Sarana works as a doula, herbal practitioner, artist, and model. To combine her passion for art and holistic/sustainable living with her belief in service, and dedication to her community she created JuneBug IFCA ( initiative for creative action)_ This non profit organization holds a mission is to uplift, unite, and empower our communities through earth based education and arts initiatives. It aims to expand the reach of holistic living principals while addressing difficult social constructs.
