Speaking
Give them what they need: relief.
My research-backed framework removes the frustration of trying to comply with restrictive diet and fitness plans and teaches an adaptable method for participants to meet their individual needs with targeted reinforcements.
Keynotes and workshops are crafted for two specific groups:
✧ Businesses and associations striving to increase job satisfaction, productivity, and health resources for their workforce.
✧ Colleges and universities that want to help students ease overwhelm, study efficiently, and prepare for life beyond college.
Offer your community an unforgettable experience to build self-directed, healthy resources for the rest of their lives.
I have spoken at organizations and universities nationwide including Google, Vanderbilt University, the Nashville Women’s March, The University of the South at Sewanee, the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, Confluence, and the Girls to the Moon Conference.
"Sarah addresses not only nutrition and exercise obstacles but gives you a forum to work on root causes of self-sabotage and what's holding you back from success."

Corporate and University Workshops
These workshops help participants and organizations build versatile systems that can be modified over time for sustainable clarity, stress relief, and improved health outcomes.
Book clubs and bookstore events
Get a group together, and ask me your toughest questions! I love connecting with book clubs and doing bookstore events — virtually and in person.
Fundraisers
If you are raising money or awareness for women's rights, equal justice, gun violence prevention, environmental protection, or animal rescue, I donate my time for these events.

That would be enough, but she also helps us all move toward compassion, understanding, and peace. She is refreshingly upbeat and frank--so needed in these times!"
