Recovery Coaching with Sara Borgstede

Sara Borgstede offers private, individualized coaching to help you achieve balance and find food freedom. Receive the support you need to get to develop a healthy relationship with food.

Recovery Coaching

I am a trained and certified Recovery Coach to support people who struggle with overeating, compulsive eating, food issues, binge eating and bulimia.

Weight Loss Coaching is currently closed.

We use the S.A.F.E. Steps model for Recovery Coaching, which is from The Binge Code. I highly recommend their free toolkit, course, and books.

I am committed to helping people break free from binge eating, bulimia, compulsive overeating, food obsession, and unhealthy emotional eating. You will find lasting peace with food and your body.

As the founder of Kingdom Builders Academy, I teach Christian speakers, writers and coaches how to increase their income, impact and influence. Whenever we are faced with big goals or challenging circumstances, I believe the quickest, easiest and most cost-effective way to get results is to hire an experienced coach. My work affords me the privilege to travel the world, so when I wanted strategies to lose a few pounds and maintain my weight on the road, I turned to Sara Borgstede. Her knowledge, accountability, compassion, spiritual wisdom, and hands-on, no-nonsense approach provided exactly what I was looking for. I give Coach Sara my highest recommendation. You are in good hands with her!

Why Coaching?

Here are some reasons why clients choose to invest in personalized weight loss coaching:

• You are stuck and can’t seem to make forward progress – at the scale, with healthy habits, personally or spiritually.
• You need personalized attention and accountability for your goals.
• You have good intentions but can’t seem to get started or stick with a program.
• You prefer a personalized path instead of working in a larger group.
• You want help making God the center of your weight loss journey.
• You’ve had a significant life change, such as a new baby, menopause, grief and loss, moving, or chronic health issues, and can’t seem to get back on track.
• You have health issues that make weight loss difficult. (Note: Coaching does not provide medical advice but can offer guidance in creating healthy habits while dealing with medical problems. Sara has dealt with ongoing medical conditions during weight loss and maintenance and speaks from life experience.)
• You follow a specific diet, such as vegan, vegetarian, whole food, plant-based, or gluten-free, and need help making weight loss work within those parameters. (Note: Coaching does not replace the advice of a dietician.)
• You want to work with someone who “gets it” and has walked the walk of life at her goal weight for almost two decades.

How Coaching Sessions Work

Get the accountability and support to stick to the healthy habits that make weight loss happen. Discover reasons you self-sabotage and find out how to stop once and for all.

Weight loss coaching is different from therapy. (We are big fans of mental health therapy. Click here to learn more about therapy for weight loss or eating disorders.) Coaching offers practical, specific strategies to move forward with healthy habits immediately. Rather than focusing on past hurt, the goal is to narrow your focus to the present and move forward successfully.

After investing in a package (below) and completing a few pre-coaching questions, you will meet with Sara for an initial session. Sara will ask many questions to get a complete picture of your progress and where you need additional guidance. At that time, both of you will determine if coaching is a good fit for you.

With Sara’s guidance, you will set specific goals for the progress you want to make and strategize exact steps for how to get there. Together, you will determine how often to meet and how much coaching is necessary based on your budget, life circumstances, and specific needs.

Sessions are 45 minutes and take place via Zoom.

By your preference, coaching can be provided from a Christian or secular perspective.

I knew the Lord lead me to you for a purpose. We all need hope and guidance and you have given me both. Sometimes life gets murky, and we can’t see a clear way out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
