Coaching for working parents
You hold everything together. Who is holding you?
For capable, caring parents who look fine on the outside and feel stretched thin on the inside. Gentle, practical coaching to help you find calm, energy and room for yourself again, at your own pace.
Free discovery call of up to one hour. Sessions online via Zoom, wherever you are in New Zealand.
Does this feel familiar?
Life does not come with a manual, and neither does raising a family while building a career.
You are the one everyone relies on, at work and at home.
Saying no feels almost impossible.
The moments with your family pass by while your mind is still at work.
You feel guilty when you rest, and guilty when you stay late.
You are tired in a way that sleep does not seem to fix.
Things look fine from the outside, yet you miss feeling like yourself.
If this sounds like you, please know you do not have to work it out on your own.
What we work towards together
More presence at home. Being there with your family, in body and mind.
Steadier energy. Feeling more focused, and less like you are running on empty.
My coaching offers a calm and supportive space to pause, understand what sits beneath the overwhelm, and gently reconnect with who you are. We go at your pace, with practical steps you can carry into everyday family and work life.
Kinder boundaries. Saying no without the guilt that usually follows.
Room for you. Self-care and joy that actually make it into your week.
Coaches create the conditions for healing to take place. You already have the resources you need within you.
A calmer you. Feeling more secure and in control of your own life.
Hello, I am Sariah
I know this feeling from the inside.
For over 25 years, I built a career across audit, technology, cyber security and risk assurance. I was the capable one, the one others turned to. From the outside, things looked like they were going well.
​
Inside, I felt empty and disconnected, from myself and from my family. My turning point came from my body, after years of chronic stress. One small change at a time, I found my way back to who I had always been.
​
Now I walk alongside working parents who are ready to do the same.

Ways we can work together
Every session is one to one and online. Not sure which fits? That is exactly what the discovery call is for.

A free gift for you
Ever wondered why you do what you do?
Between school runs, deadlines and everyone else's needs, it is easy to lose sight of how you actually think. The Meta Dynamics mini profile is a short self-assessment of your thinking style. You simply read 32 everyday statements and choose how much you agree with each one.
​
It gives you a gentle first glimpse of how you naturally plan, decide, get things done and connect with the people around you. And because thinking styles can grow and change over time, your results are a starting point for growth, never a label.
We begin, at your pace
1
The natural strengths you lean on, at work and at home

3
The thinking patterns that may be quietly wearing you out

Questions you might have
Is coaching the same as counselling?
Coaching is forward-focused and practical. It is not a replacement for counselling, therapy or medical care. If you need that kind of support, I am happy to help you find the right service. In New Zealand, you can also call or text 1737 at any time to talk with a trained counsellor.
Where do sessions happen?
All sessions are online via Zoom, so you can join from home or work, wherever you are in New Zealand.
How much does coaching cost?
Every person and every family is different, so I like to talk about fees and options personally. Please feel free to ask me during your free discovery call, or send me a message any time. I am happy to help.
What if I am not sure coaching is right for me?
That is completely okay. The discovery call is a gentle, no obligation chance for us to talk about where you are, where you would like to be, and whether we are the right fit.
