Intuitive Coaching for Midlife Clarity

The Passage

A single 60-minute session that blends intuitive tools and creative reflection for clarity and self-discovery.

Your path to clarity in midlife

You already have your own answers, but it can be hard to hear them with all the noise around you—the advice, the tips, the quick Instagram reels and TikToks, and all the 'shoulds.'

When you ask a real question with curiosity, answers show up. You might catch them in conversations, books, or dreams. Your body may know before your mind.

The Passage gives you space for this process. We focus on one clear question, choose a passage intuitively, and help you see what emerges.

About Sara

I work with creative, open people who are experiencing all kinds of transitions. I believe you already know what you need. My job is to help you listen to yourself more clearly.

I’ve coached in this midlife space for seven years, using intuitive practice, creative tools, and deep listening. The Passage grew from my own experience with synchronicity, noticing how answers appear when we ask real questions with openness.

Who benefits from The Passage

You’re moving through midlife changes—shifts in family, roles, relationships, loss, career, menopause, or identity.

You’re facing a situation and want insight from within, not someone else’s advice.

You have questions like:

  • What do I need to know about this moment in my career?
  • How can I navigate this shifting relationship with my adult children?
  • What does creativity look like for me now?
  • How do I want to meet this next chapter?
  • What most urgently needs my attention as I step into this new role?
  • How can I make the most of this final year with my teenager at home?
  • What is most important now?
  • How can I support my aging parents without burning out?
  • How can I support myself through hormonal changes?
  • What do I need to know about an upcoming event, conversation, presentation, or meeting?

How The Passage session works

During our 60 minutes together on Zoom, we’ll:

  • Clarify your main question.
  • Invite curiosity and receptivity.
  • Work with an intuitively chosen passage as a mirror.
  • Explore what surfaces.
  • Help you access your own wisdom.

I use random passages from books, mostly non-fiction and poetry rich in wisdom, as a mirror for you. Each person sees through their own understanding.

Bring a crafted question and an open mind, and you'll notice what you’re ready to see. The passage becomes a doorway to awareness.

In other sessions, I use nature, art, and city streets as mirrors. The book-based Passage practice has a unique magic you have to experience.

Testimonials for The Passage

Leelee (The Passage)

“I’m 49 and going through a shift I can’t quite name yet. The way I see the world is changing — I’m noticing more, reacting differently, trusting something I can’t explain. It’s good but confusing, with too many questions swirling around.

Sara’s newsletter about transitions as sacred in-between spaces resonated immediately. I was curious about The Passage, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

The session was surprisingly simple yet profound. Sara helped me clarify one question from the many I had, then opened a book and read a passage that spoke directly to where I am — about facing new experiences and the unknown. She gently guided me through it, helping me connect it to my life and this transition. It felt like intuitive reflection and guided exploration, like going to a tarot reader but being on the journey together.

Since that session, I keep coming back to those insights. There’s a deeper trust now — in myself, in the process, in what wants to emerge. If you’re in a life transition and curious about what’s calling to you, try this. It’s been a delightful surprise that’s given me joyful momentum.”

Amelia (The Passage)

“I was led through a ‘Passage’ session with Sara and found it to be a heady mix of awe, surprise, and serendipity. I turned up to my session in a state of some anxiety and nervousness about an event I was running.

The actual passage she landed on was amazingly rich in content and already very relevant to the emotion I was looking to study, and change. Sara’s intuition in exploring how the passage related to my question and how I could create a tool from it was next level, and the impact is profound.

After my session, I rocked up to my event in a powerful state of mind, with a deep trust that I could handle whatever came my way. The impact I was then able to make was expanded and felt by others.

If you have a big question you want insight on, this session simply HAS to be experienced.”


– Amelia, Executive Coach & Facilitator

Johanna (The Passage)

“As a session for personal inquiry, it feels like taking an elevator to self-understanding instead of climbing the stairs—direct, efficient and supportive. Sara has a remarkable gift for creating a space where reflection feels both profound and effortless. The Passage is a powerful testament to her ability to guide others towards meaningful insight and transformation. The relief that this experience brought was palpable for me.”
