As a forest therapy guide and mind-body coach, Sarah’s mission is to help people feel better, while remembering their connection to the Earth and each other.

She guides and supports people recovering from chronic illness and pain, and anyone looking for stress relief and more meaning and connection. She meets with people in parks and forest preserves throughout Chicagoland, as well as over Zoom – both in groups and one-on-one.

Drawing from her own experience recovering from chronic illness and pain is an important part of her practice, in addition to years of training in different modalities like Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing, Holistic Life Coaching, and Nature and Forest Therapy. She has a BA in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Sociology and Anthropology, and spent the first part of her career working in the environmental field.

Sarah lives in Evanston, Illinois with her husband, two teenage kids, and rescue pug-hound.
