Live in integrity. Lead with intention.
Let’s build a world where there’s room for all to thrive.
Resourcing leaders, communities, and businesses towards collective flourishing.
Our Common is a coaching & consulting practice rooted in relationship.
We believe how you live your life, and do your work, is just as important as what you do.
Through workshops and trainings, speaking engagements, individual and team coaching, courses, and retreats, we help people deepen their relationships with themselves, with each other, and with the natural world around them.
Our work centers on building the skills of interdependence:
designing relationships on purpose,
navigating conflict with care,
leading with integrity and intention, and
strengthening the relational foundations that make communities & businesses thrive.
Drawing from years of systems-based coaching, community development, trauma-informed practice, and the simple truth that humans are wired for connection, we support leaders and teams who want to cultivate cultures of trust, collaboration, and shared possibility.
Your leadership, and your community, matter. More than ever.
We’re in this messy and beautiful world together.
And each of us has a role to play in its collective thriving.

We were never meant to “do it alone.”
For generations, many of us have been shaped by a story of individualism - one that tells us we should be self-sufficient, endlessly productive, and unbothered by the weight of it all.
This story has left so many people isolated, in comparison loops, stretched thin, and disconnected from the support systems we were designed to rely on.
But another story is possible.
At Our Common, we are committed to rebuilding the practices of belonging - reminding ourselves that we are part of a larger ecosystem, connected to each other in ways that matter.
We help leaders and communities shift
from extraction to reciprocity,
from scarcity to shared stewardship, and
from burnout to sustainable, relationally-rooted work.
Because when we tend the whole system everyone benefits.
This is the work of re-weaving the village.
Of remembering that we need one another.
Of choosing connection as a strategy for change.
And you’re invited.

Hi, I’m Sarah.
I’m a Leadership & Relationship Dynamics Coach, community builder, and the founder of Our Common. I was born and raised on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples in Vancouver, BC, where a lifelong love of forests and living systems first shaped how I see the world.
My path has taken me from ecological research and teaching sustainable development, to running an outdoor leadership program, to living in intentional community. Each season has taught me about connection, courage, and what it truly means to belong to one another.
Now rooted with my family in the Okanagan, I coach leaders, teams, and communities as they navigate the real, beautiful work of relationship. I also speak on leadership, belonging, and relational intelligence, having taught in college classrooms, forest glades, and on the TEDx stage.
Here’s how we can work together:
life + leadership coaching
Personalized one-on-one coaching for individuals navigating life, leadership, and meaningful transition.
Gain clarity, build resilience, and develop the awareness and tools to lead your life and work with greater alignment and confidence.
team + executive coaching
Coaching and facilitation for leaders and teams who want to strengthen their culture, communication, and collective impact.
Together we create space for honest conversations, clearer alignment, and stronger relational dynamics that help your team thrive.
relationship coaching
Support for couples, collaborators, families, or partners who want to deepen connection and navigate challenges with care.
Through guided conversations and practical tools, you’ll build healthier patterns and a shared vision for your relationship.
community consulting
Strategic support for communities, organizations, and collectives seeking healthier structures and stronger relationships.
We help you navigate complexity, clarify vision, and design systems where people and purpose can flourish.
At Our Common, we take a Whole Systems Approach.
This means that we see the relationships we hold with ourselves, others, the world around us, and the divine, as interrelated and connected. A complex relational ecosystem worthy of our care.
When we tend to our relationship with ourselves, we become more anchored, more honest, and more able to meet others with clarity and compassion.
When we nurture our relationship with each other, we’re invited back into deeper self-awareness, mutual care, and shared responsibility.
When we live in reciprocity with the land, we feel more rooted, more at peace, and more connected to the rhythms that sustain us.
And when we open ourselves to the greater whole… the web of life, mystery, or the divine… we remember that we belong to something vast and interconnected.
Each of these relationships feeds the others. Care in one place ripples outward into wellness in another.
This is the compass we use in the spaces we hold - a way of living, leading, and relating that brings us back into right relationship with the Whole.
