About

Hi I'm Sarah and my work is all about a desire to ensure all LGBTQ+ people live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives.

I’m a transformational life coach for LGBTQ+ trailblazers, changemakers and leaders.

I’m also the founder of Proud Wellness CIC www.proudwellness.com. We’re a non-profit social enterprise on a mission to advance equality and inclusion in wellness services for LGBTQ+ people and wellness professionals.

My professional career spans over 25 years in senior HR and leadership roles at some of the biggest corporate organisations in the UK.

Five years ago I created my coaching and training business and started to build the most incredible community of business owners with a collective passion for LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming mental health and wellness services.

And it grew into a Vision where all LGBTQ+ people are able to access the wellness support and services they need without fear of discrimination or harassment.

That Vision is Proud Wellness!

We launched Proud Wellness in April 2023 and I’m already blown away by the incredible wellness experts joining our community.

Our first project is to create a place where queer folks can access inclusive, affirming and accessible mental health and wellness support.

That project is the 🌈Proud Wellness Partner Directory.

    Hey I'm Sarah and I'm so glad you're here reading this...

    Because it probably means you’re ready to make a bigger difference in the world and change things up in your life so that you feel more purposeful, inspired, and fulfilled.

    If you’re LGBTQ+ and you’re struggling to step fully into your authentic truth, live your purpose and make the impact you know you’re here to make, then I can help.

    I’m here to support you to feel aligned, energised, and inspired about your future.

    The LGBTQ+ people I help are often struggling to show up authentically and make the impact they desire in their life, workplace or business.

    I’ve worked with entrepreneurs and business owners as well as leaders from large corporate organisations.

    Here's what a couple of my clients say about working with me:

    "As a late-in-life lesbian as I was struggling with identity and figuring out who I was, where I came from, how I got here, and why. I didn’t feel able to express my truth until this later period in my life and I was experiencing a lot of internalised homophobia. Sarah helped me to quickly gain a better understanding by uncovering the blocks and limiting beliefs I was holding on to. Instead of just kind of showing up and ticking the boxes, Sarah helped me to expand my idea of who I am and how I can show up in this world by aligning with my authentic self. " - AMANDA, LONDON

    "I had completely lost the joy in life. I was caught up in a career that was taking me further and further away from being me; in addition, extensive travel also took me away from my wife/life. Working with Sarah enabled me to tap into my creativity again, which has in turn driven the focus back to the core of me. Things have started to flow to me without effort! There's a fabulous future for me to engage in and I am absolutely worth living my best life possible I now know how to combine work-life, photography, writing a book, and building my non-executive career; all from my purpose!" - ANNEMIEKE, UK
