About Me…
Hi, I ‘m Sara…
I am in the midst of what you could call a mid-life pivot. After 22+ years of working in non-profit, I made the decision last year to follow my heart and turn my side passion project into full-time entrepreneurship. I work with people who are doing transformational work, in their personal lives and the world around them.
Nothing lights me up more than when I can support people in realizing their own power to create change.
Growth, authenticity and service are the values that guide me toward my vision of gathering those who are committed to reimagining new ways.
I found yoga, mindfulness and mediation while I was battling with Postpartum Depression and Grief. I promised, as I discovered these tools in my own recovery, I would learn how to share with other women. I am now an ICF Certified Life Coach, Yoga Teacher, Women’s Circle Facilitator, Empowerment Retreat Leader and the Co-Founder of Meet us On the Frontlines, a grassroots community organization connecting individuals who want to make a difference with those on the frontlines of community care.
I believe we all have something that is needed in the world right now. A unique gift, skill, idea or vision given to us for a reason and love supporting women as they discover their own voice and power.

My Journey With Postpartum Depression
Join a community of women on this healing journey
“I have known Sara for more than half of my life since meeting her in college. Doing a yoga retreat with her has been one of my goals for the past few years. The yoga, excursions and workshops were beyond what I had anticipated and the environment was exactly what I needed. I left feeling so full of life and love and brought some important "tools" home with me that will help de-stress and relax until I can return to another retreat. I'm so grateful to have had this experience with Sara and all the ladies that were there.”
