“The work I did with Sara has been life changing”

Lara’s story:

“From my initial contact with Sara I knew our time together was going to be transformational.

Not only is Sara warm and approachable but she is unbelievably knowledgeable in areas of finance and business which meant I was able to look at all areas of my financial wellbeing with a holistic approach knowing no stone would be left unturned.

The work I did with Sara has been life changing.

From my money mindset and financial management to understanding areas within my business, including processes that could be improved, I've been able to increase my income x 3(!) and now have a clear strategy for my future funds (investments, savings & pensions) whilst also making sure I have enough for a 'joy fund' :-)

Finally, I can enjoy money and look forward to opening up my spreadsheets!

Thank you Sara, I'm excited for what the future holds and for the first time I am clear on my financial expectations and goals.

I would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking to get clearer on their financial goals, improve their relationship with money or simply want to have a clear and realistic financial road map of where they want to go in their life.”

“I was in a dark hole and I felt truly helpless”

Nadine’s story:

“I was in a dark hole and I felt truly helpless. I was a success everywhere else in my life but couldn’t seem to work out why I couldn’t have the same success in my financial realm. The pandemic hit and I knew I needed some support.

I am severely dyspraxic which affects my executive functions but with the support and facilitation of Sara, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of my money patterns, my relationship to it and how to make friends with something I had found scary all my life!

Over six sessions we busted through my limiting beliefs, we helped me see my future, found me a great accountant and got me to trust and take full responsibility for my next financial development- no matter how scary or challenging it will be.

There is a long way to go and I am now on the road.

What gives me comfort is that I know deep in my heart that if I stumble along the way, I know I can count on Sara for another session to get me through and on to the next level.

What a jewel of a tool for my toolbox!

Thank you Sara for being my the lightsaber - this Jedi needed it. May the financial force be with you!”

Lucy Everett from Virtually Supported
 

“There really is no substitute for working though this stuff with an expert”

Lucy’s story:

When I started working with Sara I was feeling very stuck with my business, I knew something wasn’t working and was pretty sure my money mindset was at the root of that.

Over the last few years, since I started my business I have worked on my feelings and thoughts around money but have never quite cracked it.

I knew that working with a coach was the best way to navigate a path to a better relationship with money and I couldn’t have been happier with my experience working with Sara.

I was initially nervous and self conscious to lay myself bare in the financial sense! But Sara couldn’t have made this easier and more comfortable. Our sessions were like chatting to a friend; non-judgemental and so incredibly insightful and I learnt more during our time working together than I have in the last 3 years.

Sara approaches this work with the perfect combination of mindset work and practical support and this was exactly what I needed.

She helped me to visualise my financial goals and map out how to get there, and I also now have some super helpful templates to manage my business & personal cashflow which has made a huge difference to the way I manage my finances each month.

Since working together, I’ve established a joy fund (and I don’t feel guilty about spending it) and I feel completely different about making money and spending it too – I have complete clarity on my finances!

Thank you Sara for your support, guidance and compassion.

I’m so happy to have started this journey with you and can’t wait for some more coaching sessions soon to keep me on the right path. There really is no substitute for working though this stuff with an expert.

“I was delighted to see the transformation with the students”

Jaz’s story:

“Working with Sara is always a transformative experience, her years of experience, trusty tools, care and compassion make it easy to discuss a tough and sometimes boring subject.

After a 1:1 session I invited Sara to lead a workshop as part of my Side Hustle School. I was delighted to see the visible and physical transformation with each of the students, including those who were being challenged with the money-aspect of their ideas and businesses.

I noticed that the confidence of the group increased as we each reminded ourselves of the gems Sara shared.

Who knew talking about money in bright pink would be the thing to make strides in my own personal finances and those of my business!

Sara is the real deal!”

Edward Pike, founder of the Temple
 

“I had a little bit of trepidation to show the state of my bank accounts”

Ed’s story:

“After my first call with Sara I felt curious and excited to work with her. I had a little bit of trepidation to show the state of my bank accounts to someone else, however Sara was very open and non-judgmental, and immediately made me feel at ease.

