Welcome, I’m Sara.
I'm an art therapist, artist and creativity coach who loves helping people find calm and enhance their emotional wellbeing.
I also guide and mentor multi-passionate creative spirits to unlock and expand their creative expression and creativity.
Art is fun! Tapping into our mark making instincts opens the gateway to curiosity and play, allowing us to be in the moment and align ourselves with the same mindfulness skills that can help manage stress.
Art is powerful! I believe that when we engage with art, we can connect, reflect and heal ourselves so that we can move forward with confidence, courage and the freedom to express ourselves.
Kind words.
“Coaching has always been a hard gig for me. I can suffer from perfectionism delusions so opening my mind and soul to a coach tests the strength of my vulnerabilities. My inner voice goes something like this - What if I'm just daydreaming about what I want to do? What if I don't produce enough results? What if I don't say the right thing? It didn't occur to me that coaching could be a gentle exploration of how I want to feel about what I do. What I have found extra-ordinarily valuable about working with Sara, is that I was able to move through that negative chatter. That not once did it occur to me not to show up. Each time that I came to one of the coaching sessions feeling that I might not have produced enough "goodies", she simply redirected my perspective. Sara expanded my understanding of what a good coach is and how they can gently support forward motion. The beauty of working with Sara, is her ability to see the vulnerability of the creative soul. Sara allowed me to feel into the emotion of my blockages with dignity and challenged my self-judgements with those perception shifts. She allowed me to revisit and build on my excitement. To be playful and joyful about what I'm creating. I'm so excited about what I'm creating and the encouragement and support I have with Sara.”

“Coaching with Sara has set me up to take the next big steps both professionally and in education. Before I began working with Sara, I was unmotivated and disappointed in multiple areas of my life. Sara helped me find what sparked my motivation and empowered me to stay motivated throughout the course of the series. Every time I hit a mental road block, Sara was there to guide me down a different path. Sara's breadth and depth of knowledge and her ability to see a much larger picture inspired me but her ability to allow me to find the answers for myself without handing them to me really helped the most. The coaching series helped me overcome my own self sabotage tendencies and has taught me to be more confident. Above all Sara was kind and very easy to work with. I now have the confidence to move forward. The words thank you no longer express how grateful I am.”
