Body Image & Stress Coaching with Sarah Martyn

You deserve more than constantly feeling stressed out, self-conscious, or disconnected from yourself.

So many of us have learned to live in a state of pressure - criticizing our bodies, overriding our needs, and treating rest like something we have to earn. This is not a personal flaw or something you were born with - we live in a culture that profits from our exhaustion and insecurity.

Coaching with me is a space to begin stepping out of those patterns with more self-compassion and support.

We’ll work - together - to help you feel more grounded, more at ease, and more connected to yourself.

Body Image Healing

If you’re exhausted by the feeling that your worth is tied to a number on the scale or the shape of your body, please know that the harsh inner critic you hear isn’t your fault. The roots of diet culture run deep, and the multi-billion-dollar industry behind it profits from your self-doubt. Our work will gently untangle those narratives so you can hear and trust your inner voice again.

Together, we’ll focus on:

  • Rebuilding self-confidence

  • Feeling at home in your body

  • Disentangling your identity from appearance

  • Learning to stop letting others’ opinions dictate your self-worth

This work is rooted in compassion, anti-diet principles, and the belief that your body is not a problem to be fixed, but a relationship to be tended with care.

Stress Management

Stress Management Coaching offers grounded, body-based support to help you better understand your nervous system and develop sustainable tools for daily life.

This work is both practical and holistic. Together, we’ll explore stress management through nervous system regulation, rest practices, and gentle mindset shifts - while also taking a clear-eyed, compassionate look at your real, day-to-day life.

Sessions are personalized, realistic, and rooted in self-compassion. Rather than adding another to-do, this work supports you in feeling more regulated, present, and resilient within the life you already have.

Please reach out directly to schedule a coaching session. A phone consult with Sarah is the first step. PS - Wanting support for more than once area of focus? You’re welcome here. Schedule the coaching session that best matches your primary focus, knowing that sessions can naturally include more than one area of your life.

FAQ’s

  • A: So many of us are conditioned to put ourselves last. Together, we’ll reframe how you relate to time and self-worth. If you’re curious how that happens, I’m happy to chat.

  • A: If you suspect you’re dealing with anxiety or depression, it’s important to connect with a licensed mental health professional. I’m not a therapist and don’t offer diagnosis or clinical mental health care. That said, many clients find that our work together supports their broader healing—especially in conjunction with therapy. I’m also happy to refer you to trusted providers if needed.

    As a yoga teacher, I hold space for emotional experiences without digging into trauma, and I’ll always speak from a framework of mindfulness and yogic wisdom rather than clinical advice.

  • The constant critique, the mental tallying, the sense that your body is a problem to solve—none of that is your fault. It’s the outcome of a culture that profits from our self-doubt.

    In coaching, we begin the radical work of stepping out of that loop.

    Together, we’ll shift the focus away from changing your body and toward changing your relationship with your body. That means working with tools like mindfulness, nervous system support, body neutrality, and self-compassion—not diets, scales, or shame.

    This work is about learning to live from the inside out, so your worth isn’t tied to how you think you look on a given day.

  • A: Yes—with an important distinction. My approach is rooted in Health at Every Size, intuitive eating, and Ayurvedic philosophy. This means we’ll focus on:

    Eating to feel fulfilled—not restricted

    Honoring your body

    Incorporating plants and hydration in sustainable, joyful ways

    If your needs include nutrition planning or clinical support, I’ll refer you to a licensed, registered dietitian (scope of practice is important!). My role is to support you in reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, without shame or obsession.

Body Image Coaching

Because body image work benefits from consistency and momentum, I typically recommend meeting weekly for the first 2–3 sessions. After that, many clients choose to transition to biweekly sessions.

Most clients benefit from committing to consistent support for at least 2–3 months if they are hoping to create lasting change in their relationship with their body, self-worth, and stress.

Stress Management Coaching

Stress management support can be more flexible depending on your goals. Some clients benefit from just 1–2 sessions to learn practical tools, while others prefer ongoing support with a more structured schedule.