After the first session I felt confident and already more connected with my money and with some clear steps to put into practice.

I love Sara’s manner which brings together the profound aspect of our relationship with money with a very practical approach.

After 4 or 5 sessions I feel very in tune with my money and the abundance of the world and my own inner value. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to reconnect with their money and have someone at their side to create more!”

Wealth Coach review by I Organise Manchester
 

“From that first apprehensive meeting I cannot believe how far I have come”

Christal’s story:

“Since working with Sara on the Wealthcoach intensive programme I honestly feel like a new woman!

I have clarity and confidence about where my business is heading. You have supported me to bring all my ideas together, create new ideas and have helped me formulate the action points to get things done.

Working with you has even supported me through having difficult conversations at home to better share the financial and home responsibilities.

There have been so many lightbulb moments working with you Sara, it has been like the illuminations switch on as the ideas keep coming!!! And the clarity this process has given me had enabled me to put my business ideas out there in a confident, unapologetic way.

I was drawn to work with you as your knowledge, positivity and enthusiasm shine through and have been contagious and inspiring.

But I still was very apprehensive and as I started working through the initial worksheets, I felt quite anxious, I have always felt awkward when it comes to money.

Sharing all my information also made me feel uncomfortable and a little embarrassed questioning how much I "should" be making. But the process we went through quickly put me at ease.

And after our first online call I felt I was in a safe space with you.

From that first apprehensive meeting I cannot believe how far I have come, THANK YOU!

I am so excited to work through my action plan and have already given myself the time to do this as I know it is going to pay off in the long term. Before working with you I let other things become the priority but with the clarity you have helped me achieve I know now what I must do. I am so much more focussed, aware of energy steelers and opportunities to take my business forward.

I have discovered so much out about myself, the work around my inner (critical) voice has been life changing.

And something that even several years of counselling hadn't got to the bottom of!

I like that you have encouraged me out of my comfort zone in a very supportive and fun way. And I loved doing the physical and mental walk through of my business development, even though I have never done anything like that before I knew I could trust you and really was buzzing by the end.

I am holding on to that energy and allowing it to help take me and my business forward.

I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wants to get their financial shit together and I have to say that this experience has been so much more than that.

You have helped me in so many aspects of my life and I really do feel like a much more confident and happier person for it.

WOW you are AMAZING!”

Wealth Coach review by Gemtakesfoodpics
 

“Honestly, it’s one of the best things I’ve spent my money on”

Gemma’s story:

“Ahead of signing up to Sara's 4 session Wealth Coach program, I was nervous as I have always struggled with numbers, accounting and anything to do with my business finances.

I felt like I had money, no debt and my business was growing but didn't actually know where my money was going, and how to keep track of everything.

I wanted to feel totally in control of my finances and knowledgeable about the money side of my business so that when tax submission came around, I didn't feel stressed or anxious.

Even from the first session, I felt that my knowledge was expanding.

I didn't feel ashamed to ask any questions, nothing was off limits and Sara was happy to answer all my questions in ways that were easy for me to understand as a creative person.

As we progressed in each session, I felt more and more in control and by our last one, I was ready to take the plunge on my own.

I feel much happier with my business finances now, smarter when it comes to money and taxes, and I understand all the things my accountant is doing, that before I didn't understand!

Although I dislike spreadsheets (my worst nightmare when there are numbers in them), Sara walked me as slowly as I needed to through her process.

I may not use it on an ongoing basis as it's still difficult for me to do things using spreadsheets, but it is a huge asset to have to keep myself in check if I need to.

I would definitely recommend ANYONE to Sara.

Honestly, it's one of the best things I have spent my money on and was long overdue. I wish I had found her sooner, so I could have been on top of everything earlier!”

