MEET SARA
I’m an educator who has worn many hats throughout my career. What remains constant, I care about creativity, relationships, and supporting others. My journey has taken me from counseling psychology and parenting education (with a Master’s in Education and graduate certificate in parenting education) to running my own business, Moving Through Parenthood.
After years of teaching parents, I followed another passion, baking, and started Sara Ran Away with the Spoon. It began as a home bakery and evolved into teaching teens to bake.
Through these experiences, I discovered the kitchen is a place for joy and learning. Whether it’s a teen gaining confidence while making their first cake, or a woman facing a major life transition, baking teaches us that the best things require time, care, and the courage to try again when something doesn’t turn out as planned.
Today, I focus on helping women find their purpose, passion, and possibility as they face life’s sweet transitions. You could call me a Sweet Transitions Educator who still loves to bake.
When I’m not in the kitchen or working with clients, you’ll find me outdoors—swimming, biking, walking, or cross-country skiing, or curled up with a good book (fiction or cookbooks!). I’m a mom of two grown children and share my days with my husband and our rescue dog, Phoebe.
