What can one say about starting my self-journey and awakening while having the most patient and kind Health Coach, Sarah Travers, alongside me?
To begin with, I wasn't feeling and living life as I had used to. I felt like I was living, giving myself away, and losing the individual spark that made me ME! Now, understand, no one would ever know it on the outside; on the inside, I knew there was some work I had to do to get my navigational compass in check. I wanted to begin to put Ann, that's me, back together again. That is when I met Sarah!
We got to work! Breathing, goal setting, and deep reflection into my inner self made me aware that some of my thinking that I thought was me had to go. I learn through her to set boundaries for myself. Her challenging me was uncomfortable because she knew I had to become vulnerable, which was not easy for me.
I had to let go. Sarah got to know what made me tick and feel so at ease. She let me open up my thoughts and close off my negative thoughts about myself. She raised me to see that I am worthy of living MY LIFE and that I am enough. I tend to get geared up pretty fast, and through meditation and breathing exercises, I can self-regulate and get off the constantly spinning wheel of doubt and "What Ifs!" She is forever in my head to remind me that I am worthy, I don't have to live to make everyone happy, and most of all, I love myself and that I can obtain the life I want by taking a breath, meditating, and seeing and planning what I want and how much of myself am I going to give others without risking losing myself, my worth, and my inner peace. She made me go back so I could move forward. And you know what...She was beside me every step of the way in celebrating my victories and my weakest moments, and she still loved me anyway. She will improve your world, and I thank her and owe her so much!!! -Ann
“Owning and operating my own business full time, working 100% from home, and being a mother to two young children, each leave me with very little time and energy to focus on myself, my wellbeing, and my goals. I began working with Sarah at a time in my life where everything was so jumbled, as there is no real separation and boundary from work and home life. Having a coach who could help me better define, and more importantly, execute my goals as a business owner, wife, friend, and mom, set me up for better success during a very difficult year in my life. Sarah helped me realize that I cannot be my best self if I'm not taking care of myself. Though it's not perfect, nor will it ever be, there is now a healthier balance between my wellbeing (sleep, wellness, confidence, friends, finding time for me), my family (focused attention on my children, date nights with my husband), and my work (goal setting and clear, consistent work hours). I would recommend Sarah's coaching and support to any parent or any professional who struggles with finding a path to achieve goals and productive routines. She has helped make my ideal vision of my life, more of a reality.”
"When Sarah and I began coaching, I was looking toward to the next step in my career, which meant leaving the workplace I had been in for 10+ years. I thought coaching would assist me in organizing and tackling my “business to-dos,” but it was significantly more! Sarah took me to the core of my internal belief system and challenged me (gently and purposefully) to examine the areas in which I was holding myself back. I quickly learned to rely on Sarah and consult her in times of need—and she was always there!— but the greatest transformation occurred when I began to hear my OWN voice the loudest. That’s what coaching gave me: a connection to myself and a responsibility to myself to create the life I want and feel so passionate about. I look forward to re-upping my coaching with Sarah as soon as possible! She is using her gifts beautifully in her practice and was a tremendous gift to me." —Kendall Hill
"Sarah has so much insight and is very helpful in getting to the root of whatever you are going through. She has an innate understanding of when to push you and when to back off. She is a guiding hand to get your life moving in the right direction. I had such a wonderful talk with Sarah. It felt nice opening up about roadblocks that I was feeling and implementing concrete ways to move forward in a positive and productive way! All around, a great experience!"
"When Sarah and I started coaching, I was in the beginning stages of planning my business. I waffled every day between being incredibly excited about my idea and wondering what the heck I was getting myself into. Sarah was the voice of encouragement and reason during this process. Sarah guided me through the completion of my business plan. The most important thing that Sarah helped me realize is that the best way to get started is simply to START. I know it sounds silly, but I always struggled with that. I wanted everything perfectly lined up before pressing ‘go.’ I now know that is not the best way to achieve what you want! I would encourage anyone who is not used to following through with plans. There is zero shame in it, they just didn’t have an awesome coach on their team!"—Lizzy Wolff
"I had the privilege of working with Sarah in a 1:1 and group setting. Sarah helped guide me through an overwhelming time, being a new mom and moving states. I greatly appreciate Sarah's patience and availability. I have some fantastic new skills and tools to lean on in difficult situations because of Sarah and her breadth of knowledge. I am genuinely so grateful for Sarah's support. I recommend Sarah to anyone looking to grow their confidence and feel empowered." --Jaclyn Aguirre
“Working with Sarah helped me tune into my mind, body, and needs. I operated on autopilot and didn't slow down enough to know what I wanted to need. Early on in our sessions, one of my biggest takeaways was how saying yes or no felt, and I surprised myself to say that No felt really good. I likely have some people-pleaser tendencies, so once I was conscious, I was able to adjust and started to feel so much better. And not guilty! I made a terrifying 180-degree change in my life, and Sarah was there every step of the way. She helped me work through my deepest fears and make plans to overcome them. Sarah's coaching helped me become happier, more confident, and more relaxed. I was going through the motions of life somewhat directionless before working with Sarah. “
