“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

  • Navigating choice and transition

  • Releasing perfectionism

Retreats

Small, local retreats held in a beautiful space. Our retreats are for anyone looking to slow down, deepen into yourself, and be in aspace of connection and belonging with others.

“My biggest aha moment was realizing that my definition of success is different than what I've been taught to believe.”

Dr. Clare Prohaska, Academic Physician, Pulm Critical Care, Mother

“Through the coaching process with Sarah I was able to reframe my career goals and improve my job satisfaction.”

Physician leader, Academic Medicine, Family Practice

“Coaching with Sarah helped me realize that my communication style is simply different from others. This is a different concept than mistakenly blaming myself for being too demanding of others at my work.”

Private Practice Oncologist, Mother of 2
