Life-Coaching for
Youth and Teens*
Grow self-love.
Be who you are.
Be the superhero of your own life.
One on one support for girl identified youth and teens* (includes gender fluid/non-binary)
experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and pressures from school, life, and peers.
Hi, I’m Sarai. I made it through being a girl in this world - but I sure wish I had a little more help along the way! That’s why I’m motivated to be there for the wise and amazing young people growing up in this crazy world right now (that’s you). I know that you’ve got what it takes to be at home in yourself and offer your true and unique expression to the world.
I am a friendly someone who cares about you and can be there for you to share what’s happening. Then I can support you to make the changes you’d like in your life, from the inside out, to become the superhero of your life.
I can help if you are experiencing anxiety, worry, overwhelm or fear that comes more regularly than you would like.
I can support you to re-think how to face challenges you might be having in school, sports, extra curriculars, social and family life.
I’m especially good at helping with inner critic voices that are saying things like –
“Uhh… I can’t believe I did that, I’m not gonna put myself out there again. Nobody likes you anyway. If I only was more like (fill in said person), then I’d be happy.”
Sound familiar? Makes you cringe a little? I’m putting it all out there because it turns out we’ve ALL got inner-critic voices in there (me too). If you experience this - you’re not alone.
To become the superhero of our own lives - we each have to be courageous to take a good look at the bad guys (all those voices stated above). Turns out they don’t have as much power when we expose them. Then we can grow our superpower - the part of our brain that actually KNOWS that we are perfect just as we are.
How we work together
Get to know you: I listen and ask good questions. I want to get to know you, where you thrive and where you struggle, and where is the best place for us to put attention.
Creative exploration: I guide you through creative exercises that include writing, drawing, visualization and nature connection (depending on what you’re into)
Offer tools: I offer helpful perspectives about how to approach hard situations and tools that you can apply to your life to make things easier. Take the ones that you like, leave the ones behind that you’re not feelin’
TESTIMONIALS
“Sarai has helped me heal my relationship with myself. She talks you through your challenges in the most nurturing and gentle way. Working with her has made me recenter my energy to a positive and supportive place. Sarai always has a lot of deep knowledge to share with me to help me on my journey. She is there for you, feeling the downs and celebrating the ups alongside you, providing supportive advice and resources to guide you along the way.

“Sarai has spent years working with kids/teens and has developed a unique gift of being able to relate to them and understand their headspace. She listens intently and seems to know how to drill down into feelings. She has taught my daughter tools to use to help deal with strong feelings and some mindfulness techniques. It is such a gift to have another trusted adult that my kid can share feelings with. I wish I had a Sarai to help guide me through some of those confusing teenage years.”

More about me and how to get started
Growing up has never been easy, but in the modern world, there are so many variables that youth are facing simultaneously - from fast paced lives to an uncertain global future. No matter how much you love your child and what an amazing caregiver you are, it takes a village.
I have worked with hundreds of children and teens in my career offering nature and soul based programs for youth. In supporting young people through the often tumultuous waters of growing from a child into a teenager, I have learned a lot about what is needed to counter many of the messages that girls* are getting from media and society that contribute to diminishing confidence as they get older. I bring deep care and passion to support girls to thrive. In addition I bring my in-depth trainings in coaching, guide work and youth mentorship combined with my extensive experience on the ground.
