Life Coaching

I first contacted Sarah when I was struggling with anxious thoughts and feelings of overwhelm and low self esteem. I remember the first call I had with her, sharing some of what I had been thinking and feeling, and having a sense of relief that someone listened, and felt they could help. I signed up to the 12 week programme with Sarah, unsure what to expect to be honest. I’d had counselling before, but never coaching. I was looking for someone to listen to what I was saying, really listen, but also offer me guidance and some tools for my self care toolbox. Throughout the 12 weeks we discussed so many things, from sexuality to parenting and lots in between. The biggest thing that Sarah helped me with was the spiralling thoughts and anxious energy I had been experiencing with my young son. Her guidance about positive affirmations helped me to think differently and change how and what I was thinking during these times of worry and anxiety.

Sarah has a holistic approach, she considered my diet, sleep, movement, mindfulness, and she was also able to uncover some of my learnt self beliefs. I am so grateful for Sarah’s listening ear and knowledge she shared with me. I am still working on what we discussed during the coaching sessions, and I’m certain I’ll be back for more support and guidance in the future. Thank you Sarah

When I started working with Sarah I was in an incredibly negative headspace. My self-image was on the floor and my moods were erratic as I was being triggered by the smallest of things. Through our sessions Sarah gave me particular, holistic guidance including affirmations, nutritional and supplement recommendations and breathwork practices to manage my inner critic and negative self talk. Having a safe space to openly discuss how I was feeling partnered with these easy to implement lifestyle changes has completely shifted my mindset.

This work has really allowed me to get a handle on my inner voice and has dramatically elevated my self-acceptance bettering my overall mood. I feel in the most positive, balanced headspace I have been in years and when I feel myself beginning to spiral, the practical tool box Sarah has created with me is what I turn to help me positively and lovingly manage myself, my mind and my emotions. The mental and physical benefits this work has offered me is immense and I am truly grateful for Sarah’s wisdom, guidance and positive energy that has allowed me to feel safe and secure to work through these changes. If you are looking to improve your relationship with yourself, your mindset and your life in general Sarah is a coach that will transform all parts of you and your life.

I sadly lost my dad in November 2020 and was having therapy over the phone, which I just felt wasn’t enough for me and I started to do some research to find a someone I could speak to face to face…

I found The Manor online and after reading what Sarah had to offer I booked an appointment straight away and it is the best thing I have done. I had my first appointment in June 2021 and have been having weekly appointments since.

There is nothing Sarah hasn’t been able to support me with, she has done research and provided me with answers that make sense and ways of making me feel better. She has introduced me to techniques I didn’t even knew exist and I use them day to day and they have become part of my daily routine.

Sarah started using Vitali-Chi and this has changed my life, I wasn’t too sure to start as it was very new to me, she explained how it worked and I felt different after the first session. I look forward to my appointments with Sarah as she offers so many different ways to support me, it is never a case of your appointment is your appointment, I feel I can contact Sarah with any questions or concerns whenever I need too.

I’m so glad I made the decision to contact Sarah, she has been amazing. I have a few issues around anxiety and I have been experiencing grief since losing my parents. I am also going through the menopause, Sarah has helped me with all of this. After trying to get through to my doctor and having no success I’m so glad I went to Sarah. She is helpful, informative, sensitive and so passionate about what she does. I look forward to my appointment each week, especially the massage that is incorporated into the session and have just re booked for another six weeks.

I contacted Sarah a couple of months ago because I had not been feeling like myself for sometime and was finding that perimenopause symptoms were making juggling a busy job, family and time for myself very difficult. I was particularly struggling with lack of sleep and anxiety and wanted to gain more information about menopause and HRT and find out if there were things I could be doing to help myself to feel better. I have just completed a 6 week 1:1 course with Sarah where as well as looking at my specific symptoms we discussed nutrition, exercise, meditation, relationships & emotional intelligence as well as HRT and I can honestly say I feel so much more informed and positive about everything with the practical tools to help me through any challenging days. Sarah was very easy to talk to, reassuring and professional and I have found her advice invaluable; I would highly recommend her to anyone needed help and advice with the menopause.

The past 7 months working with Sarah have truly been incredible! I’ve been able to talk freely about the issues I have struggled with and also, been able to relax with her massages. Her bubbly and friendly character makes the experience truly great, knowing that you have someone to help you grow, heal and feel more refreshed! I still continue to see Sarah and have her full support with the actions I am taking in order to keep healthy, both mentally and physically. Thank you for everything Sarah! I couldn’t recommend anyone better, especially in Colchester!

After feeling lost and not sure what direction to take in life I made the decision to book 6 sessions with Sarah and it is honestly the best thing I could of done. I was able to get things off my chest, Sarah listened and made me feel relaxed in an environment were I could express my feelings. My sessions started with the most  amazing massage that left me feeling totally relaxed when I left. We worked on my self esteem using meditation and wow ! this took me to some amazing places !! I felt like a broken mess at the beginning of my sessions but finished them feeling lighter and brighter looking forward to a brighter future and for this I am very grateful.

I’m so glad I made the decision to contact Sarah, she has been amazing. I have a few issues and Sarah has helped me with all of them. After trying to get through to my doctor and having no success I’m so glad I went to Sarah. She is helpful, informative, sensitive and so passionate about what she does.
