Longer Bio: An OMazing life, so far
Sara grew up outside of Chicago and moved to London in 1988 . She graduated from the American School in London in 1992 and went to Colorado College where she met my husband and best friends. In 1996 she moved to the Bay Area where she lived for eight years. In 2004 just a few months before her son was born, she moved to Park City. Four years later, her second baby was born.
Her children started a dual-immersion French program in first grade. In 2018, Sara moved to Aix En Provence for a semester with her kids. While her kids attended French school, Sara wandered around and reset calling this time her “Spiritual Sabbatical.”
The dream of living in France started with the seed of intention. Sara believes in the power of intentions not because they are magical, although maybe they are…. when she named specifically what she wanted, what it looked like, what it felt like, she made actionable steps which lead to her dream coming to fruition.
Sara returned from France and certified to be a birth doula and a childbirth instructor. She worked with couples teaching for the University of Utah and privately from 2019-2025.
Sara followed her thread of curiosity. One thing lead to another and from 2019-2021, she certified to be a prenatal yoga teacher, postpartum doula, lactation counselor and a perinatal mental health provider.
In 2023, Sara graduated from the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. Her teachers Jack Kornfield & Tara Brach, mentor Emily Horn and her peers showed me the way to a more peaceful path. She continues to study and teach both yoga and mindfulness.
The following year, her family moved down Parley’s Canyon and split their time living between Park City and Holladay. She took a position as a substitute teacher of mindfulness and yoga at a psychiatric hospital in Salt Lake City. She traded the time she spent focusing on my doula and childbirth clients to my writing projects. She continues to be involved with Hive Family Collective and is training to be a death doula.
