Guest Bio:
Sarah Mayland is a weight loss coach, certified personal trainer, fitness nutrition specialist and clinical mental health counselor.
With the mission to empower women to take on the challenge of becoming their best selves throughout their weight loss journey, she has taught the valuable lessons of self-love and acceptance.
Her path toward becoming a weight loss coach started throughout her undergraduate years when she struggled with weight management herself but was able to overcome those challenges through working with dietitians and establishing a fitness routine.
As we all know, life throws us curve balls and a healthy lifestyle becomes more difficult to maintain, especially while pregnant and going through grad school simultaneously. She was able to once again conquer those challenges but with an entirely new perspective.
These life experiences really opened her eyes to the false belief that women and mothers so often accept; that self-love is conditional. This awoke a passion within her to provide women with the support they need to feel strong, confident and happy, particularly throughout pregnancy and postpartum periods. She has been able to combine her clinical counseling background and personal experiences with weight loss coaching strategies to help women make lasting changes in their lives.
