Who We Are

Mara Stephens -OWNER

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. Being part of a large brood, everything was organized and had to be. There was no choice in the matter! 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.

TEAM

Sarah Starglass also happens to be from a family of nine children. 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. 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!
