Artist * Somatic Guide * Yoga Therapist
Sara combines her extensive training as a Yoga Therapist, Somatic Facilitator, and Meditation Mentor with a deep commitment to guiding women in reclaiming their power and wisdom, living fully embodied in their bodies and lives. A lifelong seeker and mystic, she has devoted herself to the study and sharing of yogic and tantric traditions, somatic practices, and the creation of sacred art to support this journey. With profound reverence for the wisdom of the feminine and the cycles of nature, she helps women reconnect with their bodies and trust their deep inner knowing as the source of personal guidance and self-worth.
Grounded in the understanding that every woman's journey is unique and deeply personal, Sara creates a safe and supportive space where women are free to explore their profoundly individual paths. Through intuitive guidance and insights from wisdom traditions, she provides both time-honored and individually tailored practices to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery. Sara's approach prioritizes illuminating various pathways and options, rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution. By holding space, she nurtures an environment where women can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences without judgment.
In addition to her yoga & meditation and somatic studies, Sara holds additional credentials as a holistic health practitioner and in holistic nutrition, providing a deep understanding that nourishment must come at all levels. Sara continues her education in shamanic therapies, exploring natural law and the healing properties of plant medicines.
Sara holds a Fine Arts degree and has a deep passion for paining, channeling her creativity to create paintings and murals for individuals and sacred spaces, infusing them with intention and inviting chosen energies into the spaces they live. You can view some of her recent sacred art work HERE.
My journey has been a master class in navigating the complexities of modern culture and spiritual teachings. I was taught that fitting in, keeping everything under control, and traditional routes to success would keep me safe and happy. The broader cultural values in a puritanically based, capitalist, patriarchal society further encouraged giving away all of my power. The distance between these values and my own was vast and it led to a lot of confusion and anxiety. The stage was set for a long process of unlearning and self-discovery.
In my quest for deeper meaning (or to deal with my existential angst) I sought out many teachings. I found that many spiritual teachers, despite their wisdom, operated within the same dependency-driven, authority based frameworks. These teachings helped and sometimes felt good but ultimately reinforced the patterns I was experiencing.
Deeply and personally engaging with traditional and tantric yoga and somatic practices, with orientation and context, helped me reclaim my sense of agency and personal sovereignty. This was my winding road.
Today, I live an unfolding journey rather than striving for perfection. Supported by mentors, a circle of incredible women, and a deep connection to my body, I’ve moved beyond perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overwhelm. This ongoing process helps me stay grounded and present, living with alignment and clarity.
Through all of this… the ocean has been my most beloved teacher. I am a mother to two extraordinary daughters. As a painter, seeker, and student of the flowers, I value slowness, depth, pleasure, and the space to sit with the unknown.
