Sara Burns
Healer. Storyteller. Founder of Letters from a Healer.
For most of my life, I have been fascinated by the ways people heal, grow, and find meaning through life's challenges.
My journey began in healthcare as a nurse and later as a social worker, where I worked with individuals and families facing trauma, grief, abuse, illness, and life's many turning points. Those experiences taught me something I would witness again and again throughout my life: people are often far stronger and wiser than they realize.
At the age of twenty-seven, a near-death experience opened a door I never expected to walk through. It challenged many of my assumptions and led me on a lifelong exploration of healing, consciousness, and the deeper questions that shape our lives.
That path eventually led me into the practice and teaching of energy healing. For more than twenty years, I worked with students and clients seeking healing, growth, and transformation. During that time, I founded Sacred Transformations®, a healing and training program recognized among Massage Magazine's Top 10 Reiki Programs in 2023.
Yet some of the greatest lessons I learned did not come from trainings, certifications, or techniques. They came from lived experience — from the stories people shared, the challenges they overcame, and the unexpected wisdom that often emerges during life's most difficult seasons.
My own health challenges deepened those lessons, teaching me that healing is rarely a straight path. More often, it is a journey of learning, listening, adapting, and discovering strengths we never knew we possessed.
Letters From a Healer was born from a desire to share the stories, reflections, and insights gathered through decades of healing work, teaching, and life itself.
Each month, I invite you to slow down, pour a cup of tea, and spend time with a story, a reflection, a poem, or a healing practice that may offer a new way of seeing yourself and the world around you.
Thank you for being here.
