Sara Ragan, MMT, MT-BC, brings together a lifelong passion for music with a deep commitment to supporting people in meaningful ways. After earning a psychology degree from Luther College, Sara spent many years working with children with diverse abilities, including ASD, (autism spectrum disorder), and individuals with developmental and behavioral needs. Through this work, she witnessed firsthand how music can open doors to communication, emotional expression and connection.

She later earned her Master’s of Music Therapy degree from Augsburg University, where she strengthened her clinical skills and expanded her understanding of music’s therapeutic impact across the lifespan. Her professional path has included teaching music lessons to youth, teens and adults, facilitating music groups, and providing music therapy in a wide range of settings–hospitals, schools, after-school programs, mental health programs, hospice care, and cancer centers.

These varied experiences have shaped her warm, intuitive, and person-centered approach. She believes deeply in music’s ability to help individuals tap into resilience, build stronger relationships, and experience personal growth. Her work is guided by empathy, respect, and the belief that every person carries an innate capacity for healing and connection.