Lauren Malone from Lemon Tree Coaching and Development
 

“I would highly recommend Sara as a wealth coach and as a workshop facilitator”

Lauren’s story:

I immediately felt at ease and inspired by Sara’s approach and knew how it aligned with my values and would be of great benefit to the members of my group The Bubble: the mindset and business growth centre for female entrepreneurs.

It was clear by watching the body language of the members who attended and listening to how they engaged with the workshop that Sara had had the same effect on them as she had on me.

I felt inspired to put Sara’s recommendations in to action and immediately (like actually before the workshop had ended!) implemented positive changes to how I allow money in and out of my life. I know other members of my group have done the same.

One member messaged to thank me because she had been empowered to have some conversations about money with her husband that she had been putting off and because she had new knowledge and resources the conversation was really positive.

I would highly recommend Sara as a wealth coach and as a workshop facilitator and I am excited to see the continued development my members take from this awesome, colourful and energetic session.

Katya Willems from Easyinstamcr.com
 

“I’ve now put my prices up!”

Katya’s story:

“I initially wondered if I needed any more financial support as I've been working with a financial planner, and I was already being coached by a business coach.

But it was so worth it!!!

You’ve changed my life for the better, and helped me overcome some difficult, messy and deeply entrenched attitudes and beliefs about money.

Yet the whole process was SO MUCH fun! I’ve felt optimistic, excited, happy, and energised after our sessions.

I’ve now put my prices up. My Special Sauce package has nearly doubled in price. Your encouragement, feedback and the visualisations definitely contributed to this.

The visualisation of what I wanted money to mean to me was so powerful. I realised that I help people by being very adventurous spirited and a role model. What a revelation that’s been. It really helped me to acknowledge and revel in my own power. It also validated that the more adventurous I am, the more positive ripples I can send out into the world.

The questions you posed about what value I was getting in situations were invaluable too. I'm better at assessing whether I'm giving too much in situations, or holding back a bit, and what I'm getting in return.”

Lauren Holmes from The Helvellyn Foundation
 

“Thank you, thank you, thank you”

Lauren’s story:

“I reached out to Sara in August 2021, as I wanted to upskill myself and gain confidence when it came to managing money.

I was nervous about asking stupid questions, and also about sharing details of my person situation, but these disappeared within a few minutes of chatting to Sara for the first time!

Initially, I wanted to tackle my lack of confidence around discussing and managing money. Sara provided emotional tools, like visualisation, as well as practical tools, like her fantastic EDGE spreadsheet.

After 3 sessions, I was already feeling more comfortable and in control.

After 4 months of working together, I reflected on my initial goals, and realised they had been achieved!

So, with Sara's guidance, I challenged myself to look into Impact Investing and find a starting point. With her experienced eye and thoughtful questioning, I have now made my first impact-focused investments.

To highlight some of the best features of working with Sara:

The money visualisation exercise, EDGE and Assets spreadsheet, demystifying information e.g. fund fact sheets, being held accountable for 'homework' tasks, and generally just having an knowledgeable and understanding ear.

I would absolutely recommend working with Sara to anyone - no matter where you are in your journey of understanding and managing money. Whether you have a big life change happening, or simply want to build knowledge and confidence, the Wealth Coach sessions are brilliant.

I just want to finish by saying thank you, thank you, thank you!

I feel so much more positive about my relationship with money, I am more in control of my money, and I am having a more positive impact on the planet.

I can't wait to continue on this journey, and check in with Sara along the way!”

“Exceeded any expectations”

Samantha’s story:

“I really didn't know what to expect from Sara, but the time I spent on the intensive course, I can honestly say, exceeded any expectations.

I learnt so much about my relationship with money (some of it uncomfortable, but helpful all the same!) and importantly, how to behave differently going forward.

Sara even helped me think about my business in a different light too, I'll definitely be back for some business coaching in the future”

“I needed someone to help me bite the bullet”

Jude’s story:

“I needed someone to help me bite the bullet and open pensions, change accounts and streamline what I needed to look at when it comes to my finances.

My only reservation beforehand was around information overload and not actually ticking things off.

