Sarah's Story Backwards

Today Sarah lives life from a place of open transformation-
Transformative Living = Transformative Coaching!

Sarah’s passion in the area of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Mental and Emotional Release® (MER), and Hypnotherapy stems from her personal experience of physical self-healing and empowerment using these techniques. Making sure her clients feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported where they are at with compassion and love helps them to tap into their inner wisdom for their own SELF-HEALING and EMPOWERMENT.

Sarah helps clients clear mental clutter, reduce stress, and navigate life’s transitions with clarity and confidence. She customizes her approach to each person’s unique needs and goals to offer a truly holistic and transformative coaching experience.

Transition to Holistic Healing

Even though Sarah was successful in the corporate world, she felt a strong pull to create something new. This is when she started Vida de Wellness Spa and SLK Coaching. Having experienced years of chronic pain herself, she developed a deep passion for holistic healing and personal growth. This drive for self-improvement and deep healing led her to dive into studying Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mental & Emotional Release (MER)®, and Hypnotherapy with Dr. Matt James (Empowerment, Inc.). Now, a Certified Master Practitioner through AIP (Association of Integrated Psychology), she’s all about helping clients let go of their fears and limiting beliefs to unlock their full potential.

Corporate Background

Sarah kicked off her career at KPMG LLP, where she quickly rose up the corporate ladder. She brought her A-game to B&G Foods, Inc., stepping into the role of Senior Director of Corporate Strategy & Business Development. While there, Sarah was the mastermind behind more than 20 acquisitions and divestitures. Her role called for sharp strategic thinking, stellar communication, and a laser-focused dedication to excellence—all of which she now channels into her coaching practice with flair and finesse.

Working with Sarah has been an incredibly transformative journey for me. Over the past year, she has helped me find the tools to navigate through overthinking and self-induced anxiety, allowing me to grow into a more self-loving and secure individual. I can confidently say that I truly like myself now, which marks a significant shift in my self-perception. I've successfully moved through, and continue to strengthen, my self-doubt—not only regarding who I am but also about who I want to be in the future. What's particularly encouraging is recognizing that coaching with Sarah has been a shared learning experience. Knowing that she experiences similar ups and downs creates a sense of camaraderie that enriches our sessions. We learn from each other, which has been instrumental in my growth. Overall, Sarah has guided me with compassion and without judgment, providing a steady ground on which I can continue to build my confidence and resilience. I genuinely appreciate her supportive approach and highly recommend her coaching to anyone seeking to improve their self-awareness and personal growth.

Working with Sarah has been a major highlight in my personal growth and healing journey. As a working professional in the health and wellness field, I’ve done years of inner work. I've received trainings from master energy workers, worked with experienced psychologists, and practiced various healing modalities for years. Still, nothing quite compares to what I experienced in our breakthrough sessions. During our initial consult, Sarah gave me an overview of what the coaching process would look like. She helped me understand the intention, process, and potential outcomes from the training and guidance I would receive from her. I stepped into the coaching process expecting to receive similar insights from previous interventions I had tried, but hopeful that I would learn something new about myself. All this to say, the results I've experienced as a result of working with Sarah have gone above and beyond my expectations. Sarah’s mastery of NLP, paired with her deeply intuitive and intelligent approach to mental/emotional release work, created a powerful shift in me that continues to ripple into every area of my life. I believe what sets her apart as a facilitator and coach is the unique ability she has to create a space of profound safety. In that space, I was able to explore parts of myself I’d kept hidden, not because I didn’t want to see them, but simply because no one had helped me feel safe enough to look. Sarah never imposed solutions. Instead, she helped me arrive at insights that were uniquely my own. These insights have since impacted the way I lead, communicate, and make decisions in both my personal relationships and my professional world, aligning so many aspects of my life with who I authentically am. I have so much gratitude for how she's helped me. What I gained was far more than emotional relief or temporary clarity. I walked away with a renewed sense of confidence, sharper alignment with my values, and a clear internal framework for how to navigate both challenges and future successes, all while maintaining a stable, centered connection to myself. Sarah is a rare talent. Her work is powerful, precise, and deeply human. If you’re someone in leadership, navigating complexity, and looking for a breakthrough that touches every layer of your life, I cannot recommend her enough.
