About

Hi! I'm Sara.

I've been a professional singer since I was 11 years old, and I've been a Worship Leader for over 20 years.

Several years ago, I was diagnosed with vocal cord paresis - part of my left vocal cord was paralyzed. Thankfully I made a full recovery, but through that process I learned that winging it with your voice is not the way to go.

I set out to educate myself and learn what made a voice 1) great and 2) long lasting. And now I'm passing it along to any worship leader or worship singer who wants to learn!

I'm so excited and honored that you're here!
