client Testimonials

Welcome to a collection of client appreciations organized around three themes:

You’ll notice a range of attribution styles in these testimonials and throughout the website. That’s intentional and is rooted in honoring my clients’ privacy and trust. Many of the high-level leaders I work with value confidentiality as a key part of our bond. For some, my coaching is their secret weapon—a competitive edge they prefer to keep under wraps! Even so, they generously share their experiences with limited attribution.

When you become my client, your privacy will be protected just as fiercely. It’s a privilege to do this work, and confidentiality/trust is foundational to everything we create together.

Transformational Growth
& Self-Discovery

  • "To say that my work with Sarah saved my life would not be an overstatement.

    I first met Sarah six months into a stage four cancer diagnosis with the average survival rate of one year. Mostly, I wanted her to help me prepare for death and all the emotions surrounding that. But our work together was truly transformative.

    Sarah helped me shift my perspective from resignation to hope. In one of our sessions, when I was particularly down and feeling weak, she invited me to think of myself as a Sherman tank—a little dented but still going strong.

    It’s hard to put into words how much working with her helped me to realize the strength of my mind and heart to overcome the cancer.  She helped me find an inner peace, too.  No matter what happened, those I loved and I would be alright.

    Three years later, the cancer that was supposed to be terminal is gone and I am forever grateful to Sarah for her guidance and wisdom through this journey.

    – Joanne Kim

  • "Being with Sarah is an experience overflowing with love and support.

    It is in the pauses though, the quiet interludes, when 'Sarah the seer' emerges and gently suggests new ways of feeling or thinking about a situation (or myself) that opens my inner being to possibilities."

    – Fran Sorin

  • “I feel more seen/heard more comprehensively when you are in the room.

  • "I told Sarah I was struggling to connect three key ideas, feeling stuck and frustrated.

    She instantly picked up on it and said, “You need to come up to the Farm and find some clarity.” The Farm? The thought of a three-hour drive through the scenic Carolina countryside was already a breath of fresh air.

    As I pulled into the driveway and took in the rustic charm of her farm, I knew I had stepped into a creative sanctuary. The healing power of nature, coupled with the soothing silence, melted away my frustration. I felt the clutter of data being swept from my mind, leaving space for the creativity I desperately needed.

    That afternoon, Sarah guided me through my tangled thoughts with an intuitive approach that made connections finally click. Surrounded by wildflowers, rocking chairs, the warm country kitchen, and the aroma of fresh coffee and homemade cookies, I felt a sense of serenity and renewal. It was an experience that defied explanation—something to be felt, absorbed, and cherished. And something for you to feel, absorb and cherish.

    - Joel Cohen, CEO Stars, Dreamland, USA

  • "Heartwood Farm is a truly magical and restorative haven.

    The gentle rustle of the breeze through the oak trees, the fireplace singing with a soft, crackling warmth, and the comforting creak of broad plank floors that hold a century of stories all invite you to slow down and embrace the power of each moment. It’s a place that allows you to reconnect with your best self. When combined with Sarah’s sharp insight and profound warmth, the experience is truly unparalleled. Heartwood Farm is a sanctuary for extraordinary work and personal transformation."
