My Work
I believe that meaningful change begins with self-awareness. Sometimes life presents us with unexpected transitions. Other times, we simply realize that what once worked for us no longer feels quite right.
My approach to coaching is shaped by my own life experiences, professional journey, and a deep belief in our capacity to grow and evolve. I've learned that change isn't always about starting over. Sometimes it's about seeing things differently, questioning familiar patterns, and making choices that better reflect who we're becoming.
As a holistic life and transition coach, I consider the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore what's important to you, gain greater self-awareness, and discover your own path forward.
I don't believe my role is to tell you what to do. It's to listen, ask meaningful questions, offer new perspectives, and support you in turning your insights into intentional action.
Creating space for meaningful conversations, reflection, and new perspectives.
How I Found My Way to Coaching
FriYAY — bringing National Park Service employees together through conversation and connection.
Sometimes an unexpected ending helps us recognize what matters most.
During my career with the National Park Service, I created FriYAY, an internal podcast and conversation series that began during the COVID pandemic. At a time when employees were feeling disconnected, I wanted to create opportunities for people to come together, share perspectives, and feel a greater sense of connection.
What began as a small initiative grew into a National Park Service-wide program. For two and a half years, it became one of the most meaningful parts of my professional life.
When the program ended, I was heartbroken. But it clarified something important: what I valued most was creating space for genuine human connection, reflection, and personal growth.
I wanted to continue that work, even beyond my federal career.
So, I pursued my holistic coaching certification and later joined the Department of the Interior's coaching program, eventually earning my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential.
Today, coaching allows me to continue doing something I care deeply about: offering people a space where they can feel heard, explore what's meaningful to them, and discover their own way forward.
In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, I believe those conversations matter more than ever.

“Sally coaches with care, ingenuity, confidence and humility. She's truly mastered the art of digging in and helping your innermost thoughts and ideas surface. “
Saudia M.
I really don't know if I could ask for a better coach. Sally is an incredible listener, and she is extremely intelligent. To me, she seems to ask the right questions and then has a genuine curiosity when I provide my answers. She then helps me see things in a different way, and most likely, in ways I would never see. I appreciate her honest, direct, and humble approach.
