Hi! My name is Sara. Thanks for swinging by my site.

Since I was a child I have been highly creative. I was passionate about image making since the age of 16 and was privileged enough to have a teacher who believed in me and parents who built me a darkroom in our house. The support and foundation I received as a young woman serve as the cornerstone of my work. I was an athlete and photographer for the majority of my life but the Covid-19 pandemic changed everything, gifting me the opportunity to shift direction. In the midst of the uncertainty, I left the fashion photography industry and San Francisco, moving back to my ancestral lands in Iowa. Allowing yoga to be my guide, I began focusing on teaching yoga, starting a sustainable garden, and practicing presence through pottery. Now, with a newfound passion, I have a life path of meaning and service.

Art as Therapy is a deep interest of mine. Poetry writing, photography, painting, ceramics, dance, and other techniques help us to see deeply, experience, and interpret the world. Incorporating these artistic expressions into my practice is a way of looking inward at my perceptions and values. Nature also plays a large role as a teacher. Mindful walking, wild swimming, nature listening, and forest bathing create a connection to ancestors and that “small still voice” within. This connection is part of the very fabric of my makeup and plays an important role in how I interact with the world.

I am committed to studying and deepening my practice in surrender. By trusting in the universe and getting out of my own way, I am committed to allowing in the universal energy that wants to enter my life. Through this self-study practice, I recognize how resistant I am to my own life and can then open myself up to be an instrument of grace.

With a fiery spirit, a love of nature, travel, and all things adventure, I call on my courage often and hope to inspire others to do the same. I aim to spark joy while also holding space for healing.

Through the use of deep listening skills and empathy I aim to build bridges and touch the heart. I pride myself on utilizing genuine storytelling to develop connection and communication. It is my dream to work with well-wishers, do-gooders, eco, sustainable, friendly brands & people who are using their platforms to move us forward as a collective. Diversity, inclusivity, and focus on environment is my driving force. To learn more about my personal life philosophy follow me on Instagram @saradavisstudio
