Life Change + Leadership Coaching
for women who are serious about personal or professional evolution
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, stagnant, or overwhelmed. I know how it feels to wonder if maybe there should be more… more purpose, more joy, more financial abundance, more enthusiasm about the life we’re living. I’m also familiar with the craving to deepen my understanding of myself, other people, and the world around me… to elaborate on or go deeper in my relationship with those. It’s far too easy to settle into what’s familiar and comfy, to our own detriment. We’ve all done it. Sometimes we need another person to help us shake things up… to help us find clarity, gain some momentum, provide a different way to think about things, and hold us accountable for meaningful change. Someone who prioritizes authenticity and makes an effort to hear us, see us, and help us reestablish a connection with our core identity and all the badassery that is inherently within us.
Life Change + Leadership Coaching is not a passive process. It involves a great deal of initiative and intention on your part. But I promise to match your tenacious energy. Every client has unique experiences and needs, so our approach will never be “one-size-fits-all”. I will customize your process to help you overcome struggle, reduce reactivity, create transformation, and curate a life of alignment, creative innovation, calm, hope, excitement, motivation, and massive amounts of joy.
If you’ve never experienced the radically transformative power of IFS, buckle up, babe. Your life is about to get rocked! This isn’t your typical “life coaching”. I’ve been using the IFS methodology for more than a decade and have seen jaw-dropping life change in hundreds of clients. You’ll learn how to utilize IFS on your own in daily life, which makes it self-mobilizing and sustaining. As you do this work, you’ll discover and shift your relationship with parts of yourself that are ready to propel you like a rocket launcher toward your most thriving livelihood. I’m already so excited to work with you!
Dear Potential Client,
xoxo, Sara
I have been a client of Sara's for nearly 8 years. Her credibility and competency make it easy to feel comfortable working with her and trusting her guidance.
Over time, Sara has encouraged and taught me to make decisions that align my actions and choices with my priorities, which is not always the easy path. She has helped me find approaches and solutions that I feel comfortable trying and using going forward. The accountability and impact of the work I have done with Sara has led to a life that more authentically aligns with who I want to be - and one that allows me to find all of the joy in the ordinary and the moments that really matter.
She has helped me to grow in ways I didn't know possible - most certainly for the better. I am a stronger, clearer and more compassionate communicator. I am willing to stand up for myself. I also know that I am still kind and respectful while doing so. I am proud of who I have become.

What is IFS-based Coaching?
The area of service that Sara specializes in is IFS-based Coaching. IFS is an introspective exploratory methodology based on the concept of multiplicity of personality - the notion that the mind is naturally multiple, and that’s a good thing! It suggests that inside each of us, there is a system of sub-personalities, each with their own motives, fears, strengths, and histories of experience… and that these inner “parts” can be led by the “Self” (aka core identity), which is a source of ultimate inner wisdom that we all possess. IFS is a non-pathologizing, empirically-proven modality used in various areas of personal and professional development including psychotherapy, education, executive mentorship, legal mediation, leadership training, and somatic body work.
back
How many Coaching sessions are typically needed?
The frequency of sessions and duration of the Coaching experience is totally up to you! During your first session, Sara will help you begin to establish objectives. You may crush the first set of objectives then decide to establish new ones and continue the journey. Some of Sara’s clients stick with her for less than 10 sessions, whereas others have been working with her weekly, biweekly, or monthly for 10+ years.
back
Do Coaching sessions qualify for payment via FSA or HSA accounts?
Typically no. However, it's worth asking your provider. In certain situations, it may be applicable. If you have been assessed for and diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, for example, and your Coaching with Sara involves objectives of organization, time management, discovering effective methods of learning, establishing accommodations, etc., FSA or HSA accounts may be willing to partner with you for coverage.
back
Do you accept health insurance?
No. Coaching is not typically covered by health insurance. If you have a policy or if you work for an organization that provides professional development coverage or stipends, those benefits may be used. Just keep in mind, payment for Coaching services is due prior to the scheduled sessions.
back
Is Life Change + Leadership coaching the same thing as psychotherapy?
No. Because Sara holds her licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, aka Psychotherapist), it is especially important that you understand her Life Change + Leadership Coaching services are not the same as Psychotherapy, nor will she be serving you in the role of a Psychotherapist. You and Sara will not be working to address, reprocess, or desensitize trauma. If, during your Coaching experience, it is deemed that you may benefit from work with a mental health clinician, Sara is happy to provide you with some great referrals and resources. While there are many similarities and crossovers between Life Change + Leadership Coaching and Psychotherapy, Sara will communicate and hold clear boundaries in areas of your work that require a therapeutic approach and separate service provider. Legal ethics and statutes prohibit her from serving both roles.
back
Do I have to live in the State of Colorado in order to work with you?
Nope! Sara is based in Colorado, but she works with clients all over the country via video sessions.
back
What frequency of sessions do you recommend?
This is a question you and Sara will answer together during your Discovery Call or first session. Your session frequency will depend on your objectives. It’s different for everyone. It may also change throughout the course of your Coaching journey, based on your needs.
back
Is Sara going to tell me how to handle situations or give me advice?
No. Sara is not the expert on your life. YOU are. Her job is to help you identify and deconstruct anything (beliefs, behavior patterns, obstacles) that are standing in the way of your clarity, confidence, courage, and motivation. She will provide alternate perspectives and help you identify experiences in your life that seem to be blocking those things. And you’ll work together to equip you with the ability to overcome those strongholds. But YOU are the author of your story, and Sara believes you are ultimately equipped to navigate those parts of your life. She’s here to challenge, empower, motivate, and hold you accountable while stepping into the great honor of being along for the ride with you.

Let's Do This
IFS coaches are in high demand these days, but very few are formally trained in it. I received my training directly from the IFS Institute. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with more than 300 individual clients and have conducted 10,000+ client-facing hours. I’ve presented to and facilitated workshops and retreats with Fortune 500 companies, AmLaw 100 law firms, universities, school districts, and some of the biggest national retail and service providers in the country. I do my best work with clients and audiences who are highly motivated for change. I’ve loved working with a wide range of people and industries… everything from attorneys, medical professionals, finance folks, and c-level executives to entrepreneurs, artists, high-level athletes, and parents.
