About Me
When I began coaching in 2018, my work centered around the power of midlife, something I believed deeply in, and still do.
The work resonated quickly. My practice grew, my audience expanded, and I became part of the growing online conversation about aging, identity, and possibility.
In 2023, I found myself really heart broken by the world, and navigating chronic pain.
I stepped away from social media for two years and turned my attention toward healing, reflection, creativity, and focused a lot on my own growth.
During that time, I completed additional training in coaching the unconscious mind, which allows me to work more deeply with people’s blocks and inner patterns. I also co-created a workshop called Map of Now, which invites people to access the present moment through art, reflection, and creative expression.
I began a daily drawing practice that started as a small experiment and slowly became a way of returning to myself. Over time, it became a source of steadiness, joy, and reflection, something I began to share publicly, with a sense of surprise and delight of how it has been received.
What has emerged from those quieter years was not a reinvention so much as a deeper integration.
I still care deeply about growth, possibility, and the transformative power of midlife. But I no longer experience my work as belonging to a demographic or category.
I’m more interested now in how we remain connected to ourselves, to creativity, to meaning, and to one another while living through uncertain, challenging, and complicated times.
And while I’m moving away from the midlife focus, I’m still a woman in my mid-fifties committed to my own evolution and authenticity.
In January 2026, I shared a personal story with a room full of people who had braved Toronto’s worst snowstorm in years to be there. It was a story I never imagined telling publicly, and the experience reminded me how powerful honesty, vulnerability, and shared presence can be.
I also trained as a host for Grateful Gatherings with Grateful Living, a global nonprofit organization that encourages meaningful living through the practice of gratitude.
As a mother of emerging adults, I am guided by a deep desire for a safer, more loving, and livable future for all of us.
And as both a daughter and granddaughter, one grandmother is 100 and the other 90, I’m living an unusual version of the sandwich generation, maybe it’s more like a club sandwich, delicious but sometimes messy.
This season of life has me thinking often about care, responsibility, interdependence, and what it means to stay connected to my own exhilarating journey while also showing up for the people I love.
Both/and. Always.

What people say about working with Sara
Karen Ward
“I hired Sara when I was about to make some changes in my business. I hired her (instead of a business coach) because I knew this change would require an examination of values, identity, and life priorities, as well as a business model evolution. I was also clear that I wanted the next decade to look and feel different than the last one.
Sara is an extraordinary coach. She is curious and kind and masterful at holding space for the mess and uncertainty that is an inevitable part of transformational change. She is creative and intuitive and deeply committed to you coming home to yourself, to becoming the best and most resilient and powerful version of yourself.
Sara is such an incredible partner and guide into the best of all of it. I can not recommend her highly enough.”

Marina Dempster
“Sara is far more than an experienced and effective coach. She is a highly intuitive and sensitive leader who made me feel at ease and able to access my own wisdom in adaptable ways I could not have imagined possible before. Working with Sara is a beautiful process of healing, dreaming, and manifesting one’s deep truth.”

“Sara listens and connects to the whole of what is being said, opening up a larger framework that shifts viewpoints, bringing clarity to questions and answers you didn’t know you were asking and seeking.”
