Sara’s Credentials
Just because I got 'Most Laid Back' in high school doesn't mean I didn't meet a world of stress come college and all of the major life events it brings. After classes like Death Education and Stress Management, I turned to books and lectures to learn more. Now, my friends and family come to me to ask about stress and conflict management. Fighting stress is also an integral part of my work in health and wellness programming where I coordinate events with mind/body and stress experts.
Student Endorsements
“Sara introduced me to my new stretching friend, a tennis ball. She showed me quick ways to integrate stretching into my day. Appreciate Sara's ability to figure out my individual "issues" and give me solutions. I'd definitely take other health & fitness classes taught by her.” - Emily Olson (Gastronomy & Wine Studies Graduate Student)
