Her focus is on empowering you take charge of your health and make lasting changes for yourself, providing knowledge, support, and action-oriented strategies. She is able to offer support, accountability, collaboration, education, and resources as well as translate a medical practitioner’s plan of care into a plan of action. She is experienced in assisting with physical activity protocols, dietary changes, and food plans. Many coaching clients report improved quality of life, physical health improvements, improved emotional well-being, and feeling less stressed.
Sara is a believer in the functional medicine approach to managing health conditions as it is individualized, systems-based, treats the root causes (not just symptoms), and supports a preventative health mindset. Through her practice as a physical therapist, she has also observed the power of addressing root causes, often discussing lifestyle and behavioral factors as they relate to her patients' pain and dysfunction.
