As a holistic nutrition and wellness coach, I work one-on-one with clients on a range of health concerns such as weight loss, emotional eating, blood sugar balance, and habit formation.
My programs are designed to provide clients with individualized attention based on their unique needs, concerns, and goals. I offer various levels of support, during which I work to empower clients with informative advice and instruction on how to make sustainable changes in order to achieve their vision of better health.
"One month into my new plan Sara developed for me and I feel the best I've felt in years-more energy and focus, improved mood, and I'm steadily losing weight I've frustratingly held onto for years."

The process starts with an initial consultation, which is simply a conversation so that I can better understand your health history and future goals.
"Sara has been an incredible coach, providing so many resources and explaining the science behind how our bodies process the foods we eat. Food is fun again. And I have more energy and mental clarity now than I ever had eating six times a day. I’ve never felt better and the hangry has gone away."

"During my three months of health coaching with Sara, I was able to reflect on my own health goals and really think about what I wanted out of my body. I now have a better understanding of what my body needs, and Sara gave me the guidance and support needed to reach my health goals!"

Program Phases
Introduction and Discovery Phase
Includes initial consult and at least the first month of your program. This is when I get to know you a bit better. We begin to peel back the layers of your daily routine, take a closer look at your nutrition, activity level, habits, tendencies and pinpoint those that might be hindering your progression towards better health.
Education Phase
My goal as your health coach is to educate – share information that will help you achieve your goals. I want to help you to understand why current habits aren’t working for you, and which ones you could adopt and integrate to serve you better. You will learn about ways in which you can take back control of your health, so you feel empowered to make lasting changes. Duration of phase is dependent on your individual needs, concerns and goals.
Integration Phase
With my accountability and support, you will be able to start incorporating what you learned in the education phase into your daily life.
For some individuals (based on your health concerns and goals), this is also known as the “crowding out” phase. Instead of thinking in terms of elimination (foods, habits), look at it from the perspective of adding in those healthier alternatives. Eventually, by taking those small steps towards your overall goal(s), those healthier habits start to replace the old, less beneficial ones, eventually “sticking” to become your new normal!
Duration of phase is dependent on your individual needs, concerns and goals.
Maintenance PhasE
This phase is all about building confidence. You will start to really notice the changes you have made and reap the benefits. It’s important to remember that one’s health journey is never a straight path; there could be some natural regressions to old behavior (we all have them!). It is my goal during this time to help keep your eyes on the prize and moving forward. To focus on those victories thus far, no matter how small. Duration of phase is dependent on your individual needs, concerns and goals. Here is also when we may also create a plan for follow-up support if needed, after your program ends.
