Grown in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Live Heal Grow, is a woman owned business that offers body/breast casting in the privacy of your own home with the option of custom painting.

The Process

We begin by meeting you in the comfort of your own home. All materials are provided. All we ask is to have access to warm water.

Next we will ask you to apply a thin coat of lubricant to the body. This will act as a protective barrier between your skin and the cast.

We start by wrapping your body with warm layers of plaster. After 20-30 minutes the plaster will begin to harden.

Once the cast naturally separates from the body, we invite you to take a quick shower or wipe off any excess plaster left on the body.

You may choose to keep your cast or have our team take it and complete a series of layering, sanding and/or custom painting. Once complete, your cast will be hand delivered with care.

Meet Our Team

Hi, my name is Sarah Allen and I was born and raised in New Mexico. I have my amazing family, including my husband of almost 2o years and 11 year old twins. I have worked as a teacher, as a birth worker, a community advocate and now as a creator of making memorable pieces of art. I am beyond excited to create lasting memories of your experience of living, healing and growing. Looking forward to casting and celebrating all bodies, pregnant, postpartum, pre or post mastectomy, pre or post top surgery, or anything you are looking forward to creating. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and get to know me! I am a dedicated mom, a passionate teacher, an emotional painter, a lover of nature, and most importantly, a constant work in progress. Live Heal Grow holds a special place in my heart because it encourages me to embrace vulnerability, nurture self-love, and fully engage in my own healing process. Each individual trusts in us as they navigate their healing journeys, and it is with deep gratitude and admiration that we support them in this unique and special way. I have gained so much strength from our clients and I look forward to sharing in the beautiful celebration of your body and all it is.
