Hi, I’M sarah.
Free spirit, wild outdoorsy soul and the very proud creator of Life More Wild.
In July 2022, after over a decade of corporate life, long hours, a career-change, pursuit of promotions and validation, cycles of burnout and endless soul-searching, I had my ‘ah-ha’ moment.
I was sat by an aquamarine lake, enveloped in rugged mountains, surrounded by some of the most exquisite natural beauty I’d ever experienced.
The ‘ah-ha’ moment wasn’t dramatic or loud. It wasn’t a sudden jolt of realisation. It was a quiet and subtle, but it was solid. A deep knowing in my gut that I was done. I didn’t have a plan, so much was uncertain, but that Monday morning I handed in my notice and I haven’t looked back since.
I ditched the 9-5, backed myself and went it alone. It’s been confronting, challenging and eye-opening and I wouldn’t change a moment. I’ve worked flexibly, rarely a 5 day week, from places across the UK and abroad, I’ve prioritised my health and developed personally and professionally in ways I could never have imagined; I’m an ICF Accredited Leadership & Life Coach and certified Holistic & Integrative Health practitioner.
At 32 I swapped corporate burnout, toxic workplaces and a lack of time and location freedom for a rollercoaster journey of self-employment and now, three years later I’m embarking on my next chapter, swapping London for my dream wild life in Scotland - closer to nature, surrounded by mountains with adventure on my doorstep. I’m excited, scared and everything in between. But I’m feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I won’t settle for tame.
I know what it feels like to feel stuck in a career that looks ‘successful’ on the outside, but doesn’t feel good on the inside. Coaching gave me the tools to rebuild my life and create career freedom and now I love every moment I get the privilege to help other women do the same. I believe work should support your life, not consume it and we all deserve the chance to design our own wild life.

MY EXPERIENCE
My professional and personal experience has informed the development of the unique Life More Wild coaching programme. I have invested in the highest quality training and development both in my conventional coaching practice and in holistic wellbeing. My experience with burnout drove me to explore health + wellbeing more comprehensively, leading me to discover an incredible qualification on Holistic & Integrative Health - the breadth and depth of knowledge I acquired has truly changed my life and I love weaving this into what I offer. My fifteen year career includes corporate hustle, career changes, an MD role managing a P&L and a team of 16 and starting my own business - all this enables me to guide clients on their professional journey whatever the next step is.
ICF ACCREDITED COACH
In 2022 I obtained a Diploma in Transformative Coaching, with Animas Centre for Coaching. This was one of the most pivotal experiences of my life. My diploma is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and European Mentoring & Coaching Council (ECMC). I continue to be a member of the UK ICF and adhere to their ethics guidelines and codes of conduct.
HOLISTIC & INTEGRATIVE WELLBEING
Work-life transformation demands more than psychological coaching frameworks. Burnout is a complex experience and true wellbeing is multidimensional. To take my coaching further, I spent a year studying health & wellbeing, completing a life-changing qualification with the Institutive of Integrative Nutrition (IIN) focused on ‘whole person’ health; physical, mental, emotional, social + spiritual.
BUSINESS CONSULTING & MENTORSHIP
I spent a decade working within the Retail, FMCG & Real Estate sectors designing business transformation programmes, shaping workplace strategy + delivering organisational change. I still work with organisations today and this professional experience is invaluable in guiding clients through career transitions or journeying to self-employment.
A LITTLE BIT OF MY WILD LIFE…
