Hi! I’m Sarah.

You’re here because you’re considering coaching with me, which means you’re likely either on the path to burnout or you’re already dealing with the very real physical, emotional and energetic struggles that come with burnout and a lack of support.

A few years ago, I was really struggling with life.

Life looked great on the outside - I was slim and toned (stress made the weight fall off me), I always had a smile on my face (but I’d cry in private), and I was making good money (but spending it as soon as it hit my account).

I was exhausted all day then wired by bed time.

In 2013 had my first baby (prematurely) and was diagnosed with birth trauma and PTSD; in 2016 when I was pregnant with my second child, I was diagnosed with perinatal depression.

I was deeply unhappy, my mind was chaotic, and I made a plan to end it all (while I was 38 weeks pregnant).

Thankfully, I was already under the perinatal mental health team and so I knew what to do in my crisis situation, and that crisis was averted… but it was a huge wake up call that things had to change.

But I slept through this wake up call.

I carried on at a million miles an hour. Solo parenting two young children while my military husband lived four hours away and came home every other weekend.

I was running my chiropractic studio around school and nursery; driving all over the country to visit family and attend seminars; doing everything in the home and trying to live up to the same standards I had before motherhood.

I was everything for everyone around me, supportive and dropping everything for a friend in need, but never feeling able to ask for the help that I needed.

I bulldozed my way through my own problems with wine, online shopping & Netflix.

Life was overwhelming.

I was exhausted. I was burnt out.

Along came another mental health crisis - one that I paid attention to.

I got to work, deeply assessing every area of my life. I worked with a therapist and a coach, and over time, things changed. I’d love to say it was a quick fix, 90 day sprint. But that would be lying. Like anything that created lasting change, it was a process.

My therapist helped me work through my past. My coach helped me design & create my future.

I moved my practice into a new studio, filled it with beautiful clients that I loved working with. I started to get fitter and stronger by prioritising my workout time and walks in nature. I got into journalling again as well as my daily meditation. I developed a gratitude practice and made time for embodied movement. I started to feel like me again.

Then in 2021 I was told I had cancer and needed an operation to remove part of my bowel.

I viewed it as another opportunity for a lifestyle overhaul. I closed my practice and spent 9 months retraining as a coach so that I could work around the military (it’s chaotic at the best of times) and also pull our children out of school to home educate them (something I’ve wanted to do for years).

While I have no idea what will come our way over the next decade, if I have learnt one thing from the last ten years, it’s that being honest and open about our struggles as well as owning our desires is the key to unlocking the amazing potential we have to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My clients have often kept their ‘shame stories’ or even their ‘shameful desires’ locked away inside for so long that it feels dangerous to share and be really seen. If you’re ready to step out of the old narrative, into something new and more fitting with who you know you are at your core, let’s talk.

I’d love to help you redefine your future.
