About Sara
I’m the one people turn to when they're not even sure what needs fixing.
I’m not here to be an extra set of hands—I’m your trusted business partner, taking ownership of the parts of your business that need it most. I’m experienced, I’m straightforward, and I’m in it for the long haul, ensuring your business grows in a way that lasts.
People trust me because I’m dependable, decisive, and pragmatic. Folks who have worked with me will tell you I'm skilled at managing teams, solving complex problems, and cutting through the noise to focus on what keeps their customers coming back for more.
Thirteen+ years in healthcare taught me how to handle an emergency—and more importantly, how to prevent one. With a background in sports medicine, I’m all about keeping things in check and building systems that make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
I have a unique lens that allows me to see the 10,000 ft view and I'm able to shift puzzle pieces around to fit YOUR vision.
I’ve been where you are—burnt out and overwhelmed—and it’s become my mission to create solutions that work for you, not the other way around. I know the importance of having strong systems and processes in place that scale with you.
I’ve had to pivot in my life more times than I can count—sometimes by choice, sometimes by necessity—but each time, I’ve learned how to make myself useful in any situation. Whether it’s solving problems, finding bottlenecks, or guiding teams with diplomacy, I’ve developed a knack for understanding the needs of any audience and tailoring my approach accordingly. I’m a quick study, and I thrive on turning challenges into opportunities, all while staying focused on moving forward.

I'm anti-burnout...

Isn’t it time for your business to work for you? If you're ready for the freedom to be fully present in your life, let’s make it happen!
You're in the right place if...
You have a team (or you’re building one) and need a right-hand expert who values collaboration, clear communication, and leadership that uplifts everyone at the table.
You’ve put in the work to build something successful, and now you’re ready to invest in support that aligns with your vision, values, and the impact you want to make.
You thrive when you’re creating, visioning, and making big moves—but keeping operations running smoothly isn’t where you want to spend your time.
You want a trusted partner who can step in, assess what’s working (and what’s not), and ensure your business runs with both purpose and precision.
You’re past the point of patching things together with quick fixes—you’re ready for solutions that actually support long-term, sustainable growth.
You didn’t build this business just to be chained to it. You want to scale and have a life, and you know the right support is key to making that happen.
You believe business should be built with integrity—where diverse perspectives are valued, people are treated with respect, and success doesn’t come at the expense of your well-being (or anyone else’s).
We won't be a great fit if...
You’re looking for someone to take orders rather than a trusted business partner who can think critically and act autonomously.
You want someone available 24/7—I fully believe in boundaries, balance, and running a business without burnout.
You expect perfection but aren’t open to improving systems, communication, or leadership.
You’re looking for a budget option—I bring a high level of expertise, and my pricing reflects the depth of experience, strategy, and leadership I provide.
You resist change—my job is to assess, refine, and optimize. If you’re not open to new ways of doing things, we probably won’t vibe.
You don’t value diverse perspectives, ethical business practices, or treating people with respect.
How does it work?
Let's get you back into your zone of genius. I'll handle the rest.
We'll have a discovery call to make sure I understand your goals
I'll send a service agreement and an invoice to your email
I'll send you an intake questionnaire to guide our kickoff call
We'll schedule our kickoff call where we'll align on 30, 60, and 90 day deliverables
We'll have a kickoff call to get aligned, work out the logistics, and form a plan
You're on your way back to you "why" without worry <3

Sara at Strolling Sage is a lifesaver for business partnerships. My business partner and I met with Sara for a series of mediation sessions, and her guidance was nothing short of transformative. She created a safe and supportive space for us to navigate the complexities of both our personal lives and our business relationship.
Through her thoughtful approach, Sara helped us uncover gaps, address complications, and articulate our shared desires for the future. Her insights and actionable suggestions allowed us to clear significant blocks and create a clear path forward. We left the sessions with renewed clarity and alignment, and I can honestly say that Sara’s work saved our partnership. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone seeking to strengthen or repair a business relationship! - Holly H

I was overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward, but then Sara stepped in. She has been my rock through this entire process. Her calm, strategic approach has not only brought order to the chaos but also helped me stay grounded and focused.
