Hello! My name is Sara King-Kranz, and I am the author of The Garden of Soul. Writing and drawing have always been my safe haven—a place where I can freely express my thoughts, emotions, and reflections on life. I am a creative at heart, drawn to writing, song, dance, and anything that evokes joy and stirs the deep emotional currents of my soul.
My journey led me to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and holistic wellness. Naturally, I’ve always been passionate about the "self-help" genre and am an avid reader of it. My work brings me immense fulfillment as I witness individuals transform and reconnect with their authentic selves. Seeing my clients blossom and embrace their wholeness has inspired me to live by the lessons I share. I’ve learned that life often calls us to embrace multiple paths, so here I am, stepping fully into my creative calling.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with many people who felt lost or disconnected, their true selves hidden beneath the masks of societal expectations and demands. This inspired me to write The Garden of Soul, though it wasn’t my only reason. My first “why” stems from a deep love for poetry and cherished childhood memories of my mother reading to me—just as I did with my own daughter. Those warm, safe moments created a sense of connection and security, and I wanted to offer others a way to create similar experiences with their loved ones. These secure, nurturing moments are so vital to our growth and development.
My second “why” is my passion for helping clients discover their own “why” in life—the things that make them truly come alive. Witnessing their growth as they apply the tools they’ve learned is a joy, and I thought, why not extend this impact beyond my office? Often, my clients and I revisit childhood passions, reconnecting with the essence of who they are and who they’ve always been. This process of reflection and re-connection inspired me to create a book that encourages people of all ages to pause, listen to the quiet call of their hearts, and align with their soul’s purpose. We all have an inner voice yearning to be heard.
Thus, The Garden of Soul was born. Writing this book allowed me to tap into my own profound love for creating, a purpose I feel deeply called to fulfill. It’s my hope that this book brings you the same sense of connection, inspiration, and growth that guided me during its creation. In a way, we are co-creating a movement toward something meaningful and good.
I am honored to share The Garden of Soul with you and look forward to creating many more works in the future. Being able to call myself a published author alongside my role as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor is truly special, and I am grateful for this journey.
