Our true nature is at first a mystery to our everyday mind. To recover our inmost secrets we must venture into the inner /outer wilderness where we shall find out essential nature waiting for us.”

Bill Plotkin SoulCraft

My mission and values are to support myself and others to explore and understand:

  • the inner and outer terrain of being human here on Earth,
  • how our human nature and the nature on earth are interconnected,
  • how we can learn from and heal in nature to come home to our Wise Self (essence, soul, spirit) with the qualities of curiousity, compassion, courage, creativity, connection, calm, clarity and confidence.
  • How we can cultivate these ‘C’ qualities above within our Wise Self to heal ourselves, heal others and heal Earth.

the goal of life is to match your heartbeat with the beat of the Universe, to match your nature with nature.”

Joseph Campbell

Life Coaching

There is a time in life when it’s easy to lose yourself. When you’re so busy trying to be a great parent, a loving spouse or a strong single parent, a good friend and family member. When you’re trying to have a healthy body, pay the bills and meet the emotional needs of your children. You’ve got high standards. And you are so, so busy. On top of being a loving family member, you want to see your personal goals come to fruition (and enjoy your life, too!). But you feel like there’s no time. Trust me, I’ve been there. And I know there’s a way to love your life during this busy time.


Are you ready to be supported to live a life of your choosing? I’m a mindfulness-based life coach and mindset coach and my style is based on ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Training) principles, neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and solution focussed life-coaching as well as evidence-based strategies.

Most importantly, I’m your coach. 

Together, we’ll work through whatever your present challenges are and identify your deepest intention. This could be more time, money, fulfilling work or a more positive relationship with your child, spouse or family member. Or something else. Or many things. There are no rules. During the session we will access your innate wisdom and shift your mindset, allowing you to let go of what no longer serves. We’ll create healthy habits and a step-by-step plan for achieving your goals. I will teach you effective life skills that help you to accept what you cannot change and commit to changing what you can! We will identify and use strategies you can use when old habits/patterns kick in.


I am your mindful communication coach, teaching you effective communication skills to use at home and at work. I am your relationships coach supporting you to build strong connections with your loved ones and work colleagues. I am your personal development coach supporting you to grow and find the courage to take the next step that your heart is calling you to take! And if relevant to you I am your parent coach with real, practical and easy to use parenting strategies and insights into why your child behaves the way s/he does.


Coaching with mindfulness brings about quick, effective and deep change. Be prepared to thrive!

Testimonials:

‘My session with Sara was an absolute delight. In the space of one hour we had found simple strategies to set boundaries around what is most important to me. What had seemed daunting and impossible before, suddenly became clear and do-able after speaking to Sara. I think the best part of the session was Sara’s presence and skill as a listener. I felt like she really ‘got’ me, and the tools and techniques she taught me are well suited to my life. So uplifting and nurturing! Thanks Sara’. – Geordie, mum of two”I have been feeling and traveling so much lighter, free-er, kinder and gentler since our last session which is such a relief and respite from where I’ve been lately. The hugest insight to me was that I actually have to put what I know into practice if I want to be that future version of myself….it is no longer negotiable if I take a moment to fill my cup or not if I truly want to shine and thrive…..which I do.” Michelle Mum of 4

I picked up some great stuff from you & have been putting lots into practice…. I keep going back to my doodle sheet to remember things & even sat down w Z yesterday to create & brainstorm a Fun Family Things/Outings/to do jobs list. She loved it! I bought one of those journals – cheers for recommending it. Am looking forward to the hours I’ll spend with it! Writing up my goal & vision will be the first thing I do.I’m really slowing everything down & trying to be mindful to ‘live in the moment’. Think I’ve been living in overdrive for so long.

Testimonials:

‘Thanks Sara for your awesome Skype coaching session today. It was great to be able to talk through the issues my daughter is having at school and I am so thankful that we have created a list of achievable actions I can take to help her work through this phase of her life. Thanks again Cilla xx’ Cilla Mum of 2  Perth via skype

“My baby was 11 months old and I was feeling restless and stuck in a mediocre mindframe so I contacted Sara. I knew there was something more I needed to be doing… but what?After my session with Sara, I had a clear vision of where I wanted to be in 1-2 years. I had a list of tasks and actions to break the overall dream down into manageable, bite sixed pieces. Small steps that didn’t freak me out at the enormity, but that were achievable.Its two weeks later and I have the beginning of a new business and have an event in the pipeline. I may not be at the end point to my overall vision, but I am one step closer to it and feeling happy and fulfilled in my life now.I could not have got to this point without Sara’s gentle guidance and steering me toward the path I needed to follow. Thank you Sara.” Clare Mum of 1
