You've spent a lifetime caring for others. Now the ones you love need care — and navigating the healthcare system shouldn't fall on your shoulders alone.
Helping a loved one through a medical crisis is not a sprint — it's a marathon and an obstacle course all at once. I am here as a reference, a guide, through it all.
YourNurseFriendSara is a private nurse advocacy and guidance service for women navigating the healthcare journey of a loved one. With 14 years of nursing experience across some of the country's top hospitals, Sara offers hands-on clinical support — from in-hospital advocacy to care coordination and beyond. As a Sanctioned Council Guide under the pre-Mayan Delicate Lodge tradition, she brings an additional layer of intuitive, whole-person support to help caregivers find balance and wholeness through one of life's most demanding seasons.
With nearly 14 years as a registered nurse, I have worked throughout the hospital — med/surgery floors, ICUs, and the ER — at some of the top institutions in the country, from Vanderbilt to UCSF.
As your Hospital Doula and Nurse Advocate, I stand in the room where the important conversations happen, ask the questions you don't know to ask, and translate complexity into clarity.
I am a Sanctioned Council Guide under the Delicate Lodge — a pre-Mayan earth-based tradition passed from keeper to keeper. Its medicine wheels are maps of consciousness: living tools for measuring where we are and finding our way back to balance and wholeness.
Twenty years on the spiritual path and seven years of study under this lineage have taught me that illness is never only physical. The body, emotions, spirit, and heart-mind are always in conversation.
A pre-Mayan tradition carried keeper to keeper
The medicine wheels of the Delicate Lodge are living maps of consciousness — tools for measuring where we are and finding our way back to balance and wholeness.
What I offer is rare: the precision of a seasoned nurse and the depth of someone who has spent two decades cultivating inner knowing — seven of those years as a Sanctioned Council Guide under the Delicate Lodge tradition.
When I sit with a family navigating a health crisis, I bring all of it. The technical knowledge. The systems fluency. And the quiet ability to sense what is unspoken — what each direction of the wheel reveals about where balance has been lost, and what is needed to restore it.
The wheel does not tell you what to do. It shows you where you are. From there, the path becomes visible.
Spirit, emotions, body, and heartmind — I attend to all of them in every engagement. Nothing is left out.
The wheel is a tool for awareness. Together we locate where energy is contracted or excessive and explore what balance asks of us.
The Delicate Lodge tradition has been carried keeper to keeper since before recorded history. Its maps are time-tested truths about what it means to be human.
Being a helper does not mean disappearing. Your discernment, your restoration, your wholeness — these deserve the same care.
My services span the clinical and the integrative — because true care attends to body, emotions, spirit, and heartmind. Always.
Present during rounds and key conversations. Translating medical language into clarity. Ensuring your loved one's body and voice are honored within the system.
Managing the complex web of specialists, tests, referrals, and follow-ups. Creating cohesion where the system creates confusion.
Safe, informed transitions from hospital to home, rehab, or the next level of care — with a steady hand guiding every step.
Using the Elemental Wheel as a living map of consciousness, we locate where balance has been lost and find what restoration asks of us across all four directions.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. I tend to the caregiver with the same care and attention I bring to the care being given.
Expert clinical guidance and intuitive support via video or phone — for families navigating care from a distance or preparing for what lies ahead.
"The hospital room and the medicine wheel are not so different — both are places where we face what is real, find what is needed, and remember the uniqueness and preciousness of being human."
Capable and accomplished — and suddenly navigating a medical world that was not built for the depth, nuance, and wholeness she knows herself to carry.
