About Sarah

At Gentle Bear Coaching, we draw inspiration from the powerful duality of the mother bear – fierce, formidable and protective when necessary, yet gentle and nurturing at the same time. As women, and mothers, we have many roles – protector, teacher, provider – and in every woman, whether a mother or not, lies this innate “mother bear” instinct – a deep well of courage, love and determination. My aim is to provide coaching that is gentle, empathetic and nurturing, empowering you to embrace and balance these qualities, and cultivate confidence, reliance and self-care so you can live a life you love.

As a coach, as well as a busy mum of two, (one neurodiverse little boy, and a neurotypical little girl) I am passionate about empowering others to take the steps to live the life they dream about, because anything is possible if we believe and take action. I know how easy it is to get caught up in endless day to day responsibilities, feel overwhelmed, and lose touch with who you are beyond those daily roles. I help women, especially mothers, reconnect with their identity, rediscover their passions, and create a life that feels truly fulfilling.

I have been a professional freelance musician for almost 20 years and it has enabled me to travel widely, and live an amazing life. I have had the pleasure and privilege to meet and play with people from many varied backgrounds, and I know how difficult it is to act outside your comfort zone, and push yourself beyond what you think is possible. I also know how rewarding it is to live a life of passion and purpose doing what you love, and I want to enable others to do the same. I started Gentle Bear Coaching because I felt the need for a gentle and nurturing approach to helping others achieve their dreams.
