Sarah is a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Letters, Arts and Sciences.  Lifelong horse lover, began taking riding lessons at age six, she has found her own comfort and  healing through time spent working in the barn along side of horses.  As a single mother, when her young daughter showed interest in horses in 2010, Sarah then decided to obtain her PATH International certification in therapeutic horseback riding instruction.  In October of 2013, Sarah was certified as a PATH Therapeutic Riding Instructor.  In April of 2014, Serendipity took its first therapeutic client through the generosity of a local horse farm willing to lease time, space and a horse to her program. The program quickly began to grow.  

In 2016 Sarah then decided to pursue an additional PATH certification as an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning.  Throughout the years, Serendipity has served over 100 participants through various mental health organizations as well as 86 therapeutic riders through both therapeutic riding instruction and equine assisted-learning activities. 

In November of 2019, Serendipity settled into is current location, Shekinah at Weaver's Stables; also a former PATH center member located in Luzerne County, where we currently offer a variety of equine related activities, therapeutic riding instruction and farm based education opportunities. 

Sarah recently completed her certification in the Stable Moments® program; a program specifically geared to improve the life course of foster and adopted children who have experienced developmental trauma.  Serendipity is excited to become a Stable Moments® location and will begin offering the Stable Moments® program in April of 2022.

Sarah's passion is connecting horses and humans to promote positive life experiences, impacting the life skills of individuals with special needs in a safe and supportive environment.