By booking a block of sessions it gave me a deadline each week to actually get stuff done!

I would definitely recommend Sara to others and already have!

I enjoyed a little more of the business coaching alongside the financial advice too.”

Paul Courtney Clarke from Seeding Synthesis Coaching
 

“For the first time I’m enjoying the ‘dance’ of financial and business planning!”

Paul’s story:

“When I first met Sara I was facing a perfect storm of financial challenges in the middle of a pandemic compounded by a long-standing fear and lack of confidence in handling my own financial affairs.

Strangely I could handle much larger accounts in the projects and organisations I’ve worked for and run but with my own I'd always struggled.

From the moment I began working with Sara, I felt fully ‘met’ by her. I soon found myself able to share even my most ridiculous money mindsets, and the patterns of shame and desperation underlying them.

Sara’s matter of fact, non-judgemental attitude helped me trust her, and helped me trust myself to let go of my old, stuck stories and beliefs about myself and my money.

Having first listened deeply to my ‘story’ of scarcity and struggle, she invited me to look at my ‘wealth’ through a different lens, asking questions that shone a light on my actual and potential resources - which turned out to be much greater than I'd imagined!

I found myself laughing at how much of my worth and my potential worth I’d somehow filtered out.

As our sessions progressed, Sara helped me grow a new sense of confidence and clarity around my money and resources. At that time I faced a couple of financial setbacks which would have felt devastating only a few months earlier, but which I could now see in a perspective and navigate skilfully and positively.

For the first time I’m enjoying the ‘dance’ of financial and business planning. A life-changing shift!

If your relationship with money is confused and out of kilter in some way, and you would welcome a safe space to unlock your own capacity for change and realise your true wealth, Sara has the wisdom, insight and heart to help you achieve and sustain that shift.”

Wealth Coach review by Debra Paynter
 

“Money always feels like a bit of a scary subject”

Debra’s story:

“I didn’t really have any reservations ahead of attending your workshop as I’m in a pretty good place with money right now, but it always feels like a bit of a scary subject.

In the end I felt reassured, supported and more confident about my position. It was nice that other people shared their money stories in a safe place too.

I also felt compelled to share your account as so many women are in precarious positions with money, and they need to have access to support and education.

I loved the fun, non complicated way you explained everything, and how non judgemental you are.

The only thing I would change is to make the workshop longer so we could talk more, haha!

I would gladly recommend you to others. The event was fab, you’re fab and every woman should empower themselves in this area”

Wealth Coach review by Enterprise Marketing Manager Katy Gray
 

“I knew that I had the potential to be WAY better with my money”

Katy’s story:

“It seems really daunting (especially for me) to open up my finances to someone, but Sara's approach to the way she works with her clients meant that any reservations I had were quickly diminished.

Her approach is one of the things I love about her because she's positive, helpful, motivating and understanding.

Plus she has the ability to explain things (which I sometimes find complex and confusing) in the simplest way!

I did the 4 session Wealth Coach course with Sara as I ultimately knew that I had the potential to be WAY better with my money and I wanted to set myself up well in the future by saving and investing.

As someone who has always been a bit frivolous with money, this course has enabled me to get back on track and plan for the future with useful worksheets which I'm still using to this day, but more importantly, during the first sessions, Sara gets you to reflect on your "why".

The other thing which I found really helpful was simply being able to talk through my situation with an outsider who could help me come to my own conclusions based on gathering data and therefore making more calculated decisions.

Sara definitely has a wholesome approach to her coaching, and I will be booking more sessions once I've hit my next milestone.

I would certainly recommend the course.”

“If you’re thinking about letting someone else in, to see all the smelly bits of your purse or wallet, make it Sara”

Rebecca’s story:

“It has taken me a while to really think about this. By rights, this should have taken a lot longer than it did, to get me where I am. Instead of it taking a few years, with me making small, incremental changes as I went, which would have allowed me to ‘keep up’ emotionally, I’m sitting here with zero financial pressure (either from lack of money or knowing I have no control over my spending) for the first time in my adult life – I’m 44.

