Our Approach.

We look at things from a Whole System Perspective - leading to collaborative solutions that benefit the collective.

WE don’t believe anything happens in isolation.

Founded in principles of Ecology, Permaculture, and Regenerative Design we source insights & learning from the Whole Systems you are a part of.

Nature teaches us that everything has a place, and a role, that impacts everything else. When we work with that knowledge, instead of against it, we can build intelligent, resilient, adaptable systems.

In our modern world, we have specialists for just about anything - yet, your challenges, hopes, fears, interpersonal dynamics, goals, and habits weren’t created in a vacuum - they were formed inside the context of nested, and complex systems. As such, your solutions, new visions, & pattern changes need to consider these various factors to achieve true, lasting, and collectively beneficial success.

Nested Systems

“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.”

- Desmond Tutu

Our Impact.

At Our Common - this Whole System Approach works its way into the ways we teach, lead, facilitate and coach. It also informs the way I (Sarah), do life!

In my one-on-one work - Life & leadership coaching, and Executive coaching, we don’t address anything in isolation - we look at your whole life, and welcome all the parts of you, to get to the heart of what’s keeping you stuck, and help you find the momentum you’re looking for.

In my approach to Relationship coaching, we move away from blame, and into curiosity together about your patterns and dynamics, the ways you influence each other - to help you create relationship dynamics that allow you both to thrive!

When working with teams & communities through team facilitation, coaching, & training, we look at your collective strengths, needs, and capacities to make sure you’re truly operating at your full potential. We make space for all voices to be heard, so that your whole collective can benefit from the insights of every individual. This approach helps us help you with improved communication, smoother conflict, and aligned decisions and actions!

In our community building group coaching program - Our Common Life - we teach a whole system approach for navigating relationships and community. It also informs how we connect and learn with each other in the program! Together we create a rich learning environment where there’s room for everyone to be on their own journey, and come with their own questions and learning style, while still all growing as a group!

“Sarah combines tangible frameworks, tools & skills, with an emotionally intuitive approach that leaves me feeling so held and supported each time I work with her.”
