She holds Master’s degrees from the Jewish Theological Seminary(Education) and the University of Michigan(Art History and a BFA in Fine Arts) and certifications in hypnotism, Neuro-linguistic Programming, Integrated Life Coaching, counseling and Reiki.
She sees creative expression as a potent process of staying present in the moment. She creates rituals, performance art, music, and artistic methods that encourage participants to experience a personal and communal journey. She was art director for Zeek:A Jewish Journal of Thought and Culture, for eight years.
Sapir draws from academic, ecumenical, and art history sources to innovate effective workshops and private, creative coaching sessions designed to develop skills, break through barriers, and facilitate a birthing of one’s spirituality through creative expression. Her work is eclectic, whereby a participant many be guided thought literature and text study, immerse in sound or movement, and journal or engage in a community council, to stir one’s expression. Sapir’s programs are distinguished by interdisciplinary mediums, which celebrate multiple learning styles and easily adapt to intergenerational and/or varying age groups.

I help at any stage of your professional life to develop a winning mindset to help you perform your best. I work with clients of all ages, from students applying to high school, college, and business, law, graduate, and medical school, to professionals headed to interviews as they seek internships or new job opportunities..
Interviews require self awareness, knowledge of the job you’re preparing for, confidence in yourself and value. When you feel too much pressure or anxiety, or are distracted or worried, interviews can feel overwhelming, and the prep gets hijacked by your emotional self. This, in turn, can negatively impact your performance and often leads to presenting yourself less accurately and not reflecting your true knowledge or abilities. We will change that.
