home. Using a chalk board her father installed, she taught
the neighborhood children everything from math to vocabulary.
Sarah began working professionally with children in 1991.

helping children feel empowered.
When Sarah
began teaching meditation for children in Los Angeles, her
classes became a phenomenon. People without children came
to see how someone could possibly persuade and inspire children
to meditate. To help others learn what she does so effectively,
Sarah also trains adults how to teach meditation to children
in classrooms, at home, and in therapeutic settings. Sarah’s
program attracts students from across the US, Canada, Australia
and Europe.
