Crochet Instruction

Intimidated by crochet?

Struggling with a kit?

I got you.

I learned to crochet with a kit, several books, and YouTube. While I was successful, I found myself dissatisfied with the limitation of book images and the video speed of YT or social media videos.  On my YouTube channel, I slow down the instruction in long-form videos. That patience and dedication to clarity is what I bring to in-person individual and group instruction sessions.


As an AuDHD adult, with a neuro-divergent family, I am aware of the adaptation, and accommodation that autistic and disabled people need.


It is not a burden to adjust to the student  - it is a requirement.


So, if you're ready to cro-slay,

Mocha will show you the way!

Stanford Medical Creative and Healing Arts


Sarah provides group and bedside instruction to patients, caretakers, and staff at Stanford Medical in Palo Alto, CA.

The Creative and Healing Arts program recognizes the mind-body connection that is crucial to healing and provides donor-funded arts programs.

The act of crochet releases serotonin with each stitch regulating your mood and alleviating anxiety and depression. The enjoyable sensory experience of the yarn - both in creation and the finished item - releases oxytocin, which in turn lowers cortisol.

The end result is a sense of grounded calm, connectedness, and resilience that can carry patients through their health journey in and beyond the hospital.
