I’m so grateful to be in the presence of anything that Sarah puts her heart into.. The whole course felt like an invitation to come home to myself.
The Busy Trap...
An an expression of the feminine, tea imparts an energy that is cool, quiet, calm, intuitive, magical and wise. As Earth's original plant spirit medicine, tea will guide you to your fullest expression.
I understand how easy it is to succumb to the allure of busyness, speed and productivity. I also know the resulting feelings of overwhelm, frustration and self-doubt and the shallow breaths that come from fear and misalignment. Life has also given me an opportunity to navigate post-partum, divorce, mothering teenagers, menopause, love, loss and complicated family dynamics!
…So I make time for tea; I cultivate moments of stillness and beauty…
Tea reminds me, over and over again, that there is a deep, cool river running underneath it all and then she takes me there. She guides me home to my most calm, powerful, wise and true self.
In the storms of life, Tea reminds me to slow down and connect to a greater truth, a better outcome and a positive perspective. Tea keeps me grounded, resilient and free — free enough to show up not just as my calmest self, but my fullest, truest one. That's what I want for you too.

Ultimately, of course, tea has taught me how to lead, nourish, protect and guide myself...
This course also represents over 30 years of acquired knowledge of the practices of herbalism, organic farming and cooking as well as personal evolution, yoga and energy work. There is so much love woven into these teachings.

There is a lifetime of tea knowledge here as well. It is all woven together to bring more peace, meaning and joy in your life.
Tea is my dharma, my purpose and my light to shine. It is my greatest honor and pleasure to share the magic and medicine of tea with you. Thank you for being here and for joining me on this journey.

Why Tea
Moments of stillness & beauty...
Tea is an invitation to slow down, to delight in life’s simple pleasures and to notice the beauty within and all around you. Even if only for one moment each day, I would like to invite you to simply be and to receive... because this is where the magic lies!
Tea transforms lives, one sip at a time...
Tea is an ancient plant spirit medicine with the energetic frequency of connection.
Whether a meditative matcha, an illuminating oolong, a transformative puerh, a lively chai, a cozy London Fog or a social sweet tea, tea connects us– to ourselves, to each other and to Nature. Beyond culture or agriculture, throughout time and across the globe, tea guides, nourishes and heals us.
For this reason, tea has been ceremonialized and shared as an enriching ritual to amplify its impact. Tea is a powerful practice, like yoga, to help you cultivate a life you love.
