Sara Lancia

Forest Play Teacher

From early childhood, Sara experienced family camping trips and a country cottage on the lake where she preferred to be barefoot.  Her passion and respect for the natural world followed into her education where she completed a B.Sc. Environmental Science specialization.  She has always included physical education, fitness, and nutrition classes throughout her education and is a certified group fitness instructor with the YMCA.

Having found her way into a career of health care specializing in mental health, she recognizes the positive impact nature and environment have on healing and wellness. This has fostered a drive to educate youth in skills of mindfulness, balance, and appreciation of the simple things available to us. Currently completing her training as special educator she hopes to encourage self-regulation and emotional expression with compassion and respect for ourselves and others.

​

In addition, Sara is bilingual in French and English languages. Her knowledge in French language will support the building of our bilingual program at Hudson Forest Play.
