About Me

Hi, I’m Sarah, a mindset coach with over 20 years of experience in the equestrian and coaching industries and the coach at Rise and Shine Coaching. My journey began at a young age when I had the honour of representing Great Britain in a junior dressage team, which ignited my passion for performance and personal growth.

Since then, I’ve made it my mission to push the boundaries of what’s possible, constantly stepping outside my comfort zone. Whether it was completing a triathlon, running several 10km races and a half marathon, or taking on the challenges of amateur strongwoman contests and novice powerlifting competitions, I’ve always sought opportunities to grow and improve. I’ve also tackled physical and mental endurance events like the Tough Mudder, and this year, I’m gearing up for the Three Peaks in 24 hours—a true test of grit and mindset.

Outside of coaching, you’ll often find me outdoors—whether I’m exploring nature on long walks or setting new challenges for myself. I truly believe that a positive, resilient mindset is the key to success, and I’m here to help you cultivate one that empowers you to thrive in all areas of life.

Rise and Shine Coaching

After years of coaching, I noticed a pattern: no matter how skilled or determined people were, there was often something that stood in the way of their success. That something was mindset. It became clear to me that, while techniques and hard work are crucial, without the right mindset, success often remains elusive. This realisation is what inspired me to further my coaching development and specialise in mindset coaching. I wanted to help people unlock their full potential and achieve success in any area of their lives—whether personal, professional, or fitness-related.

Mindset is essential for everyone, and it’s the foundation of overcoming obstacles, staying motivated, and achieving goals. It shapes how we respond to challenges and determines whether we move forward or get stuck. Whether you're looking to break mental barriers, build confidence, or maintain focus, the right mindset will help you achieve whatever you set your mind to.

Let’s work together to transform your mindset and achieve the success you deserve.
