Personal Transformation Leads to Professional Growth

Sara’s clarity, presence, and ability to build trust with her direct, truth-telling style creates an environment in which clients can speak openly and receive feedback and perspective they likely wouldn’t hear – or be able to absorb – from anyone else. 

Clients thrive both professionally and personally.

Their work often begins in the context of their job, yet under Sara’s skillful guidance, clients notice growth in all areas – home life, relationships, spirituality and emotional development. Overall, stress gives way to energy, foggy thinking shifts to clarity, and interactions with others improve. Most importantly, clients report soul-level growth as they gain a deeper sense of connection to their natural state of presence.

 Sara’s Background and Education

In 2002, Sara left her decade-long career focused in Leadership Development for several technology and communications firms. During her role as an internal consultant and coach, she earned her frequent flyer gold status on dozens of trips to work with more than 5,000 leaders in places as far-flung as London, Lubbock, Seoul and St. Paul. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communications and a master’s degree in Organizational Management.

Intuitive Skills Started Young

Growing up in Spokane, WA, Sara was exposed to conversations about business over the dinner table. When she was 12, she got to spend a weekend learning from self-development guru Lou Tice. As a teenager, Sara regularly observed leadership team meetings held by her father, who was president of a mid-sized public company. Even then, Sara made observations about people’s behavior in the group, revealing a keen ability to tune into unspoken dynamics. It felt natural to Sara to be in a room with leaders and to see their humanity beyond their title. 

The Making of a Meaningful Life

Today, dedicated to the same level of growth she asks of clients, Sara’s life is marked by depth, meaning and joy. She has intensively worked with several teachers exploring the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of working with her own unconscious conditioning and patterns. Remaining dedicated to her own journey first, she is able to act as a bridge between the physical and esoteric worlds. 

She married her husband Jesse in 1998 and has two teenaged sons. In addition, Gus, their high maintenance mini-Golden-Doodle, most definitely has her heart. She is passionate about movement and sound because both remind her there’s a distinct rhythm and flow to life.
