about us
HalRay Life was founded by Dr. Sarah Fischer as an evolution of her original health and wellness coaching practice, Natural Living, established in 2004.
With more than 20 years of experience in biopsychosocial health, emotional wellbeing, and environmental influences on human functioning, Dr. Fischer’s work has always focused on understanding the full context of human experience—not just symptoms or surface-level concerns.
Over time, she recognized a growing need for more individualized, integrative, and self-directed approaches to healing—particularly for individuals navigating complex relational dynamics, identity shifts, and chronic emotional stress.
This realization led her into an extended path of advanced study and clinical training in psychology, trauma, and holistic health.
Education & Clinical Background
Dr. Fischer brings together multiple disciplines to support a whole-person model of care:
- Master of Social Work (MSW) — clinical training in mental health and trauma
- Master’s in Holistic Health Studies — integrative mind-body wellness approaches
- PhD in Counseling Psychology (Marriage & Family Systems) — relational dynamics, identity, and psychological development
This combination allows her to bridge:
- clinical understanding
- psychological depth
- and holistic, systems-based approaches to wellbeing
About Dr. Sarah Fischer Ph.D. , LMSW, MAHS
Sarah was born and raised in Northern Wisconsin, where an early life immersed in nature shaped her lifelong commitment to grounded, holistic living and a deep appreciation for the balance of community and the natural world.
Outside of her professional work, she is a mother of four and values family life, meaningful connections, and time in nature. She enjoys reading, writing, and quiet reflection—often near the lake or in the rhythm of the seasons.
She brings a grounded, values-driven presence to both her personal and professional life, centered on purpose, connection, and intentional living.
About the Name
HalRay Life Co. is named after Sarah’s Grandmothers who brought strength, honesty, goodness, love, light, and faithfulness into Sarah’s life. They were beautiful examples of Salt and Light for Sarah and taught her many valuable lessons that gave her the wisdom to find her life’s path with discernment and grace.
Her grandmother Petronella, whose name means Rock, was not only a strong foundation for Sarah to lean on, but she was also a very good and honest person or “salt of the earth”.
Her grandmother Margaret (Margie as Sarah’s grandpa Ray called her) means Child of Light and she was a light in Sarah’s life as she modeled love for her family, nature, and her faith.
HalRay= Hal for Halite (Rock Salt) and Ray for Grandpa Ray’s Child of Light

Authentic Living
I have come to Sarah many times for ailments that I could not figure out. Every time she went above and beyond to make me feel cared for and heard. All the other physicians I visited made me feel like my symptoms were in my head, but Sarah believed me. She recommended the Zyto Compass hand scan - The hand scan provides information on different body systems functions and nutrients that might be missing from your system. It is then Sarah’s job to gather that information, sift through it and determine what all of it means as to what might be ailing you. She found what was ailing me, suggested remedies that helped me, and kept checking in on me even after our appointments were done. I highly recommend any of her services. You couldn’t be in better hands.
