“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”-Mary Oliver
MY STORY
Welcome! I’m Sarah Kilbey, Christian Life Coach for mothers who feel that they are not living the best version of their lives and need space to empty out, process, and create actionable steps to move into God’s greater plans for them.
Aside from being a Certified Christian Life Coach, I am a former elementary school teacher, mother of two incredible college sons, and wife to my soul mate of over 30 years… and owner of two Golden Retrievers who have now moved into the center of our universe!
My boys were (and are!) my life and my world. We just sent our youngest off to college last year…. And, WHEW- what an incredible, heart wrenching, joyful, angst-filled, exhausting, and exhilarating thing this beautiful ride of motherhood is, right? We love these children with love that surpasses understanding. But because of that, the road is not always easy.
In my sweet stay-at-home years,
I often felt like I should have been doing more. In my years of teaching precious first graders, I felt the guilt of not being present enough for my own boys! With a traveling husband, making sure our marriage got what it needed was a task, too! Extended family and support being far away, my relationship with Jesus was my lifeline. But even that seemed to get squeezed into just minutes a day. And, whoa… nobody prepared me for the DEEP feelings that came with watching your children leave the nest.
Mothers, I see you.
I see your desire to do it all and do it all well- because everyone is counting on you. I see your exhaustion and deep love at the same time. I see your craving for Jesus, but your choice some days to sleep the extra 10 minutes over spending time with Him. I see you wondering what is next for you in a new season. I have been here.
As a Christian coach, I will sit with you, listen to you, listen to you some more, create space for you to envision what you would LOVE for your life, create goals, and help you walk into them. God did not create us to be vessels of stress, worry, and confusion. He created us to have a “peace that passes all understanding” Phillipians 4:7.
He created us to be alive with purpose in every season. And he created us to come and rest and realign- in HIM.
Professional Background

WHAT CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
"Working with Sarah has been absolutely life changing. She has been instrumental in helping me grow into the person God designed me to be. Through her guidance, she has spoken the Word over me and helped me connect more deeply with the Holy Spirit so I could clearly hear Jesus speaking to me. Sarah has a beautiful gift for discernment- she’s helped me recognize what’s truly from Jesus and what’s coming from the enemy or my own insecurities. Because of her, I’ve gained confidence in who I am and have the tools to continue walking boldly in that identity.
She’s also helped me see where my gifts and talents shine and how to use them in ways that bring me joy and glorify God. I’m so grateful for her heart, her faith, and the way she allows God to work through her. Her light shines fiercely and, in Sarah, I have found support, wisdom, encouragement, and a new friend.”
“What a blessing Sarah + this program has been to me! It has been an incredible journey of self discovery that I so needed! She has created such a warm, calm, judgement free space in which goals can be aligned - with God always being the center of it all! I feel His presence so strongly in each session and in the days following. I have noticed such a positive and profound change in many areas in my life- helping me to align with Gods will and purpose. I am so grateful!”
“I had the privilege to be introduced to Sarah by a mutual friend. Our conversations have had a huge impact on my outlook for the future. She exudes positive energy with prayer and support. I can’t imagine not having her in my corner.”
“Sarah was a classmate of mine in The Center for Christian Coaching. Her warm and embracing personality facilitated us developing a friendship in which she was always quick with the gift of affirmation and encouragement in my life.
Her heart is so incredibly nurturing, tender and loving with her sons. Her desire to serve well her sons as their mother is inspiring, as well as a blessing, to witness. I know that the Lord has called her to come alongside other mothers on their journey in motherhood to help them abide in alignment with God’s word and His leading as they shepherd the young hearts and souls of their own children.
As a Christian Life Coach, Sarah will be an enormous blessing in the lives of mothers as God uses her as His vessel to pour into their lives His love, joy, and peace as He renews their strength in Him.”
Let’s sit down and see how we can realign your life with His very best for you.
