My Acceptance Journey
I truly believe God saw me struggling. I was aware my coping skills were being challenged but I felt helpless. It seemed the harder I tried to manage my life, nothing was working. I prayed for guidance and wisdom. An opportunity for a life coach presented itself to me. I have been in and out of counseling since 1991 but this was different!
My life before coaching—I was preoccupied with other adults and their troubles and I wanted to save and rescue. I felt stressed, was a couch potato, and dwelled on the difficulties of life. My mental health was a disaster, I felt overloaded, tired, frustrated, guilt, and had self-blame.
My Life After Coaching—I do not feel guilty in showing self-compassion. I feel empowered and now empower others. I have stronger and healthier relationships. I now set boundaries. I realize “it is not my fault”.
You’ll never regret this time spent working on and focusing on “Y O U” especially with someone who is as genuine as Sara❤️

My Anxiety is Gone!
My life before coaching—I always had anxiety. I was stressed. My life was going, going, going and I was so stressed on how/what was next. I was a smoker. Smoking consumed my life. I had a cough, crud, and was always clearing my throat. I was ‘winded’ due to the smoking.
My life after coaching—I am so much calmer. My anxiety is gone! I am a non-smoker. I do not have a cough, am not winded, and have more energy. I am more relaxed and have the mindset that ‘it will be okay’. I spend time reading for enjoyment. I am aware, recognize, respond rather than react. I have improved relationships. I do not have the rapid heartbeat stress like I used to. My nutrition has improved, and I eat whole real foods. I am more level and even keel. I am decreasing my anxiety medication with my doctor’s permission and plan to discontinue it. I am calmer in my classroom as well.

Change I Didn't Know I Needed!!
I first started this because my wife signed me up. I wasn't real thrilled at first and thought was this a waste of money . Then after about 4 sessions something clicked and everything started to change, my attitude, relationships, and just resting changed. I will say this was the best thing I've spent money on in a long time!!! Life is good now, when I was used to instability before, I truly have a peaceful and stable life, relationships, and am excited about the future !!!
Thank you Sara !!!

Welcome Back!
My life before coaching- I was very emotional, my emotions would build and build and then I would break down. It would take very little for me to blow and I was passive aggressive. I was so busy doing that I did not slow down to listen. I did not have boundaries between work and home life and no time limits. I had patience at work and none at home. I felt like I was on a rampage.
My life after coaching- I now have boundaries at work and at home. I respond rather than react. I am not triggered. I take time to acknowledge others and what they do. I coach my family members rather than tell them what to do. I delegate household tasks rather than think I need to do everything myself. I am much more aware and productive.
You can’t go wrong! Sara is there to help you where you're at and make the impossible possible...
Thank you!

Overcomer
My life before coaching—I relapsed hard with alcohol. I had relationship difficulties. I was not taking care of myself. I was angry; I would hold in my emotions and then fly off the handle. I was not making AA a priority and was trying to do it ‘my way’.
Life after coaching-- I am focusing on my spirituality and attending Bible Study and reading my Bible. I am even keel, my moods have stabilized, and I am less likely to get upset. I am mindful and taking pauses to respond rather than react. I am focused on my healing and prioritizing AA. I am helping others with their recovery. I know to not become complacent and too busy. I am more understanding of others and am excited about where I am on my journey. I have been sober for xxx days.

The Power to Be True to Yourself
My life before coaching-Frozen in negative energy, stuck and not knowing how to move forward, ‘forcing’ others to care and take an active interest, people pleasing, afraid to stand up for myself, needs, and desires, living with limiting beliefs
My life after coaching- I am confident, I know its okay to care for myself, I am able to let it or them go, I have a “that’s on them” mentality, I am aware of others, I am able to regain/maintain energy, I prioritize myself, I focus on what I am good at and care about, I am refreshed, I am able to put perspective on my thoughts and feelings, I have found positive resources for support, I prioritize ‘me time’
Thank you so much for working with me. I can honestly state I have never been asked so much about what I want or need.
Thank you!

I am Living With Purpose!
My life before coaching—I felt lost, barely paying the bills, did not like my current job, felt stuck, stagnant, no desire to do anything, in a rut, lost, made decisions based on emotion
My life after coaching—I now have the internal fire and drive, internal motivation, I enjoy life, I am living with purpose, I am happy, I have an end goal in mind, I am making decisions from a neutral head space and not based on emotion, I prioritize myself, I have peace, I give myself grace, recognize my limits, hold myself accountable, more realistic, finding fulfillment with a new career path, I view things from different perspectives, desire growth, I have gained a realistic expectation of who I am

Money Well Spent!
My life before coaching: I was going through the motions, not intentional, impulsive, had a big desire to change others, felt exhausted, my mind was always going about things I couldn’t change
My life after coaching: I now pause rather than react, I have set boundaries for myself, I can ‘let it go’, I feel authentic, I live with intention, I focus on myself and not others’ actions, I have awareness, I am happier, I am calmer
I really appreciate Sara’s genuine nature and non-judgmental approach. She is very easy to talk to and gives meaningful food for thought to help reach your full potential.
The biggest thing I received from working with Sara was the confidence in my own ability to further myself. Everyone needs “me time” and this is like a weekly standing date with yourself to further yourself in life and in relationships.
Thank you!

