Testimonials

“After working one-on-one with Sara, I have so much more clarity. I’ve begun a new career path, have clear boundaries, am defining my direction and owning my unique skills and strengths. I know who I am as a leader and have a better sense of purpose. I’ve got the tools to make decisions that help me better balance my life and show up authentically and unapologetically in all areas. Sara is a great coach who helped me unlock insights I couldn’t find on my own. This work was a transformative experience that feels necessary for anyone who wants to get clarity about who they are and how they want to grow as a person. The experience will change how you approach your life and build your future.”

“I went into the Women’s Circle, battling self-doubt and anxiety. Working with Sara gave me the opportunity to identify the root of these feelings and the skillset to curb and manage them in a space focused on self-compassion and forgiveness. Being part of the Women’s Circle helped me build up the confidence I needed to make decisions about my career, which I had been struggling with. Being in the company of other women navigating their own journeys was healing and uplifting. I’m so grateful for having the opportunity to be part of the Women’s Circle and working with Sara.”

“After years of putting everyone else ahead of myself (because I believed that is what a good mom and wife does), this program had me face some confronting questions.

I am filled with deep, deep gratitude for Sara’s guidance as I take all the heavy, heavy coats of SHOULDS off my shoulders and relax in the joy that being me is more important. I have renewed strength, now overflowing to help my whole family deal with the pandemic and the uncertainty. I am no longer feeling like a victim in this moment, but the sage wife and mother able to give more to myself and my family.

Sara is a fantastic coach who really listens and can see your best-self. The wisdom I have gained from this coaching will undoubtedly be the core of my future planning and has given me treasures I will cherish for years to come. Be ready to work hard, see yourself anew, cherish everything more, and feel like you can dream again.”

“This workshop is a contained but very focused and valuable exercise in reflection, taking action, naming vulnerabilities but challenging ourselves not to be limited by saboteurs/negative self-talk. I felt a lot of encouragement to seize my own agency and appreciated hearing from other women experiencing similar struggles.”

When I started working with Sara, I was at a crossroads: I wanted to move from my home of 30+ years but struggled to decide where to go next. I was also burned out in my career, searching for ideas on transitioning to retirement and exploring how I might give back and have fun in the next chapter of my life.

Sara’s coaching was exactly what I needed. She helped me distill my values, recognize where they were (and weren’t) reflected in my life, and find ways to incorporate them into my next chapter. One of her most valuable tools was teaching me to slow down and pay attention to how I’m feeling in a situation—whether it’s a potential new home, a work opportunity, or a volunteer role—because that’s the weathervane for how well something aligns with my values and what I’m truly looking for. She’s an amazing listener, able to find the relevant thread even in a “I’m feeling mixed about…” conversation.

After working with Sara, I’ve found a new home in a community that supports my values—nature, activities, friendliness—and I’ll soon be transitioning to part-time work as an off-ramp to retirement. I feel so much lighter! I highly recommend Sara to anyone feeling stuck at a crossroads and unsure how to navigate forward. She can help you see the paths ahead that you might not have considered.

“I feel that regardless of whether someone is at a crossroads or feels they have it all figured out, this workshop is a great reflection tool, a useful way to put into perspective where we are and where we want to be – whether it be career, relationships, or lifestyle.”

“When I find myself weighed down by things, I think about the tools I’ve learned and I feel almost immediately lighter! Working with Sara is so worth it. You’ll find parts of yourself that you’ve forgotten and you’ll remember who you are, what you love, and what you’re capable of. I want to enjoy this portion of my life and now I know I will.”

“I had only one session with Sara, but in that session, I gained a very powerful tool — one that’s stuck with me — the ability to choose who I want to be, whether in my work or day-to-day interactions. A moment of envisioning how I want to feel inside and how I want to come across can make all the difference in my outward energy and confidence. Right after my session with Sara, I had a job interview via Skype. Taking the time in advance to visualize myself at my best fueled the entire interview with a sense of ease and support. Somehow, letting myself live up to my potential took the pressure off, and I was able to let my true energy flow. There’s freedom in being able to live at your highest level! Midlife can be such a time of questioning — big questioning! — and Sara’s open ears and thoughtful, perfectly-timed insights bring clarity and that boost of confidence just where you need it.”

“After spending many, many years in the large corporate realm I was completely hollowed-out when my job was eliminated. Sara listens with empathy, care, and wisdom. She helped me rediscover what has real meaning and value — and how far I had strayed from my true self. The notion of “what’s next?” is still very much out there for me but I now embrace it with a sense of optimistic possibility; clarity of my personal values and truths; and the confidence that everything really is going to work out just fine…”

“If you open yourself to the coaching process with Sara, you will not be disappointed, because she takes you on a journey, that is yours alone, holds you accountable, and celebrates all the wins with you along the way. The results have been life-changing.”

“Sara was so engaging and knowledgeable. She was very comforting and non-judgemental and had a beautiful way of getting our group to open up and be honest. She helped me see things in my life I haven’t acknowledged. This has inspired me to look at those truths and make changes to make me a happier version of my current self. She is a gem of a coach.”

“The Power Year Women’s Circle was like being on a masterfully curated retreat. It provided beautiful materials for inner reflection, exploration and action, as well as the space to do it at a time that was convenient for me. The weekly Zoom calls under Sara’s beautiful facilitation provided a welcoming, safe, and intimate setting to share learnings, feel the incredible support of the group, and witness the magic that happens over six weeks as each individual member uniquely owned their power to live more fully. I highly recommend this six week program as a gift to come home to yourself and all that is possible! You so deserve it and will not be disappointed!”

“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, at midlife, 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 as you stride into your Power Years.

There is so much magic and moxie and even mischief available to us in midlife. Sara is such an incredible partner and guide into the best of all of it. I can not recommend her highly enough.”

“I feel renewed. I now have a better sense of self and understanding and acceptance of where I have been and where I want to go. I see what I need to do to get where I want to go and the importance of placing myself at the centre of that journey. Sara helped me hear my inner voice, honour my values, and be open to all that is possible. It helped open the door to further study — to being okay with looking deeper and being confident in what I am truly capable of. It really made me feel like I belonged to an awesome tribe — the middle years!! The best years ever.

I found the pace and length of the program fit perfectly for me — it was just enough to begin to dig in but not overwhelming and didn’t lead to feeling like I had “failed” if I didn’t complete it. I took the program when there was a lot of general overwhelm happening. It allowed me the time I needed to reflect on myself — to recharge and begin with a new perspective. It was truly the perfect program at the perfect time. Thank you, Sara!!!”
