Who We Are

Mara Stephens and Sarah Starglass are two friends who both happen to be from a family of nine children. They learned from being part of a large brood what it means to be organized and have working systems.

In Mara’s family, everything had a place and we all knew where items belonged. Kids were never late to school, lunches were always ready in the morning, dinner always prepared in the evening, laundry was labeled and folded, coats were always hung. There was a clear and easy system for everything and everyone in her family. Mara’s entire upbringing was about respecting one another by respecting our mutual and individual spaces.

In Sarah’s family since she was one of the oldest, it was left to her to organize all her siblings. She had to cook, set up lunches and help her mother get everyone organized. It was not an easy childhood growing up as one of the oldest but it made her the person she is today!

Mara has spent her professional life connecting with people. Whether through social work, sign language interpreting, or acting. Mara has a deep ability to understand and relate to people’s emotional state and work with them to achieve their personal goals.

Through growing up in a kibbutz, Sarah really knows how to work collaboratively. She is a people person and gets why and how individuals may struggle with their “stuff”. Sarah is a wellness advocate and is focused on incorporating a healthy lifestyle to her work.
