Sarah Tollefson

Founder & President | Rest & Resilience Retreat

Sarah Tollefson is a law enforcement professional and community leader with over ten years of experience in both sworn and non-sworn roles across various law enforcement positions. Through this work, she has collaborated closely with first responders, families, and multidisciplinary partners in high-stress environments, gaining a deep understanding of the cumulative demands placed on those who serve.

This experience reinforced Sarah’s belief that first responders need intentional space to decompress, rest, and reconnect with their loved ones to create healthier, more sustainable work-life balance. She founded Rest & Resilience Retreat to provide accessible, meaningful wellness experiences that support long-term resilience through rest, connection, and community.

As President of the Board, Sarah brings strengths in leadership, community partnerships, and program development. Outside of her professional and nonprofit work, she enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and prioritizing wellness and balance with family and friends.
