Life & Love and Relationship Wellbeing

Sarah gets to the heart of the problem and is passionate about empowering people to consciously create, learn, heal, grow, succeed, laugh and celebrate their life and love. Her mission is to heal the world – heart, mind, body and soul – and inspire people to live an authentically heart-led life. Sarah assists people to transition from a fear-based life to love-based living by helping them to love themselves, their work, their bodies, their family, their spouse, their community and the planet.

The journey through Life & Love is a constant series of changes and transitions. Sarah specialises in coaching people through the full spectrum of life & love events – birth, puberty, education, career, dating, parenthood, marriage, divorce, midlife and even death.

Marriage & Relationship Therapy  – Specialising in the Gottman Couples Institute Method. Sarah has been working with couples for more than 12 years with a high rate of success – (although couples therapy works best the sooner a couple experiencing challenge and strain can get help before things escalate beyond repair). Couples therapy, whilst it can be a significant time and financial investment, in the long term, offers a more sustainable, affordable and viable alternative to the trauma, loss and disruption caused through separation and divorce.

Sarah has produced a companion online course resource for her therapy couples call “Creating a Miracle Marriage”. The course offers a unique and comprehensive relationship coaching that goes both deep and practical with all video tutorials delivered personally by Sarah. These teachings are based on Sarah’s lived, loved and proven Miracle Marriage method, outlined in her eBook, Miracle Marriage Manifesto, and underpinned by her training in Gottman Institute Couples Therapy.

Divorce Support, Separation Coaching and Co-Parenting Mediation – Assisting couples to “consciously uncouple’ – parting with awareness, grace and intact – and help to continue to transform ongoing parenting relationships into mutually respectful working relationships.

End-of-Life, Grief and Loss Coaching – Supporting individuals and families with difficult changes and losses – from relationships ending, personal or professional losses and changes, changes in health, diagnosis of a serious or life threatening illness, loss of health, dying and death.

Sarah has produced a FREE 4X video series call “Landscapes of Life & Love and Loss – Traversing the pathway of dying, death and grief”. This series offers FREE 4 x video discussing how to begin the conversation about death – why we need to think about death; how to prepare for death; how to manage the shock of death; how to caretake the grieving; and how to integrate death into life & love. A FREE downloadable handbook is also provided to help you.

Parenting/Family Coaching – Preparation for the transition to parenting and growing your family and the fears/limiting decisions that can hamper a smooth transition from both a personal, emotional, physical, career and relational perspective.

Emotional Wellness & Lifestyle Coaching – Tending to the Body, Mind & Spirit – It is all connected. Whatever gets uncovered in our sessions it all begins with the mind. NLP Coaching can help with your health – weight issues, smoking, and many dis-ease; Your state of wellbeing – anxiety, phobias, compulsions, depression, fears; and all your health, mind and body habits and beliefs.

Sarah has a companion online course that supports her face2face coaching – “How Do You Feel? – Using the intelligence of our emotions to heal and be whole in Life & Love”.

Career Coaching – Provides a holistic approach to transitioning through career crossroads, challenges and conflicts; and providing guidance and motivation to uncover and live your life purpose. As we grow through life & love our career motivations and challenges change too and are often are rooted in deeper issues and intertwined with the wider aspects of our lives.
