So you already climb three times a week. You train pull-ups, fingerboarding, and any climbing exercises you see the pros doing social media — but you still feel stuck. You spend every session wondering if you’re doing the right things.

What if you could have someone pinpoint exactly what you needed to work on, and outline step-by-step how to get there?

I’ll analyze your climbing and determine exactly how to reach your goals.

You don’t have to do it alone.

I identify the skills and strengths that will level-up your climbing the most. Then I create customized movement practice or a training program that fits your lifestyle— while getting you results.

If showing up to the gym and picking random exercises every session was going to make you better at climbing, it would have already.

Client Testimonials

genius within her craft

“Sara has been my coach for just under three months now (project grade advanced from V5 to V10), and as someone who is working to return to competitive sport climbing, I have never had a better coach.
To say that she is anything less than a genius within her craft and beyond would be a paramount injustice.”
-P, In-Person Client
Responsive + Supportive

“I began working with Sara six weeks after giving birth, a time when I wasn’t sure what climbing could and would look like for me in the future. She has been so responsive and supportive through this whole journey.
In just the few months I have been with her I have noticed huge gains in strength but also in my confidence. She has helped me through all the physical and mental hurdles of coming back to a sport I love while also encouraging me to listen to my body and take the time to rest and recover when needed.
I highly recommend working with Sara.”
- Sarah, Online Training Program
growth mindset

“I was a V5 boulderer looking to become something north of a “casual” climber when Sara started coaching me. She combined a keen eye for technical improvement with immediately effective advice on warm-up, training, and recovery. Sara also has a great sense of humor and an infectious growth mindset that made her coaching sessions both effective and downright fun.”
-R, In-Person Client
Best coach

“Sara has made a huge positive impact on my progress in climbing both technically and mentally. She is by far the best climbing coach I've had.”
