Hi, I’m Sarah - and I used to hate my body.
I know that’s not how most wellness coaches start their story. But if we’re going to work together, you deserve the truth from the beginning.
Five years ago, I was the person who meal-prepped on Sundays, hit the gym at 5 AM, and tracked every calorie. I looked healthy from the outside. Inside, I was exhausted, anxious, and constantly at war with myself.
I thought wellness meant perfection. I was wrong.
The Breaking Point
The moment everything changed happened on a Tuesday morning in my kitchen. I was standing over the sink, crying because I’d eaten two cookies instead of one. Actually crying. Over cookies.
I realized I’d spent so much time trying to optimize my body that I’d forgotten to live in it.
That day, I made a different choice. Instead of another restrictive diet or punishing workout, I decided to figure out what wellness actually meant - not what Instagram told me it should look like.
The Real Journey
What followed wasn’t a dramatic transformation montage. It was messy, slow, and full of setbacks. I had to unlearn years of diet culture programming. I had to rediscover what my body actually needed versus what I thought it should want.
I learned that sustainable wellness isn’t about perfection - it’s about integration. It’s not about following someone else’s blueprint - it’s about creating your own. Most importantly, I learned that the goal isn’t to fix yourself. The goal is to remember that you were never broken to begin with.
Why I Do This Work
I became a wellness coach because I wish someone had told me earlier: your worth isn’t measured by your workout streak or your meal choices. Wellness isn’t a destination you arrive at - it’s a relationship you cultivate with yourself.
After completing my certification through the International Coach Federation and training in intuitive eating principles, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 200 women who were tired of the same cycle I knew so well - the restricting, the guilt, the starting over every Monday.
My Approach
Here’s what you won’t find in our work together: meal plans that ignore your actual life, workout routines that leave you dreading exercise, or any version of “just have more willpower.”
Here’s what you will find: practical strategies that work with your schedule, not against it. Conversations about why you make the choices you make. Tools for building a sustainable relationship with food, movement, and rest.
We’ll talk about the stuff other wellness programs skip over - like why you eat differently when you’re stressed, how to exercise when you actually hate gyms, and what to do when healthy habits feel overwhelming instead of energizing.
What This Really Looks Like
My clients aren’t looking for another quick fix. They’re successful women who are tired of feeling like they’re failing at something as basic as taking care of themselves. They want to feel confident in their bodies without obsessing over them.
They want to eat well without complicated rules. They want to move their bodies in ways that feel good. They want to stop feeling guilty about rest and start seeing it as productive.
Most of all, they want to stop fighting themselves and start working with themselves.
Beyond the Coaching
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me experimenting with new recipes (some disasters, some discoveries), hiking with my dog Luna, or reading everything I can get my hands on about the psychology of behavior change.
I’m also probably drinking too much coffee and listening to true crime podcasts while doing yoga - because balance, right?
I live in Portland with my partner and our ridiculously photogenic golden retriever. I still do meal prep sometimes, but now it’s because I actually want to, not because I think I have to.
The Real Reason I Share This
I’m not telling you my story to position myself as someone who “overcame” something. I’m telling you because wellness is an ongoing practice, not a problem to be solved.
I still have days when I’m tired, when I eat too much pizza, when I skip workouts because I’m busy or unmotivated. The difference is that I no longer see these as failures. They’re just part of being human.
If you’re reading this because you’re tired of the all-or-nothing approach to wellness, if you want to feel at home in your body instead of constantly trying to change it, if you’re ready to build habits that actually stick - I’d love to talk.
Because the truth is, you don’t need another program. You need to remember what you already know about yourself, and learn to trust it.
