HOW CAN I HELP?

For Most People, Strict, Cumbersome "Wellness" Plans Trigger Some Mixture Of Heroic Effort, Rebellion, Guilt, and—Ultimately—Resignation.
👉 Learning how to work with your fundamental need for independence and your natural stress responses is the key to lasting change that feels easy and uncomplicated.
Coaching helps you learn how to build responsive, adaptable, healthy routines without adhering to restrictive diet and fitness plans.
"Sarah is so much more than a health coach. She’s an empowerment factory. Working with her has been life-changing. I've struggled with body image and my relationship with food MY ENTIRE LIFE. After working with Sarah, I finally understand what it means to be mindful of my body, positive about my wellness, and free from an all-or-nothing approach to health. It feels like being able to breathe, maybe for the first time ever... truly and deeply. I'm so grateful to have Sarah in my life."

THE PROCESS
Make Lasting Peace With Food And Your Body
Coaching differs from therapy in that it's forward-facing. We're not looking back. We're starting right here—with what matters, what's hard, and what you love—and looking forward to get a taste of what you’re craving and how to get more of it.
Working with me, you are always in the driver's seat. I do not believe in trapping my clients into big packages that cost thousands of dollars. We work five sessions at a time. You can schedule at your convenience and quit or scale back any time you like.
The discovery process might include any or all of these 10 areas of life.

They dovetail and collide where you least expect, and trying to control them all can be an exhausting, never-ending game of whack-a-mole.
Together, we'll figure out where to start, what feels like relief, and how to build on it.
"Working with Sarah has been liberating and transformational. She helped me realize, after years of dieting, that I didn't have to deprive or punish myself, and there wasn't something wrong with me. What a wake up call! I’m finding greater peace every day, and as a result my choices are getting healthier. Sarah’s encouragement, wisdom, and genuine compassion have been life-changing. I’m forever grateful to have found her. "

Coaching Is For You If:
-
You know what you want to do but can't seem to do it
-
You don't know what you want to do, but, whatever it is, it's something different.
-
You are tired of trying to manipulate your body and brain.
-
You are devoted to your family, work, and community, but you're also losing your breath—and something has to give.
-
You want to value and strengthen your body, rather than resenting it.
-
You are no longer willing to question your own judgment, intellect, or worth based on other people's ideas about what beauty and power are supposed to look like.
-
You want someone to dictate a generic, one-size-fits-all plan.
-
You are facing an acute crisis that requires medical or psychological intervention.
-
You are happy and at peace just as you are!
Coaching Is Not For You If:
"Working with Sarah, I have created a healthier approach to food, movement and exercise, and my overall health—but the most important work I have done is to rewrite what I believed those things should look like. She knows how to ask the right questions, share ideas and experience that help move you in whatever direction you need to be going, and, most importantly, do it with kindness. I recently walked into a new decade of life feeling more confident and secure in who I am, and my time with Sarah has played a big role in that. It has been one of the most important investments of my life."