It's difficult to explain my relationship with money before Sara; if it had a colour, it would have been a dull grey.

Although money always manifested itself as pounds & pence, it was always more than that. It was a limiting factor that brought me from despair right through to guilt, hitting every negative emotion on the way. My dislike for money allowed me permission to treat it with disrespect and to permit myself minimum responsibility over it. If I could find a way out of the problem, it didn’t matter that I put myself in it, so I did, again & again, getting out each time by the skin of my teeth.

It took a lot to send that first email. Maybe part of me wanted someone unhelpful to reply, so I could hide behind that as an excuse to continue my self-sabotage.

That didn’t happen Sara replied, who only uses words when needed, my kind of guy!

I’ve never spoken to anyone about my money, which is super weird as I used to be a Finance Manager and as keen as mustard with company money! The irony. Anyway, Sara used some excellent techniques, all non offensive but some challenging, to get under the skin of my issues. I took away tasks from the calls, which supported the changes I needed to make re my perspective of money, and also gave an opportunity for real practical changes too. Sara helped me identify areas I was comfortable with, and I’d run with those until I felt I could extend my comfort zone, to encompass all of my financial wellbeing.

Do I still have debt? Yes I do. Do I have a management plan for that? Yes is do; I’m very comfortable with it and there’s no doubt in my mind that it will be repaid in full.

In some respects, this is possibly a comfort blanket, as alluded to in the top paragraph. This has happened quicker than I thought, I have enough in savings to pay that debt off, but it’s on 0% interest, so I decided to leave it chipping down. Instead, I’ll live in debt for a while longer, knowing it has no impact on me whatsoever, but also knowing that once that is gone, that’s it. After 17 years, I will be debt free (not including my mortgage!) and I will need to identify with a slightly different version of ‘me’. For that, I think my emotions need a bit of time, which is why I’m super happy with my decision.

If you’re thinking about letting someone else in, to see all the smelly bits of your purse / wallet, make it Sara, you won’t be disappointed.

I already know I’ll be going back to work with Sara again, because if I can travel this far in 10 months, I can’t wait to see where I can get in ten years.

I can’t thank Sara enough. I can’t say I fully understand what exactly happened, but I’m an ex drinker & the feeling is exactly the same. I used to not care about money, just like I used to drink a lot of red wine. Neither of those are part of my life anymore. I can’t bare the thought of alcohol, & if I’m not getting cash back or a minimum of 1% back, I aint buying it! As a parent, there was so much care & attention in some parts of my life but it was like I didn’t have enough energy to offer that same level of care to the rest of my life. I’ve found a way to do that now, and I’m so content. I can log on to my bank account for fun, which was unimaginable, only 10 months ago. I was so stuck in my ways and stubborn, if I can do it, anyone can.”

— REBECCA MACKENZIE

 

“To work with Sara is an amazing self investment. Do it!”

Louisa’s story:

“I sought out coaching with Sara at a time when I was wanting to reduce hours in my full time job to spend more time with my toddler, and couldn't see a way of doing this without it really impacting on our lifestyle.

I was also stressed generally about our handling of money, feeling as though our monthly outgoings were pretty much what we were bringing in and I felt trapped on a treadmill of living to work rather than working to live.

I'd found Sara online and immediately felt I wanted to work with her - her take on money seemed so fresh and her values reassured me that she was non-judgemental and person-centred in her approach. I fully assumed that coaching with Sara would entail her helping me find a budget that actually worked and inspiring me (somehow...) to stick to it. But it was so, so much more powerful than this. 

Sara has not only helped me feel far more in control of our family finances, but she has put me in touch with my true earning potential.

Beyond this, I can honestly say that through our work together my relationship to money has fundamentally changed and is far healthier than it has ever been.

She has helped shift my mindset and rather than the tightening up I'd anticipated this coaching would push me towards, Sara has helped me to see a way in which I can curate my work life balance to be how I'd like it to be. I always left our sessions feeling focused, optimistic and inspired. 

