About Sara

I’m a Health & Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer, and Imagery Coach specializing in the intersection of mental and physical fitness. A Boston Marathon Qualifier, two-time Ironman finisher, and half Ironman World Championship qualifier, I focus on building functional mental toughness by managing energy across mental, physical, and emotional domains. With certifications in running, endurance sports nutrition, and ultra-running, I help clients achieve bold goals and thrive in fitness and life.

Coaching Philosophy

Performance begins with the right mindset and is sustained through consistent action. My coaching philosophy centers on helping clients develop functional mental toughness by managing energy across mental, physical, and emotional domains. I believe that consistency is the foundation of long-term success, and I work with clients to create personalized strategies..
Every running plan I design includes strength training for injury prevention and improved performance. I also offer nutrition coaching to support energy management and endurance. As an Imagery Coach, I tackle the mental side of performance, helping clients harness focus, build resilience, and overcome challenges.
Whether you’re striving to set a personal best or seeking balance in a hectic schedule, my goal is to empower you with the tools, strategies, and support needed to thrive both mentally and physically.
