About Sara Dawson

Hi! My name is Sara Dawson, and I am a Life & Leadership Coach. I’m originally from California and spent several years in beautiful Connecticut, though Seattle is my true home. I love exploring the outdoors with my husband and two dogs, and equally enjoy being a homebody with our two cats. You can also find me playing soccer, practicing or teaching Taekwon-do, running marathons, skiing & snowboarding, or enjoying chill time with family and friends. Prior to becoming a full-time coach, I led the Seattle Advertising Services and National Business Operations teams for a large digital agency called Publicis Sapient. I was responsible for account management strategy, operations management, and employee development. In my former life, I also leveraged my communications background to execute recruitment and branding campaigns as well as large-scale corporate event registration. While I enjoyed leadership coaching as part of my agency role, I wanted to expand the ways I could support others through coaching. Coaching is my ultimate passion! I especially love applying my corporate and health experiences in support of my clients’ personal and professional goals. I firmly believe everyone needs a strong health foundation to be at their best. I started my own self-improvement journey after enduring 20 years of weight loss and confidence struggles. I was tired of yo-yo diets, the shame from having an eating disorder, and the pressure of hiding an unhealthy obsession. I was overloaded with insecurities, never comfortable in my own skin, and feeling like I was never good enough. These crappy feelings impacted my relationships and my job satisfaction as I distanced myself from others. I retreated into my own thoughts and continued to do less of the things I loved as fear and self-doubt took over. I knew if I didn’t make a big change, nothing would EVER be good enough and I would be stuck with a mediocre life as a shell of my true self. After hitting my wall, I finally took action and found the right diet, high-performance lifestyle, and mindset through tons of research, trial and error, and guidance from my own coach. I’m so grateful to have discovered the confidence and freedom to live my best life! Now, as a certified coach, I enjoy helping my clients bridge that gap between where they are and where they want to be as quickly as possible in all aspects of life. If you are ready to elevate your life and realize your potential, let’s chat! I look forward to connecting with you.
