“you must learn to love yourself as you are. In this self love, there rises a sun in your heart.
This is the dawning of your inner wisdom, intuition…

the true knowledge.”

-Dr. Vasant Lad

About Sara

Born in the mountains outside of Boulder, Colorado, Sara was raised with an intimate connection to the natural world, and an endless curiosity of its wild Mystery. She became fascinated with the way Nature unfurled Herself, constantly growing and changing and regenerating. When she began working with infants as a nanny, she found these cycles of growth and regeneration alive in the families she supported, especially in the magical process of pregnancy, birth and postpartum that she had seen so many mothers through in her work.

After 15 years of nannying, along with a bachelors degree in Spanish, a growing career as a musician, many travels around the world, and a few of life’s inevitable curveballs, she found herself back home in Boulder and in a training to be a birth Doula. She remembers this as a pivotal initiatory moment in her life.

After her doula training, Sara moved to Albuquerque, NM to study Ayurvedic medicine, where she was auspiciously introduced to her first birth client, who was a fellow student in her program.

While simultaneously steeped in her Eastern medical studies, Sara experientially learned how to care for a pregnancy, birth and postpartum period through the lens of Ayurveda.

After continuing her clinical studies in India, and acquiring her 200-hour yoga teacher training in Nada Yoga (the yoga of sound) she returned home and completed a 200-hour certification course in Ayurvedic Postpartum care with the Sacred Window Studies program, followed by a 950-hour massage certification with advanced perinatal massage training.

She now offers her hands, heart and years of experience to families in their Sacred Postpartum Window, as well as seeing regular clients for Ayurvedic Counseling, and offering her Medicine Music in ceremonies and private sessions.

RASA  /ˈ räsə /  [ ruhs-uh ] is the sap that runs through the vessels of our beings (literally it is lymph or plasma), but its meaning has much more depth as well. Rasa carries the essence of life—the melodious song of nectar coursing through our body’s rivers, bringing life and nutriment to each layer of our being. Rasa is the waters of our body, the nourisher and Mother within us all. Without it, our human experience would be dry and lifeless, void of flavor, taste, nourishment and emotional depth.

SĀRA / ˈsɑr ə /   [ sahr-uh ] is to be of the finest quality, to be the perfect embodiment of. 

When these mother waters of the body (RASA) are at their cleanest and purest state (SĀRA), that purity cascades down through every tissue and layer of the body, creating the highest level of health at every level of our being.
RASA SĀRAis the foundation of radiant health, balance and well being—

your truest nature.
