The SAGE Story
SAGE exists to help you integrate all parts of who you are. We believe the answers you are searching for are rarely found by becoming someone new. They are uncovered by remembering who you were before fear, expectation, achievement, and survival pulled you away from yourself. Together we rebuild a life that feels deeply aligned and wholly integrated from the inside out.
SAGE began as an intuitive calling, not as a business plan. My healing journey led me to discover my passion for mental and emotional wellbeing. For years I gobbled up self-help books, podcasts, and worked with a therapist and coach of my own. What struck me the most was the way I could relate to the words of a complete stranger, with feelings I had never expressed to anyone, not even myself. I learned quickly we all fall into similar traps and patterns of protection that can easily take the steering wheel and lead us down a road we never intended to go down.
Hearing stories of others helped me feel less alone and the knowledge I learned along the way helped me grow into a more grounded, centered, and empowered version of me. I often wondered, "why isn't this knowledge commonly available?" and "why aren't mindfulness and somatic practices taught at a younger age?" I found purpose in my desire to share my story and lessons learned with others. Eventually I found my way to coaching and teaching yoga and SAGE Coaching and Wellness was born.
As I reflected on my own journey, I realized there was a clear path woven through it. The principles that helped me reconnect with myself became the foundation of the SAGE Method: Surrender, Align, Grow, Empower. These four principles guide our work together, helping clients navigate change with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.
-
SURRENDER
Surrender begins as a daily practice and a launching point for change. It helps us create space for honesty, and let go of the expectations, stories, and identities that no longer serve us.
-
ALIGN
We dig deep to reconnect with your values and intuition so you can align your actions with the most authentic version of you.
-
GROW
Growth ensues from the new foundations formed out of surrender and alignment. The strengthened roots you have grown help you build new habits, perspectives, and emotional resilience. Goals are surpassed at a quicker pace with intentional, aligned action.
-
EMPOWER
Confidence develops naturally, along with self trust to help you navigate life's challenges without abandoning core parts of yourself. By living from authenticity, you are empowered to create deeper relationships, more meaningful work, and a life that reflects who you truly are.
Before becoming a coach, I spent nearly two decades in commercial real estate helping clients navigate complex negotiations and life-changing decisions.
I love the fast pace, strategic approach, community impact, and focus on relationships. But my own healing journey has asked me to integrate more parts of me into how I show up every day. That integration has led to some life changing opportunities. Today I'm building my coaching and wellness business alongside my real estate career. I'm a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), and Registered Yoga Teacher. I combine evidence based coaching, mindfulness, nervous system awareness, and practical life experience to help clients reconnect with themselves and build lives rooted in authenticity rather than expectation.
When I'm not coaching or working real estate, you'll find me traveling, writing, hanging with my son and pup, teaching yoga, playing golf, spending time on the lake with my family, or planning my next adventure.
