Introduction: My clients achieve measurable, personal success with individual life satisfaction, relationships, careers, and reduction of stress, frustration, depression, and anger. I can quickly show you three skills to make your communication superior and to enhance your self-esteem! After working with me, my clients overcome obstacles in their lives, feel more motivated, and then can live a life of fulfillment. Trust is of utmost importance in my coaching relationship, and I will work really hard for you! I have a Bachelor and Master's Degree in Psychology, and am a National Certified Counselor, a National Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor IV in California (CATC IV), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama ( inactive at this time). I am also trained as a YB12 Life Coach ( e.g. Have your Best 12 Months/Year Ever!). I have over thirty years experience in coaching. My family and I recently moved to Marina Del Rey, Ca. from Orlando, Fl. Although I am a trained counselor, in California, I currently operate as a Life Coach. I feel inspired and experience great joy when my clients achieve success! For that reason, my number one goal is to guide them with compassion and concise coaching toward their desired accomplishments, whether it be individual life goals ( greater joy in life, career goals etc.), relationship goals, or family goals.

Sarah has been instrumental in my recovery. Before coaching with Sarah, I struggled with things that stemmed from my childhood that greatly affected the quality of my life. I avoided confrontation and had difficulty showing vulnerability to others. Sarah helped me to see and understand how my past decisions affected me in the present, and could possibly affect my future. Once I had that awareness, I was able to make the decision to change. Sarah guided me with skill, compassion, and patience in breaking down these barriers. She gently pushed me out of my comfort zone until I built the courage I needed to overcome my obstacles. She motivated me every step of the way even when I was hesitant. She gave me the communication and cognitive tools I needed to have confidence, and see that I was worthy and deserving of living a happy and more fulfilled life.

I was very co-dependent and struggling to break away from a long-term toxic relationship. Through my coaching sessions with Sarah, I began to learn how to set clear boundaries, reduce my tendency to feel that I am responsible for everything and everyone, thus greatly reducing my feelings of guilt. Using specific tools that Sarah showed me, I am now able to talk myself out of negative thoughts which often left me paralyzed from changing my situation. The communication and thought techniques she shared with me greatly increased my self-confidence. Sarah has also helped me to compartmentalize my issues so I can better focus at work, increase my productivity and communicate with others more effectively. Sarah's non-judging personality, solid listening skills and inspirational guidance has truly been a godsend. I don't believe I could have made so much progress in such a short time without her. I highly recommend Sarah as a life coach for anyone that is stuck on how to proceed in any situation, whether it be work or personal issues. Julia Documentation Specialist, Orlando, Florida

I met Sarah in a social setting and was immediately drawn to her warm and gentle demeanor. After learning about her background in counseling, I knew she would be a tremendous coach. Sarah has inspired me to pursue my lifes dream of becoming a registered dietitian. A wife and mother of two, I just couldnt figure out how to balance my role(s) as wife, mother and student. After one unsuccessful attempt at finishing my degree, Sarah continued to redirect my excuses and help me reconsider taking that first step again. She provided an accountability outlet as well as the rational thinking and communication techniques I needed to accomplish my goal, one micro-step at a time. I am thrilled to be on the right path and will complete my degree in just one year! I am succeeding and enjoying my journey with a terrific coach cheering me on. Sarah is a master at developing human potential. Her firm yet gentle approach yields life changing results. Her innate ability to engage, connect and identify with peoples deepest fears allows her to build trust while teaching skills that produce results. Sarah Phillips is a gem. She has left an indelible impression on my heart and future! Mary Ellen Student Tampa, FL

Sarah has helped me in so many ways. She is super easy to open up with and has an extraordinary sense of discernment and trustworthiness. I was having trouble with my grown girls, trying to constantly please them, but feeling neglected and unappreciated. I had long standing issues with my father, and guilt from my past marriages. I was very afraid to love again or even date. Sarah helped me get my priorities straight so that I began to achieve goals for myself rather than always pleasing everyone else. I started dating again, have learned to be more honest and open, and am now engaged to a wonderful man. My girls no longer take advantage of me, and we have a more loving relationship. I love my life coach! Sherri, Wedding Planner
