Hi, I’m Sandy.

When I’m not coaching, you can find me submerged in nature, at the beach and always with a cup of coffee in hand.

I enjoy walking and biking and spending time with my children and our dog Bosco, who was a source of comfort during a very difficult time.

I met my husband in 2004 when I gave my heart to Jesus at a church one of my coworkers brought me to. It was the best day of my life! As my husband and I began dating, I felt I had found my best friend. We had great chemistry and enjoyed dreaming of what our life would look like years down the road. We were engaged within 6 months and married 6 months after that. I married the man of my dreams and truly believed God gave me a gift.

A year into our marriage I had a shocking discovery…and it was when my heart was shattered and broken into pieces. This was the beginning of multiple discoveries with each one hurting me more and more. With each discovery, I could feel my self worth and inner strength dissipating. My anxiety was at an all time high and I thought I was going crazy. I was trying to find safety in a relationship that was not safe nor trustworthy. I felt so alone and misunderstood. During this time, there was no one talking about sex addiction or betrayal trauma. No one knew how to help us or understood the impact my husbands addiction had on me and our family. I didn’t know what I was experiencing was betrayal trauma. It took us years to finally find the right help and support which we were very thankful for!

We have been in active recovery since 2017 working on healing and the restoration of our marriage. My husband and I both lead support groups for men struggling with unwanted sexual behaviours and for women affected by sexual betrayal. I am an IPEC Certified Professional Life Coach as well as a betrayal trauma and recovery partner coach ( APSATS trained )

It is an honor to journey with each of my clients and offer hope and healing.

My hope was found in the promises of God. In particular this promise found in Hosea 2:15

“ I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.”

You see, when God gave me this promise everything changed for me. I now began to see the purpose in the pain. I heard God say that He would transform all my troubles into a gateway of hope. I knew that God was going to bring ashes into beauty… and that He wasn’t done with our story!

It was this hope that gave me strength every day to continue on. Once I knew there was a purpose, I could then continue to trust the process. I could put my trust in Him and Him alone.

It hasn’t been all unicorns and rainbows and it has taken a lot of work to get to where we are today, but I can say that God has been faithful and He is a good God, a loving Father.
