Hi! I’m Sarah, a mom of 6 kids. Quite a few years ago, our family was seeking better ways to improve our health. We had noticed the kids complaining of frequent stomach aches and had too many sick days. My husband and I struggled with intense migraines at least monthly. We are an active family and love spending time outside doing sports and adventures.
We decided to involve the kids, clean up our kitchen and make better choices around meal times. The work it took to make the changes is paying off. Our kids don’t get sick as much, and my husband and I have almost completely eliminated our headaches and have more energy.
We are able to support each other in making better choices. We enjoy meals together made with whole plant foods. We are strong and able to do the things we love without poor health getting in the way!
As a Nutrition Coach, I can work with you to understand how to build nutritious meals that are satisfying for the whole family to enjoy together, while improving immune function, reducing weight gain and bringing more energy to your life. I help you incorporate healthy foods in a way that is simple, budget friendly and sustainable in order to reach your health goals. Your kitchen can be a place of nourishing and nurturing so you can enjoy your best quality of life.
I have recently completed some important nutrition certifications that have taught me how powerful food can be to prevent chronic disease risk, and have also finished my health and wellness coaching certification through AFPA.
I have my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education, teach cooking classes in our local middle school and YMCA, and am a certified Food For Life Instructor through the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine.

Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
You have the option of meeting weekly for 12 weeks, or every other week for about 6 months. Or combine the 2 according to how you feel you need the support from week to week. You will get a total of 12 coaching sessions.
Typically, each session is about 50 minutes.
The first week we will set up a wellness vision and subsequent weeks we will be setting 2-3 goals to work on, and talk about how they went and what didn't work well. We will celebrate the successes and work on overcoming barriers.
You have up until 24 hours before each session to change the time or day. If you do not show up for a session without notifying me, you will lose that session. I understand emergencies happen. We can work something out if there is truly an emergency.