Although I completed a four session package with Sara, I will absolutely be booking her in the future for top up sessions. Working with her was nothing short of transformational and I cannot recommend her highly enough. To work with Sara is an amazing self investment. Do it!”

— LOUISA CLARKE

 

“I wanted to work with someone who I felt I could ask anything to”

Rosie’s story:

“The first thing that drew me to Sara was how approachable she is.

Whilst I like to think I'm good with numbers, I was never taught financial literacy and I wanted to work with someone who I felt I could ask anything to.

I knew it was time to think about how to plan properly for my future, for looking into and understanding all my options from pensions to investments for both me and my business.

The process is enlightening and informative, and the perfect balance between practical information and an emotional understanding between me and money.

I especially love that there is no pressure to scrimp and save - Sara puts just as much emphasis on using money for 'joy' - which has also re-directed how I'm spending my money.

I feel well informed, in control and the changes I've made now will have huge benefits in the long run.

Everyone should do this!”

“The wall planner really helped us to visualise our future and make real plans”

Lucy and Tom’s story:

“We just knew we needed to create time to talk about our finances together.

I wanted to have someone who understood all things money to facilitate that, but actually didn’t realise there was such a person - so it must have been fate when I met Sara on a Freshwalk.

Sara is very warm and welcoming which made us feel immediately at ease. We really looked forward to our sessions. Her approach is very flexible and patient, which meant we could adapt it to what suited us best at every stage of the process.

Working with Sara gave us clarity and focus to understand not only where we were and where we’d like to go, but also how to get there.

This made me feel more positive and reassured.

We followed her advice and guidance and made small changes, then took bigger steps towards our goals as we progressed.

In particular, the wall planner/timeline really helped us to visualise our future and make real plans, as well as keeping a note of goals and to-dos.

It goes without saying, Sara is very knowledgeable in all things finance too and helped with all our questions in a positive and neutral way.

The service she offers is perfect for anyone looking for guidance and to understand their own relationship with money better. I’d recommend working with her in a heartbeat.

(In fact I already have!)

We hope to work with her again in the future too.”

“One of the best things I have done for my confidence in my business”

S Jamieson’s story:

“Working with Sara has been one of the best things I have done for my sense of confidence in my business.

Although I was initially slightly nervous of taking about money, I have seen so many positive changes. I have now sorted out so many things that I had left hanging for months/years. The EDGE spreadsheet was one of the things I liked best.

I also always felt relaxed after our sessions. Sara is so welcoming but also really supportive.

Overall, having all my money in order has made me feel so empowered, not only financially but also generally, and on the right footing to start a business.

If you have any financial matters that you need help working through or money confidence issues, I would wholeheartedly recommend Sara.

Her knowledge on financial matters is amazing.

Combined with her powerful coaching tools and business strategy head, she is brilliant at helping you ensure your finances and mindset are supportive of your business strategy.”

— S JAMIESON

 

“It really has eased my mind”

Chloe’s story:

“I was unsure about how I would feel talking about myself, but from the outset Sara put me at ease.

She was completely non-judgemental and supportive, and professionally switched any negative views I had of myself or my ability to reach opportunities, to a sensible, realistic view. I felt positive after every session and clear on what it is that I am looking to achieve.

I'm now taking the time to manage my money better.

I use simple methods to stay on top my finances and don't avoid the conversation around it. I'm much more mature with my finances. I've got a path to achieve the lifestyle I want for me and my family.

The sessions drew out what I wanted and how I would get there. They also showed how far I'd come already to address issues I was coming against. The mindfulness was so powerful and I'm still able to draw on the images I had from this of my end goals. And the simplification of what in my mind had felt like completely out of my reach!

Thank you for your support Sara, it really has eased my mind, cleared it of hurdles and there are plans in place.”

— CHLOE

 

“My confidence around my finances has dramatically changed”

Jess’s story:

“I started working with Sara, as I wanted to have a better understanding of how to manage my money and how to invest it.

