Sarah Lauderdale Tyler, MSN, FNP-C is originally from small-town Mississippi and earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She spent six years working in the Heart and Lung Transplant ICU at UAB Hospital before returning to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. In 2012, she completed her Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Family Practice at Vanderbilt University. She is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

Sarah was initially drawn to nursing because of its foundation in holistic healing—an approach that honors the physical, psychological, environmental, and spiritual dimensions of health. This integrative model has remained central to her practice philosophy. For over a decade, she has provided primary care through an integrative lens, combining conventional and complementary approaches to support whole-person well-being. Since 2021, she has offered care via telemedicine.

Sarah fell in love with both her husband and the San Juan Mountains in the early 2000s and feels deeply grateful to be raising their two children, Pearce and Florence, along with their pup Simon Jefferson, in the magical box canyon of Telluride. Her husband is the founder and owner of there...bar and restaurant.
