Find Your Way Forward

A supportive journey for people at a crossroads seeking to connect with their truth, know what direction to take, and move forward without fear of judgment or getting it wrong.

When we are confused about a decision we need to make, talking things through with someone can really help us see ourselves more clearly and for clarity to emerge.

But the challenge can be finding that person. Someone who is willing to be fully present, to really hear us, and who can give us non-judgemental support. If that is what you know you need right now then I would love to be that person and support you in finding your way forward.

Find Your Way Forward was created to help you solve these challenges:

  • Your mind is a tangled mess of worrying thoughts about what direction you should be taking.

  • Feeling exhausted by your life. You know you want something different but don’t know how to get there.

  • Day to day life has you feeling negative and frustrated because you feel stuck where you don’t want to be.

  • Being torn between two or more options because your pros and cons list come out being equal.

  • Feeling pressure to make the “right” choice because of how that decision could impact on your future.

  • Continually putting off making any changes because of how that will impact others, what they might think, and the disappointment that may cause.

  • The same unresolved challenge cycling back around and causing you a lot of stress and anxiousness.

Through our work together we’ll be able to:

  • Get to the heart of why you are feeling so unsettled.

  • Take the pressure off and slow down enough to figure out what you want.

  • Make sense of your indecisiveness and sorting fact from fiction.

  • Tease everything apart to work with them on one at a time, while still understanding how they interconnect.

  • Separate your true thoughts and values from those your have picked up from others. 

  • Understand why something that seems right on paper just doesn’t feel right.

  • Learn to connect with yourself, to let go and listen to your own inner wisdom.

  • Narrow down your choices and feel confident about your next steps to take. 

  • Committing to a decision (for the right reasons) and seeing it through so you can get your life back on track.

How to gauge if we would work well together:

  • You realize that making choices based on your own inner guidance and ignoring everything else could be uncomfortable, but very worthwhile in the end.

  • You have time for an hour long coaching sessions every 1-2 weeks. They will take place online via zoom (video is optional).

  • You are willing to implement our work into your life. You will dedicate time between each call to implement 1-3 take away exercises.

  • You are ready to be encouraged to connect to the wisdom in your mind and body, so that you can make the choices that are best for you and create a life that truly feels like yours.

  • You could use some loving accountability. Someone who will hold to your commitments, without the pressure that often comes with deadlines and typical accountability.

You receive:

  • 6 x Personal coaching sessions (1st session is 1 hour & 15 minutes, additional calls are 60 minutes each)

  • Every call will be recorded and I’ll send overview notes after the call.

  • 1-3 take away exercises after each call so you can carry our work into your life and start seeing impacts right away. You’ve got to implement things to see change.

  • Access to me between calls for check ins as needed. Sometimes something comes up that just needs some attention right away. You won’t be held back by waiting until our next scheduled session.

  • You’ll end with tools and resources you’ll use for decades to come.

  • You’ll start connecting to your own wisdom. By paying attention to your body and mind, you’ll start to get clear about what you truly want.

Hi! I’m Sarah and I’m
excited to work with you.

I want to live in a world where deciding isn't overwhelming, everyone makes choices based on what brings themselves joy, and we don’t have any reason to second guess our decisions. I've been described as having strong heart, a clear vision and presence. My coaching has been characterized as being kind, supportive, bold, perceptive, and on point. I'm a certified Courageous Living Coach with a concentration in somatic coaching through the Courageous Living Coach Certification. This program is rooted in a holistic philosophy grounded in supporting clients where they’re at. When I'm not helping people navigate life’s choices, I'm working at a local environmental nonprofit here in Portland, Maine; walking with my pup; or enjoying Maine's coast.

Sarah has such a beautiful outlook on life and shares ideas that are so doable and simple! Her ideas never felt difficult. Instead, they melted into my day to day life in a way that just felt like they belonged there. While seamlessly fitting in, they made such a big difference that I felt I was able to move past my stuck feeling. Growing is hard work, but Sarah really brought a lot of simple ideas that made that growth feel easeful.

I decided to work with Sarah because I was living off the cuff and I felt off track. Sarah helped me sift through all my thoughts and this allowed me to realize how my choices and actions affect my life in the long term. Now, I set goals that are important to me and the life I want. I’m using tools to remind myself why I decided to set those goals and that has enabled me to stick with them. I’m more confident, I have a feeling of purpose, and I have the tools to accomplish the goals I’ve set.

During my sessions with Sarah, I felt truly listened to and heard. Sarah helped guide me out of my head - where I can get stuck in endless loops of self-judgement and indecision - and into what I felt in my body and my gut. From this place, I was able to tap into new and creative ways of looking at and approaching some challenges in my life and relationships. Working with Sarah helped me to hear my own inner wisdom and to create paths forward from this calm and grounded place. If you want to connect (or reconnect) with your own inner voice but aren’t quite sure how to do so, I highly recommend Sarah as a coach!

Working with Sarah has opened up connections inside me that I’d pretty much given up on. I brought such challenging topics to our sessions — things that I had almost resigned myself to never resolving. Sarah helped me to tap into a resource I hadn’t known I could: my body and inner wisdom. She is deeply caring, comforting and easy going, and I feel like she has a bottomless toolkit full of ways of thinking that help to clear away the cobwebs and create movement where there wasn’t any. I often leave our sessions more confident, grounded, and excited about the changes I could already feel myself beginning to make. As a result of coaching with Sarah, I now know that I can tune into my body (and myself) for answers when I’m feeling lost or stuck. She’s helped me see that I’m a practical, tangible place I can look to for insight, and that is such a gift.

What I appreciate about Sarah’s coaching is the inquisitive space she held for me to forge my own discoveries. Her gentle nature made looking at deeper issues in my life feel so much safer. During a few coaching sessions, we experimented with using the bodies wisdom through various exercises. I really loved this because it led to greater self-awareness and changing of old habits. If you are looking to get real with yourself and create change in your life, Sarah is the perfect person to lead you there.”