I was keen to work with someone who approached finances in a conscious way; who looked to empower me, by helping me to take control of my money, so that I can use it towards creating the life I want to live.

I was drawn to Sara's work after finding her online, as I resonated with her open and enthusiastic approach.

After our initial call, I decided to invest in the 4-session intensive course, which I have found invaluable.

Going into the first session I felt a little anxious and realised I had resistance to looking into my finances in detail. Sara immediately put my mind at ease, and the more I learnt, the more my anxiety dissipated.

Sara reminded me that anxiety can be transformed into confidence through knowledge and understanding, which comes from speaking to the right people; asking the right questions, and knowing what your options are.

This helped me to make informed decisions about how to use and invest my savings.

My favourite part about working with Sara, is her combination of practical financial advice and powerful visualisations, that helped me connect to the life I want to create.

Sara is great at holding space and has the ability to tease out key points that I was unconsciously avoiding. From my work with Sara, I now have both a clearer vision of the life I want to create, as well as detailed breakdown of my cashflow, assets and liabilities.

The set of practical tools and structures that Sara has given me, will help me maintain a detailed over view of my finances so that I can continue to make informed decisions, in creating the life I want to live.

I would highly recommend working with Sara.

My confidence, understanding and clarity around my finances have dramatically changed through our work together and I now have a clear action plan towards achieving my financial goals. I am very grateful for her open, supportive and encouraging approach and I look forward to working together more in the future.”

“It is very easy to get excited while working with Sara”

Andras’s story:

“I was working with Sara recently and I would like to share my gratitude to her and the coaching sessions we had.

She is such a passionate, vibrant and energising coach. It is very easy to get excited while working with her, a great motivator.

When we started her program I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to achieve, but as we progressed, following her guidance I got a clear picture and clarity. She has great complimentary tools to help visualise where I am today, where I want to be in a few years, and what steps I can take to get there.

I really liked her coaching approach: instead of telling me what to do, we had very engaging conversations.

She discovered my current financial knowledge and state and pointed out the areas where I can grow more awareness. I already had some investments and had started collecting different types of assets, but until now I felt like I was pretty much gambling and just trying out things.

With Sara's help I feel like I have a solid plan now and I am more mindful about how I use my capital.

After the sessions I decided to continue working with her to further increase my knowledge and utilise even more my financial tools.

I can highly recommend her to everyone who wants to learn, grow and of course willing to put in the work”

“It was easier than I thought it would be”

Emily and Sam’s story:

“My partner and I both really enjoyed our work with Sara. It surfaced things we'd been putting off talking about but knew we needed to think about.

Beforehand I felt slightly apprehensive as I know we both bring our own 'stuff' to discussions around money, but also pleased that we were going to have an open and structured conversation about it.

However, it was easier than I thought it would be and after our session I felt good. Having Sara there to reflect back and provide insight and guidance meant that it felt really easy! We communicated well.

We explored big topics and goals about the future as well as leaving with very tangible outcomes and actions which we can start immediately. It felt good to spend some time visualising our goal together and to see the synchronicities in how we felt about it.

We'd both highly recommend working with Sara, you will feel in very safe hands and we will definitely be working with her again!”

— EMILY AND SAM, London

 

“Freeing and liberating”

Samantha’s story:

“I have been working with Sara as a Wealth Coach for 4 months now. It has been enlightening to recognise the unconscious negativity bias towards money related matters that had been ingrained in me throughout my life so far.

I had initial reservations around financial coaching and goal setting as I had consciously altered my mindset so that money / financial status did not define success. Instead choosing awareness in the current moment rather than striving for the next material goal. I hadn't realised that in doing this I had created a negativity bias towards my interpretation of ‘wealth’ / money / finances which had caused me to bury my head in the sand / unable to see or deal with these matters without being overwhelmed.

