Sarah (they/them) is an educator, author, certified coach, and tarot reader who helps people - especially queer & trans folks - re/connect to, deepen, complicate, + unpack their relationships to gender, sexuality, the self, & the collective through spirit-driven, ancestral, decolonial praxis & sicilian folk magic.

​

Sarah received their M.A. in Gender and Women’s History from Sarah Lawrence College where she developed research that explores how white supremacy covertly manifests in Y2K media  - specifically in “girl power” culture. She also holds an MEd and a PhD in human sexuality studies from Widener University. Sarah's doctoral research engages decoloniality, storytelling, re/membering, and re/enchantment to articulate western gender as a spiritual, ancestral, hauntological lineage rather than as a stagnant identity grounded in colonial gender norms. Sarah is certified in embodied conflict transformation and somatic parts work through the Embody Lab and loves to integrate that into their educational and coaching practices.

​​

Sarah is praised as a seasoned, dynamic educator, healer, and coach who, in her eight+ years of education-based work, consistently takes an engaging and invigorating approach when working with a diverse array of clients, students, and professionals. Their programming, workshops, and courses are informative, soulful, humorous, and participant-driven while supporting learning objectives that grow clients’ knowledge and offer practical and applied skills. 

 

Sarah does this work because helping folks reimagine and realign their relationship to gender & sexuality, building relationships, and being in community with others is not only their favorite thing to do, it is also the best way they know how to put their values into action. In "Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic As Power," Audre Lorde critiques the systems of oppression that rely on us being separate from one another, and the consequent stripping of authentic power. This is at the very heart of what this work means to Sarah. Anything that pushes people to learn more and do better in order to help them step into their power, and to live in community with one another, is not only of dire importance - it is also radical. 

​

Sarah is white, thin, lower middle-class, queer, neurodivergent, polyintimate, highly academically formally educated, and a femme. Sarah is of Jewish and Sicilian-American descent and practices Sicilian folk magic and healing. Sarah lives in Los Angeles with her partners and, most notably, Butter, the dog.
