Hi! I’m Sara. I’m a non diet health & wellness coach.

I specialise in coaching women to achieve their health goals without dieting. I won’t weigh you, measure you or tell you to count calories. I won’t make you do a crazy workout plan (unless you want to!).

I want to help you heal your relationship with food, movement and body image. We can rebuild it with body acceptance and self-love being your strong foundation.

Are you ready to be free from diet culture?

If any of this resonates then coaching might be for you…

You struggle with negative body image and feel pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards.
You are tired of being on an endless cycle of restrictive diets that never work.
You feel unsupported in your journey and need a helping hand.
You are overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting information about how to be healthy.
You want to love yourself but just don’t know how.

If any of that brings up some feelings for you, then we should chat. My passion is helping people like you to feel good around food, find movement they enjoy and love themselves. Regardless of how difficult this may seem, there is a way to do this.

You are the driver of this journey, I can be the navigator.

What would a non diet lifestyle look like?

Embrace and honour your unique body, letting go of societal standards. Celebrate its strength, focus on self love, and practice self kindness. Body acceptance fosters confidence, well-being, and healthier relationships.

Allow all food, challenge diet culture, embrace intuitive eating by tuning into your body's cues. Move beyond restrictive diets, enjoy mindful nourishment, and make satisfying choices without guilt. Foster a lasting, positive bond with food.

Engage in mindful movement that resonates with you, prioritising well-being over calorie burn. It's about connecting with your body, enhancing strength, and uplifting your mood. This approach fosters a sustainable, joyful exercise routine that supports both physical and mental health.

Prioritise emotional well-being through mindfulness, self-care, and stress management. By nurturing your mental health, you foster resilience and enhance overall wellness, paving the way for a balanced, fulfilling life.

Adopt balanced lifestyle habits for lasting well-being. Embrace nourishing foods, active living, quality sleep, and self-care. Swap the extremes for enjoyable, value-aligned habits, fostering a sustainable and positive lifestyle.

Adopt a growth mindset and prioritise self-care for holistic well-being. See challenges as learning opportunities, practice self-compassion, and engage in rituals that nurture your mind and emotions. This approach empowers resilience and flourishing in life.

How do we get there?

Coaching is not prescriptive and is always 100% client-led - as your coach, I am there to ask questions, hold space and allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Some questions might feel uncomfortable and some will ask you to explore your future. Occasionally, with your permission, I may step in as your mentor. Rest assured, you are in control - you will set your own goals, you will come up with the strategies, we explore them together and I will provide you with the support to create lasting habits.

Actual Coaching - We will meet via online video chat or over the telephone, this where we really drill down into the things that are most important to you.

Check-Ins - If you choose the Dream Team Package, you will have access to me between meetings via a weekly written check-in so you can bring up any burning questions.

Homework - I will give you homework to help you explore some of the topics we cover - this might include reading, journalling, listening to podcasts, watching videos, trying meditation and completing workbooks. Please remember that there will be work for you to do outside of our sessions - it takes time and dedication to create lasting change.

Who will be my coach?

Hi! I’m Sara!

I have spent my whole life collecting experiences and qualifications to enable me to be the best coach for you on this journey.

Qualifications, you ask? I’m a certified nutrition, health & wellness coach who specialises in the non diet approach and women’s health. I’m a Level 3 personal trainer who trains women to be strong in both 1-on-1 and group settings. I also worked for years in food as a trained pastry chef so I’m good at meal planning and recipe creation.

I also have a wealth of personal experiences that will help me relate to you in a unique way. I lost my Mum at 24, struggled through years of grief, I’ve had problems with disordered eating and excessive exercise, drastic weight loss, inevitable weight gain, anxiety, depression, fertility treatment, miscarriage, big job changes and all the good stuff in between.

FAQs in case you have any more questions

I found Sara warm and welcoming, I felt safe and encouraged to speak freely about what I wanted help with. I felt listened to and I found the initial exercise we did really insightful and positive. I'm feeling really hopeful about what I can achieve next. Sara was well prepared for the session and guided me really well, answering any questions I had in a really calming way. Sara made me feel empowered to help myself and work towards my goals. I would recommend Lift Yourself Coaching to anyone wanting to feel emboldened and ready to get the best out of life.

Marianne
Sara was very professional. She asked poignant questions and really dug down into the causes of my stress. I was a bit apprehensive initially as I have never had any personal coaching but after the sessions I felt very positive and calm about the subject we talked about. I would definitely recommend her services to others.

Richard
From the moment I met her, she was positive and supportive of my needs. Throughout my time with Sara, I’ve found that she coaches with patience, humour and a huge amount of expertise. I feel very safe in her hands and the improvement in my overall fitness and health is obvious to both myself and my friends and family. I really look forward to my twice weekly sessions with her, always feeling better when I leave than when I arrive. I cannot recommend Sara enough, she’s a thoroughly competent coach and trainer.

Gail
Sara is welcoming, friendly and professional. She listens to what I want to achieve, and plans varied and fun sessions. Sara is positive and supportive, and focuses on what my body can do, knowing when to push and when to adapt if necessary. She is highly skilled and knowledgeable. I can feel the progress I have made in terms of strength and endurance, and also in terms of a healthy rather than punishing mindset. I can’t recommend Sara highly enough.