Straight away just from the questionnaire Sara has developed, I was able to notice the overwhelming emotion, beliefs and narrative I had created around money that included shame, embarrassment and fear.

Then in our first session we discussed all of this in a kind, honest, open way and set some simple (yet initially scary for me) action points.

With Sara’s coaching I was able to rip off a plaster I had been hiding away from for the last 2 years. This felt freeing and liberating.

With further sessions I am able to have more of a clear perspective on where I am with regards to financial matters as well as personal, in fact I no longer separate the two as Sara has helped me to recognise it is all interwoven. I am excited to continue working with Sara, her passion for the work she has chosen to do to use her skills and experience to empower others is a gift and inspiring.”

“Sara is a joy to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her”

MH’s story:

“I chose to work with Sara as I wanted to gain clarity and knowledge around my personal and business finances and feel more empowered.

Before working with Sara this subject seemed vague, unclear and distant, quite like a foreign landscape...

What I most valued with our work is the support, kindness and Sara's genuine interest in finding out what I needed and how she could best assist me.

I love the mix of financial knowledge, insights and coaching which have given me an empowering overview of where I currently stand with my finances, discovering what my options are and a refreshing sense of choice in the matter.

I always feel inspired and fired up after my sessions with Sara and knowing I have a guide to walk by my side in this still unknown territory is a wonderful asset.

Sara is a joy to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who wants to gain clarity around their finances and become empowered in the matter.”

“I now have belief in myself”

Louise’s story:

“I started talking to Sara at a time when I had already decided to make a big change in my life, to re-train for a new career. But while I had an end vision I was lost with how I was going to get there and even if I could.

Right from my first session, Sara challenged me to think of my WHY and connected me to it.

I finally had focus. Over the following sessions we worked on my money blocks and empowered me to make sensible financial decisions.

Sara is different from other coaches, not only is she very knowledgeable but immediately you are relaxed with her style.

You get real outcomes that you can implement in your day to day life. It's not just talking through issues, but ideas and routines to put in place that help.

I now have belief in myself.”

— LOUISE, 39, in the Peak District

 

“A huge sense of clarity and confidence”

Hazel’s story:

“Sara at Wealth Coach helped me identify the changes I needed to make and in what order to do them, so that I could get myself on the right track for long term prosperity.

After our sessions, I felt a huge sense of clarity and confidence about my next steps towards my goals.

She also revealed so many simple ways to heal any areas I'd neglected by showing me some really quick fixes which took me no time at all to do; and would have a huge impact on me in the short and long term.

— HAZEL, 38, in Manchester

 

“I’d found myself struggling to move forward”

Allison’s story:

“When I met Sara, I was at the early stages of my business and found myself struggling to move forward with the planning.

Sara was able to recognise the stumbling blocks and in 2 sessions in a week, she was able to offer me the tools and the visualisation to move forward with the creativity, confidence and the foundations of a very exciting project.

I now have a very clear picture on what the next 5 years looks like for me as well as a company website, name, logo, legal and financials in place that I am extremely proud of.

I will be working with Sara for the foreseeable future - her support and knowledge is second to none.

Personal and professional, I will be recommending her services to friends and acquaintances alike.”

— ALLISON, 35, in Derbyshire

 

“I realised I shouldn’t be so hard on myself”

JD’s story:

“Ahead of working with Sara I was a bit worried about talking openly about money. I was also feeling the pressure of meeting the savings target I had set for myself to start up the business.

However after our sessions I felt empowered! And motivated to keep going.

I realised that I shouldn't be so hard on myself - I felt proud of what I had achieved so far. I also noticed the spending habits I had been ignoring before.

I really liked the the resources Sara shared. Having the cash flow separated in to sections (Growth, Joy etc) really helped me visualise where my money was going. I also really benefitted from our discussion about why it is that I want to save to go full time with my business and what kind of lifestyle I want.

I would 100% recommend working with Sara. She made me feel instantly at ease when talking about a subject that has made me uncomfortable chatting about in the past.

Thank you so much for your help!”

— JD in London
