Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah. I’m a certified life coach and former doctor, with over a decade of experience in healthcare. I’ve coached hundreds of people worldwide and I’m here to help you overcome burnout and feel like yourself again.

"But Sarah, maybe burnout is just a part of being successful?” Nope.


There’s a better way and I’ve found it.

As a former doctor, I know that bubble baths and face masks don’t fix a life that’s running on empty.

I'VE BEEN IN YOUR SHOES

I’m not the kind of coach who tells you to just “think more positively” or “manifest your dream life.”

Most days, I’m walking my dog in wellies, voice-noting my clients a pep talk between coaching calls, or reminding someone that they’re not lazy, they’re burnt out.

I’m a burnout coach who used to be a burned-out doctor. I’ve felt the 3am dread. I’ve Googled “What else can I do with a medical degree?” And I’ve felt the overwhelm of not knowing which way to turn for help.

That’s why when we work together, I focus on making recovery easy and fun. Because I don’t want to add any more to your ever-growing to-do list.

I want you to feel like you’re the one in charge again - and you’ve got someone in your corner who really gets it.

I’m here to get you real results, not just good vibes.

Value 1: Emotional Safety

I’m right here with you and you can bring your whole self - this is a no-shame zone. (And no, you’re not “too much”.) When you can be real, raw and honest, you can transform.

Here's what to expect from me when we work together.

Value 2: Catalyst Energy

Things shift when we talk. I respect your time and I’m not here to dish out surface-level pep talks. I’m here to help you gain momentum, tackle the stuff you’ve been avoiding, build habits that stick, and make decisions without overthinking.

 
Value 3: Ripple Effect

Your growth doesn’t stop with you. Small changes spark a chain reaction - in your relationships, your work, and the world around you.

Meet Dr. Sarah

I’m going to let you in on a secret: I never planned to become a coach.

 

I was at a friend’s wedding, locked in a bathroom stall hyperventilating and fighting back the tears. I’d worked another 70+ hour week at the hospital dealing with emergencies and non-stop pressure.

My mind was racing, I couldn’t think of anything other than work, let alone make small talk with the other guests and celebrate my friend.  I was beyond exhausted - I felt utterly broken.

 

I knew something had to change.

So I started asking myself hard questions, like why I was always the last to leave work, why I couldn’t sleep without worrying about my patients, and why I felt guilty for wanting a normal life. Even though I was terrified of what it might mean for my career, I cut my hours and started putting my health first. That decision changed the direction of my entire life. I spent the next few years learning everything I could about self-development and overcoming burnout.

Gradually, I stopped crying and feeling anxious every Sunday. I could sit through dinner without checking my rota. I had conversations that weren’t just about the hospital. I felt like myself again. 

And I stayed in medicine and lived burnout-free for several years after that, not by working harder but by working differently. I learned how to take the best possible care of myself whilst balancing my busy career. Later, I trained as a life coach so I could teach others how to do the same, and I’ve been doing that ever since.

Now I coach other high-achieving professionals who are stuck in survival mode and show them how to recover from burnout and get their sparkle back.
