Hi, I’m Sara, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a trauma-informed counsellor, life coach, and holistic nutritionist specializing in integrative mental health for Highly Sensitive Women. My work blends mind-body medicine, somatic therapy, and holistic nutrition to support deep emotional healing and authentic self-reconnection.

My life and career have taken me from Northern Ontario to Latin America and the Caribbean, where I’ve witnessed firsthand the resilience of the human spirit and the body’s innate capacity to heal. I’m passionate about helping women move beyond survival and into a life of balance, vitality, and self-compassion.

How did this become my life’s work? Read my story.

Here are my Credentials and my Approach.

If you feel overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected, I want you to know you are not alone. I understand the feeling of wanting help but being too exhausted or hopeless to ask for it. This work has changed my life, and I am honoured to share it with you. Today, I sit in a deep sense of peace and self-worth I once believed was beyond my reach.

Many of us face long-standing challenges in our health, behaviours, emotions, thoughts, work, or relationships. I know what it’s like to carry the weight of complex trauma - I’ve been there myself. I understand the times when sadness, anxiety, or a sense of collapse can feel like the only option. I also know the ache of longing for a life that feels fully alive, while feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I see life’s challenges as passing experiences, while our core Self remains untouched and whole.

Vibrant health is our natural default. I believe in our body’s innate intelligence and its remarkable ability to heal when given the right conditions. This perspective comes from both my personal journey of navigating mental health challenges and nearly two decades of professional experience in the health and wellness field.

We don’t need to be “fixed,” because we were never broken. Instead, healing comes from supporting the body’s natural wisdom - removing what interferes and providing what it truly needs to restore balance and vitality.

If you’ve been searching for a holistic approach to healing - one that sees you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms - you’re in the right place.

At Beyond Vitality, I support women with integrative mental health, guiding you toward a sense of balance, calm, and self-compassion. There truly is a light waiting for you on the other side of this journey.

I am a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) and I love to help other sensitives. My practice is a place where all your parts are welcomed, allowing you to build safety and trust while addressing your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

My Journey: From Survival to Thriving.

Healing is not just about surviving - it’s about thriving. As a trauma-informed counsellor, life coach and holistic nutritionist, I approach my work with deep empathy drawn from lived experience. My passion for understanding trauma is deeply personal and was catalyzed by a distinct life transition. As a PTSD and complex trauma survivor, I know what it’s like to struggle past the point of hopelessness. A pivotal moment in my life came when my family and I survived a Category 5 hurricane, experiencing profound shock, loss and displacement. That experience ignited my commitment to understanding trauma on a deeper level - not just emotionally but physiologically and spiritually. Read the full story here.

A Global Perspective on Healing.

I was educated in academia, but it was my lived experience in the jungles of Latin America and the Caribbean that truly taught me what no classroom ever could.

Originally a small-town girl from Northern Ontario, Canada, my horizon expanded when I spread my wings to live and work in Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Costa Rica, and Mexico. I deeply understand and appreciate various ways of being and thinking, as well as the culture shock (and reverse culture shock), migratory grief, and the mental health challenges that can come along with being an expat, immigrant, refugee or cross-cultural family. My work supports individuals navigating these transitions, fostering resilience and empowerment in unfamiliar landscapes.

From personal experience and professional expertise, I offer a compassionate, client-centered space where you can reclaim your story, reconnect with your body, and step into a new chapter of life - one filled with nourishment, empowerment, and self-discovery.
