Embracing Transformation: A Little More About Me!
Published by: Sarah Parkins
Hi everyone! 🎉
I’m Sarah Parkins, Founder of Birch Cove, and Certified Integrative Health Coach and Consultant. I’m excited to share a bit more about myself with you. 🌟
I’ve spent 18 years in the corporate world and 8 years navigating the highs and lows of start-up and entrepreneurship. Through this journey, I’ve come to appreciate the profound path of personal and professional growth. 🚀
Like everyone, I’ve faced my share of trauma, challenges, heartache, pain, grief, and loss. It’s a part of being human - life inevitably brings its difficulties. What truly matters is how we navigate these challenges and who we become on the other side. 🌈
2023 was a particularly transformative period for me. I encountered a cascade of challenges: a business closure, family health crises, personal health struggles, and the weight of uncertainty. It felt like everything was falling apart, and the fear of losing it all became very real. Yet, amidst the chaos, I found deeper clarity and understanding. 💖
Accepting uncertainty and learning to be okay with it took immense courage and introspection. It was a signal that change was needed - a nudge (or a giant shove, actually!) toward a new path. This period of transformation led me to a new chapter in my journey, one that I’m genuinely excited and grateful to accept and embrace. 🌿
As a Certified Health Coach, I support professionals, business owners, and entrepreneurs with personalised health coaching ✨ At Birch Cove, we also collaborate with businesses to enhance well-being through our professional services offering. Our commitment is to optimize well-being and vitality, and I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across the U.K. and the U.S. 🌐🤝.
Integrative Health Coaching considers health from a 360-degree perspective including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life. Together, we create actionable plans that incorporate lifestyle changes and informed nutrition choices, aligning with each client’s goals and addressing the root causes of their well-being 🌟.
The individuals I’ve worked with often grapple with a range of challenges, including health issues, stress, fatigue, feeling stuck, and managing high-pressure roles. Together, we dive into areas like nutrition 🥗, food choices, nutrient balance, and dig into possible root causes of challenges. We consider balancing inflammation 🔥, mitochondrial health 🧬, brain and gut health 🧠, the gut-heart-brain connection ❤️, immune health 🛡️, nervous system balancing 🧘♀️, and detoxing - both the body and life 🌿, and much more.
The body is a complex and beautiful organism, with intricate systems that perform incredible functions. Helping individuals work with their healthcare experts and providers to implement their recommendations and guidance takes time and commitment, and navigating this journey alone can be frustrating and even scary 😟. Having someone by your side to support you and bounce ideas off can help alleviate fear, empowering you to discover new habits and patterns that truly work for you 💪.
One of my core beliefs is that “investing in humans” is crucial for fostering growth, enhancing health, well-being, and caring for our entire world. At Birch Cove, I’m committed to supporting you in letting go, starting anew, changing, and renewing your journey towards better health and vitality. It’s all allowed.
Our health is our greatest and most precious asset, and it requires proactive care ❤️🛠️. By collaborating with experts, building your well-being team, and making informed decisions, you create a supportive environment for your longevity journey 🛤️🌱. Witnessing individuals evolve into brighter, more connected versions of themselves is truly rewarding 🙌.
I’d love to hear from you - what health topics or themes are you curious about? Drop a comment below, or contact me. What questions do you have about your well-being? Are there specific products, services, or experiences in health and well-being that interest you?
Let’s build a supportive community together as we explore ways to improve our health and vitality.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a bit better. I’m deeply grateful for the support I’ve received and look forward to connecting with many of you on this journey.
Sarah 🌟