Peace of mind back
My life before coaching: I was a mess. I had so much anxiety even though I never recognized it. My blood pressure was elevated, and I would get the warm sensations when elevated. Triggered, tired, starved myself during the day, and felt heaviness in my shoulders.
My life after coaching: I have more energy (even in the afternoons). I am more authentic. I eat regular meals throughout the day. I am more toned, have much more peace, my anxiety is gone, and I can breathe my way through the triggers. I do not dwell on the negatives or use my energy on other’s negativity. I have more movement throughout the day. My shoulders have relaxed and I now listen to my body.
Everything we talked about was confidential. Working with you was awesome. I was so relaxed talking with you and I liked that there was no judgment.
I am able to be a peace now.
It was the best thing I did.

Life Changing Help I Didn't Know I Needed
My life before coaching: Chaotic, on a hamster wheel, going, going, going, and never pausing, no reset, short tempered, easily triggered, did not feel good, struggling and not able to help myself, reactive, not a very nice person
My life after coaching: I am cool, calm, and collected, I have improved communication and connection to others, I respond rather than react, I am much less likely to yell, I now take time to reset, I am more attuned to myself, I am able to share my thoughts and emotions with others, my mood is improved, I have awareness, my life is falling into place, I feel on track, I feel like “a different person”, I am happier, I value myself, I am now choosing myself, I am now living in alignment with my values, I have regained my energy
Working with Sara was amazing. During our sessions I felt like I could openly talk about anything and everything and there was never any judgement.
Thank you again for all your help with everything!

Life Altering!
My life before coaching-I felt lost, had difficulty communicating, I was short-tempered, had family situations would cause unrest inside of me, I wasn’t sleeping well or waking feeling rested, I would react
My life after coaching-I have a new job, I feel better physically and mentally, I have increased my movement, I have nutritional awareness and intention, I feel better overall, I am more clearheaded, I respond rather than react, I have an increased awareness about myself and how to handle situations, I am a better version of self, improved relationships, I now align life with my own values, I have set boundaries, I am feeling fulfilled
The experience has been just awesome. That’s the only way I can say it. I didn’t know right away how I was going to be able to open up. Sara is just so easy to talk to and really relates to about every situation/topic that was being brought up.
I’d just like to say thank you. There aren’t enough thank you’s I can express. This experience is just so eye-opening and makes a person feel whole.

I Can Finally Live Without the Constant Weight
My life before coaching—I felt tense, I was not aware, I felt conflicted, I was not living in authenticity, I was stressed and overwhelmed, made goals and felt defeated if I didn’t make them, felt avoidance, felt drained, constantly thinking “what do they think of me?”, I would retreat
My life after coaching—Feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, feel changes are sustainable, continue to set attainable goals, live with positivity, I am authentic, I continue to focus on growth, I am prioritizing myself, I am relaxed, I am confident, I advocate for myself
The thing I liked best about working with Sara was even though I knew her prior, I felt no judgement. The conversations were constantly easy, at my pace, and I constantly felt heard and supported.
You may feel like you have it all together and don’t need help, but coaching is something you don’t realize you need, until you get started.

From Overwhelmed to Empowered
From our very first session, Sara helped me feel understood and supported. Her compassionate guidance gave me the space to explore my emotions and identify the patterns that were holding me back. Working with her has been one of the most rewarding investments in myself, and I’m so grateful for the clarity and strength I’ve gained.
If you’re searching for someone who will truly listen, guide, and empower you, I can’t recommend Sara Johnson enough.

Walking out of a state of overwhelm...
From the first contact with Sara, she exhibits professionalism but also approachability. Her communication was always clear so you knew what was expected, and I greatly appreciated that. Sara seemed to easily facilitate the balance between listening, asking constructive questions and providing valuable insights. I was grateful for my time with her as I felt she truly cared and desired to see me living fully alive. Her smile, warm nature and attentiveness were comforting to a harried soul. Truly, my heart is filled with gratitude for Sara and her valuable wisdom and insight.

Free from overwhelming anxiety...
Having a non-judgmental approach from Coach Sara allowed me to open up and discover things that I didn't even know that I was struggling with. I would recommend Nurse Coach Sara to anyone who is seeking more in life and longing for fulfillment if they are struggling with not being content with where they are in life.
