I help you take the CREATIVE DREAMS that are LIVING inside you and help you craft them into reality.
“The tragedy of life is not death,
rather it is what we allow to die within us
while we live.”
Norman Cousins
Do you feel like you would love to dive into your creative practice, but you keep holding yourself back?
Do you keep having creative ideas, but then can’t seem to get started?
Or do you successfully dive in, but suddenly find your creative mojo has evaporated?
Do you sense that you could create something special, but then fear that you won’t live up to your high expectations?
Hi! I’m Sarah and I’m here to help.
So you can easily get started, day after day.
Help you uncover how you’re holding yourself back, and how to clear your way forward.
So you can commit to finishing a project that stretches you.
What creative idea is living inside you right now?
There’s a space right here for your book
There’s a space right here for your Series
It is a very personal and vulnerable thing to share creative ideas, especially for the first time, but Sarah gave me confidence to talk freely and patiently helped me understand which direction I wanted to take.
By talking to Sarah it made me realise that my dream of writing a book could become a reality so it was worth investing the time.
Sarah helped me to harness my desire to write in a productive way by setting realistic tasks. Each day I made more progress and could clearly see my ideas on paper.
It helped me see that my dream could become a reality.

Working with Sarah has been a transformative experience. Her encouragement pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, challenging my negative thought patterns and helping me see through the mental fog that was holding me back.
In just a few months, I’ve accomplished more than I had in the past few years.

I am creative myself, so I am very familiar with the creative process and, most importantly, what can get in our way.
I am drawn to many forms of expression, so I would often find myself becoming distracted, bouncing from one project to another.
Then I changed my creative practice: I committed to creating poetry for an extended period.
The commitment to keep returning to the same medium gave me the opportunity to gain confidence in my creative voice.
The weekly updates and sessions were fantastic. I would look forward to discussing my progress and showing my work which was met with great encouragement from Sarah.
I felt like I was finally doing something which I had been putting off for years and found allowing myself time to be creative was bringing joy to my life and inspiring me to develop my ideas further.
I felt very supported to develop my stories and Sarah listened very enthusiastically. She came up with practical suggestions to help me explore ways to execute my ideas.

As a coach Sarah is professional and proactive. When I expressed my desire for help in planning my new project she was quick to put together helpful tools which I used every one of!
Sarah is very validating and non-judgemental.
Sarah raised my awareness of my thinking, and beliefs, helping me to create good habits, and helped me to acknowledge when I was tangled in doubt.
I felt prompted and challenged to set and achieve specific tasks towards seeing my project come alive. I am now happy to say I’ve achieved my goal of making my project a reality.

Sarah’s warm and curious way of creative inquiry has helped me in several ways. She has helped me be easier on myself, so I can discover what I really want to be doing.
Sarah practices what she preaches – balancing periods of rest with productive sessions of creativity.
Sarah also has a really soothing voice. You will love talking to her, and being coached by her!
Martha Garvey Jr.
I was procrastinating on a small project I wanted to complete. I had been putting it off for weeks and within an hour of Sarah’s coaching I felt encouraged to get started. I started doing some practical exercises regularly.
I was very impressed with her encouragement and coaching technique. She helped me think through the practical steps of my routine and help me break it down with manageable steps. Her pragmatic approached helped me to overcome my resistance to trying something new, something I really wanted to make part of my daily life.
She also helped me see myself and my efforts in a much more positive way, which helped me feel more encouraged to follow through on what I wanted to do.

Talking with Sarah encouraged me to prioritise and get clarity on what I wanted to do.
The most important shift that Sarah help me with was in my thinking, to focus on taking the first small steps. This was instrumental in getting me started.
Sarah reflected back to me how well prepared I was and that helped me feel good about taking action.
The coaching she provided lead me to completing three separate projects. I completed them to a very good standard and most importantly, I was able to do them with very little stress.
Sarah’s ability to help me clarify the smaller steps, snowballed into very pleasing results. Working with Sarah helped completing my projects much easier, it even felt like a breeze doing them!
Francis B.
Sarah supported me with the start of a new creative project. She helped me get clear about my motivation, understand the blocks that were getting in my way and repeatedly supported my enthusiasm for the creative impulse.
Sarah is incredibly kind, insightful and gentle in her approach. She also gave me lots of resources, and encouragement to get started.
