Sara is a certified BodyBased Neurosomatic Alignment Coach who guides ambitious women back to their bodies so they can create the impact they're here to make. Canadian to the core and a small town girl at heart, she’s a self proclaimed growth nerd and has chosen fur babies over the traditional path and loves defying the roles society expects of her.

Her success journey began in the trenches of the oil and gas sector until she found her home in nonprofit. With over a decade of strategic work with charities, Sara has raised millions in funding and committed herself to helping organizations build the capacity they need for their missions to thrive. 

While immersed in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and nonprofit sector she has watched brilliant leaders sacrifice their well-being for their missions, operating on fumes while their nervous systems screamed for rest. Sara has lived this pattern herself, finding herself cripple under pressure and teetering on the edge of burnout. Then the pandemic arrived and a pivotal moment in Sara’s journey took place. Sara chose to walk away from her 9-5, trusting her body’s signals and seeking radical alignment. 

Now, as the founder of Circles of Impact and an international bestselling author of "Choosing Fulfillment is Scary AF," Sara is the living, breathing embodiment of what it means to choose alignment over expectation. Bridging the gap between strategy and somatics, she helps women tap into their body's wisdom to make choices that create both fulfillment and impact. 

Her philosophy is simple: alignment is not an idea; it’s a choice you make everyday. When you’re aligned, your nervous system is resourced, goals become clearer, boundaries become kinder, and you step into your own unique way of being. Through somatic attunement, design-informed decision-making, and values-led planning, she helps clients dissolve patterns of self-abandonment—trading exhaustion, performance and scattered energy for presence, power, and the revolutionary art of choosing oneself first.

Whether helping emerging entrepreneurs find their voice or seasoned nonprofit leaders reclaim their power, Sara brings her signature blend of warmth, wisdom, and practical spirituality to every interaction. She believes that when women stop abandoning themselves in service of others, they become unstoppable forces for change.

Sara's mission extends beyond individual transformation—she's committed to raising the frequency of leadership itself, creating ripple effects that transform families, communities, and ultimately, the world. Because when women choose themselves first, they don't just change their own lives; they model a new way of being that gives others permission to do the same.
