Dedicated teacher, forever student, and lifelong learner, Sasha is committed to walking the talk and supporting your own unique, transformative journey. She will compassionately hold you accountable and work with you on personalizing the practices and tools that work best for your needs and lifestyle.
A connected and compassionate relationship with yourself is the foundation for wellness; it’s a prerequisite to making aligned choices for the health of your mind, body, and planet.
Before you make a specific physical or mental health decision, or as you navigate health challenges in these areas, understanding your core needs, current patterns, and future desires is imperative.
This deep, alchemizing form of self-care will connect you to your authentic desires by filtering out fear, self-doubt, and ego-based wants, ensuring that your actions come from a place of self-love vs a need to fix yourself.

WHAT TO EXPECT
You and Sasha are a match if you’re invested in upleveling your physical and emotional health through the daily lifestyle choices you make – whether you’re just starting or want to refine your approach.
You are seeking something “more,” even if you’ve already done some seeking.
You want a deeper connection to your body, your mind, your food, and the planet.
You know a more fulfilling life is possible, but you’re not sure where to start, or are overwhelmed by choices.
You want someone to offer support, help you notice your potential blind spots or blocks, and suggest personalized vs generalized tools or resources.
After working together, you start to feel more aware of yourself, your mindset, and your habits, and more able to make conscious, nourishing shifts in ways that are feasible for you.
You can now understand that self-care involves a balance of discipline and compassion, and have someone to guide you in the process of cultivating effective rituals and habits.
You begin to approach movement, mindfulness, nutrition, and ecological living with curiosity and excitement instead of confusion and resistance.
Life feels full of possibility, hope, authenticity, and fun (finally).
IF WE MATCH
I work best with people that are already curious and might have some knowledge, but can’t seem to either get going or maintain both the physical and mindset habits they know are good for them.
I’m for you if you are seeking personalized suggestions based on your needs and desires, and together we will come up with a plan to achieve your desires based on time-tested, holistic practices.
If you know absolutely nothing about health and wellness but are completely committed to your health, we can talk about what we can do together. If you want a safe space to express yourself, confront yourself, feel what you need to feel, and move forward, then let’s go.
It’s not the time to work together if you’re not willing to take action toward making what you know will be nourishing choices for yourself; if you’re not ready to make shifts that require gentle yet firm discipline.
If you have incredibly specific and serious health needs that require immediate attention from a medical professional, I can absolutely offer valuable supplemental support as you navigate things.
I will not prescribe you any type of medical plan, and also won’t suggest habit shifts or action steps that feel so unreachable that you can’t get there.
For years I’ve admired the clean and healthy lifestyle Sasha lives… Knowing my lifestyle was the polar opposite of hers I was hesitant at first on how much… coaching would make a difference for me. Sasha made a point to give me helpful suggestions and tools that fit my own lifestyle in which I could maintain. Never once did I feel pressured to live like anyone other than myself. I can proudly say I use the tools and suggestions she provided me to this day. Although the changes were minor the results have been major. I’ve never felt better in my own body. -Maggie
I am so grateful for everything Sasha has done for me. After trying several therapists, medications, and remedies, I had started to lose hope that my life would greatly improve. She has really been the only person to truly help me and point me in the right direction. She did such a great job of guiding me there and providing me with an abundance of resources… Because of her, there has been a major positive change in my life. I always greatly appreciated her patience, attentive listening, ability to relate, and the fact that I knew I could always depend on her for support. She specialized and personalized the [coaching] sessions to meet my needs while proposing various ideas and perspectives during our discussions… I am so thankful to Sasha for initiating such a momentous transition in my life. -Loren
…My coaching sessions with Sasha were instrumental in keeping me on track and upbeat even when things were difficult. I looked forward to our weekly meetings and the incredible resources she shared with me. Looking back a year later, I know the reason I’ve been able to keep it up is because she helped me set the groundwork for optimal health and well-being. I am forever grateful… -Jessica

I am committed to de-conditioning privilege with the aforementioned actions and by re-examining my core values for peace, equality, unconditional love / acceptance / fair treatment / non-harming / respect for all beings and the planet on which we live.
