Meet Coach Sara

With over a decade of experience as a certified health and well-being coach and exercise physiologist with training in lifestyle medicine, I am focused on building on your strengths and values to move beyond thoughts and habits that are getting in the way of your health & well-being by addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and discovering supportive strategies that work for you. I am committed to providing a personalized coaching experience that begins with creating a coaching partnership of purpose, meeting my clients where they are, identifying where they want to be, and creating a plan to make it happen.

Over the years spent coaching, training and parenting, I have personally experienced and witnessed common struggles around competing priorities, injuries, lack of exercise, emotional eating, food intolerances and allergies, weight gain, and high levels of stress leading to health issues and illnesses including pre-diabetes, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression, and anxiety. 

It’s challenging to prioritize our health throughout the different seasons of life and can be discouraging and frustrating trying to make changes on our own that just don’t stick or through different programs that don’t meet our unique needs. Through coaching, I realized there was a better pathway to navigate our health and well-being. My training and passion for living out my faith through creating coaching partnerships of purpose provides a solid foundation for helping clients to make positive, lasting changes in their health and well-being.
