Spiritual Counseling and Coaching
tending the sacred in you, one breath, one prayer, one step at a time
One-on-One Guidance • Deep Listening
Soul Tending • Life and Business Coaching
You carry stories, questions, longings, and patterns that are ready to shift. You carry gifts that are waiting to come through more clearly. In our fast-paced world, it can be hard to slow down enough to hear your own inner knowing — and even harder to translate that knowing into real, grounded steps.
My one-on-one work is a spacious, intuitive, grounded counseling experience that blends spiritual guidance, healing presence, deep listening, earth wisdom, trauma-informed support, and practical coaching. Together, we create a field where your soul can speak — and be met — while also identifying the simple, doable steps that help you bring that inner truth into your daily life.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, craving clarity, healing old wounds, strengthening your intuition, developing a creative or vocational project, or longing to reconnect with your purpose… this work is a place to come home to yourself — and move forward with clarity, courage, and real-world support.
“Working with Sarai is so much deeper and more transformative than any other therapy or coaching
I’ve experienced. Sarai’s invitations and suggestions have
led me to a stronger trust in my own ritual healing work. I fully trust being held in this way by this beautiful wise woman, and wish this kind of sweet safety for every one of us”.
~ MEG TOBEN, Founder/Director, Eco-Institute

"Sarai’s witnessing and accompaniment has deeply supported me & anchored me in my life. She holds space with care and empathy, and I feel her commitment to my growth, to my thriving, and to stepping more and more fully into my purpose. Sarai offers both gentleness and fierceness in her encouragement to live with clarity, focus, ease, & grace. She is a kind, thoughtful, trustworthy, and wise coach & guide."

My approach to healing and wholing
My work weaves together deep soul listening, somatic awareness, ceremony, energy work, and practical coaching to help you create real, embodied change. I draw from decades of study and relationship — including shamanic and ceremonial training with teachers in the Shipibo and Mazatec traditions, early apprenticeship with Hawksbrother, three years of energy training with Lyda Cesera, and long involvement with the 8 Shields nature-connection community and Animas Valley mentors.
My approach is grounded in somatic modalities such as Hakomi, Somatic Experiencing, Focusing, Body-Mind Centering, Authentic Movement, and yoga, as well as clinical herbalism and plant spirit medicine. Blending ancient wisdom with modern tools, I help you access your inner truth and translate it into small, meaningful steps that bring your life into alignment. You can see my full bio here.
Ways to work with me one on one
Regular bi-monthly sessions
A consistent, intimate space for clarity, healing, and alignment. A steady, intuitive space to reconnect with your inner wisdom and tend to what’s alive. We blend soul work with practical guidance so your insights translate into small, meaningful steps in your everyday life.

"My time spent with Sarai as a mentor and coach helped me unlock deeper layers to my inner world and gave me the authentic gift of being witnessed and understood as I navigate a pivotal threshold time. Sarai carries a breadth of supportive practices that are embodied, experiential, and allow for opening into deeper, often unseen and untapped realms of being. Sarai has a rooted, nurturing presence and a profoundly deep connection to the Earth that can be felt rippling through her offerings like sweet birdsong".

“What I appreciate most about Sarai’s coaching is her ability to embody this delicate balance between being soft, gentle and inviting and being strong, stable and grounding. This balance of flow and firmness has helped me so much to progress in my path. I am so grateful for this well-honed support”!
~ DR. SONALI DEEPIKA, founder of I am Sacred Ground
“Sarai has held the most loving and skillful space for me, as I find my way back to myself, and to my own gifts. Through group wilderness experiences and individual 1:1 work, Sarai is supporting me as I continue to align my life with my higher self and purpose, keeping me on track with an uncanny combination of abilities: seeing me for who I am, my soul self, while also (successfully!) supporting me to take action-steps to keep my human self in motion.
In just a few coaching sessions, the way Sarai has been able to understand the arc of my journey, to ask questions that shift my awareness in just the right ways, and to get me to do things in the service of my life (things I've avoided doing for years), has been remarkable.
The well is deep and varied and full of beauty at every turn. If you have the chance to include her in any of your own life projects, you are very blessed”.
~ TANYA PEARLMAN, LCSW
“I love working with Sarai. She helps me connect with my inner wisdom, she reflects a clear and succinct message that leaves me feeling more in touch with myself. She is a wise and trusted guide, with a tool box full of amazing practices and techniques that have helped me guide myself into the future I am choosing”. ~ RACHEL, climate activist
“I’ve been working with Sarai as a coach for over four years, and I couldn’t be happier with this relationship. Sarai brings so many things to the table. She’s thoughtful, grounded in deep spirituality, and incredibly supportive. We can cover ALL of the things - from family to career, from creativity to spiritual practice - and I leave feeling calmer, with a larger perspective, and almost always with concrete steps to take going forward.
She’s supported me in raising a teen through many challenges, through writing and publishing a picture book (with helpful input on language), and with growing insight into my personal path. Through the hard times and the celebratory times, I’ve always appreciated her questions and insights. After we took a few months break, I really came to appreciate the impact of our sessions and how much I missed them. Sarai offers personal support on every level, and I highly encourage anyone curious to give coaching with Sarai a try. It will expand and support your world”!
