About Sabrina Vogler

We All Have a Story to Tell.
How I Became a Mindfulness Coach.
Confucius once wrote that we have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.
Once I realized that second life was knocking on my door, I turned the knob, opened it wide, and never looked back.
ROUND ONE.
The first go at my second life began in the late nineties.
On impulse, I’d signed up for a mindfulness class after staring at the embossed leaf print flyer every time I rode the elevator at work.
Eight weeks later, I’d experienced a depth of inner calm unlike anything I’d ever known.
It was like I’d finally come home to my body in a way I didn’t know was possible.
There was a gentle poise that carried me through the crazy stress of it all.
I knew then I’d no longer settle for a stretched-so-thin version of myself who ended every day in tears.
I learned how to ask for what I really needed.
I found a place to heal that was deep within myself.
My daily mindfulness practice nourished me like a one-stop power-packed nutrition bar.
I truly feel the best gift I've received is the privilege of working with Sabrina.
She has helped me through many things I have struggled with my whole life, as well as seeing that ‘I'm not the only one.’ She is kind, caring, authentic and very knowledgeable. The environment she provides is warm and welcoming. I can honestly say I feel such a positive change in my life since I've starting my coaching sessions with her.
A Second Life Begins.
ROUND TWO.
Fast forward a decade to the next chapter in my Second Life.
It happened one pivotal moment after I caught a glimpse of a woman’s face in my hallway mirror.
She looked haggard. Exhausted. Distraught.
Definitely not okay on any possible level.
This reflection in the mirror stopped me in my tracks.
My twin sons were toddlers at the time, and they’d see that expression on their mama’s face right before falling asleep.
I knew something had to give.
Night after night, I dreaded that moment when my head hit the pillow and it would start all over again:
All the parenting choices failing to meet the mark.
All the reasons why I wasn’t living up to some idealized version of “perfect.”
It was a long road to get pregnant in the first place, and now here I was making a colossal mess of it all and wracked in MomGuilt.
I couldn’t measure up to my own standards, and my Inner Critic was more than aware of it.
I knew I needed to find a way to stop being so hard on myself.
I knew if that something didn’t change sooner rather than later, I’d look back on those essential years with deep regret.
Working with Sabrina has been one of the most healing experiences of my life.
She is an amazing listener who reflects back and then provides guidance and wisdom. She has accompanied me to great insights, opening my mind, heart and soul to new, healthier, more insightful and mindful ways of being. I am so grateful for my time with her, and highly recommend her.
SEEING THE WORLD THROUGH NEW EYES.
And then came the cracking open.
When I stumbled across the teachings of self-compassion, they caused an earthquake of sorts in my life.
And THAT led to a multi-year string of events I could never have predicted.
Fast forward to now: this moment that I get to spend with you today.
Those very lessons I learned the hard way? They now play a central role in my work as a coach.
Because I find nothing more inspiring than guiding a woman as I witness her life cracking open.
That powerful moment when you wake up to the sight of your No Regrets Life is the reason why I am here.
Through 1:1 coaching and programs, I now support women like me who long to meet those high standards without being so hard on themselves.
This Experience Was Life Changing.
Sabrina opens and welcomes emotions, feelings, experiences without judgment and with compassion… This experience was life changing for me and I will be forever grateful for her gift.
