Meet Sara      

          BSN RN NC-BC

With more than 32 years as a registered nurse, I’ve seen how quietly stress, anxiety, grief, and burnout can take root in a person’s life. I also know how overwhelming it feels to hold everything together while slowly losing parts of yourself in the process...I’ve been there too.

That’s why I created Growth & Gratitude Nurse Coaching — a space for people who are ready to breathe again, heal, and find their way back to themselves.

A Whole Person Approach:

My coaching blends decades of nursing experience with a deeply personal understanding of stress, burnout, and healing.

I don’t offer quick fixes. I walk with you as you:

  • Calm anxiety and overwhelm

  • Regulate your nervous system

  • Heal from past experiences

  • Break free from patterns that keep you stuck

  • Create a life that feels balanced and more aligned

Your healing begins when you feel seen, supported, and safe.

​What I Believe:

You are not broken — you’re overwhelmed.
Your nervous system is trying to protect you.
You deserve rest, joy, and connection.
Healing can be slow, gentle, and lasting.
You don’t have to do it alone.

​Rooted in Rural South Dakota:

I live in rural South Dakota with my husband on our ranch. We’ve raised three incredible kids (and many cattle), and somewhere between the wide-open spaces and quiet sunsets, I’ve learned that the most meaningful growth often begins with a small step and a deep, honest breath.
