Philosophy:

Sarah helps women in New York City and all over the country fall in love with their bodies, and she is on a mission to change the way brides prepare for their wedding.  She believes that too many women feel pressure to starve themselves for months just to be thin and perfect for one day… only to feel stressed, depleted and ready to gain all the weight back on the honeymoon.

A seasoned nutrition coach, Sarah brings her expertise in helping women cultivate their ideal body and life to the bridal community.  She feels that brides are in a very unique and complicated time in their lives and need support around health and lifestyle more than ever.

Sarah Jenks is not your typical nutrition coach.  She believes that the true secret to lasting health is not to create foolproof diet plans and spend hours discussing the importance of working out, but to examine the reasons behind each woman’s choice of what she eats.  Our relationships, career, pleasure, confidence, history and our connection with our bodies all create our relationship with food.  Sarah believes that you can talk about the benefits of broccoli until you are blue in the face, but real change won’t happen until we pull back the veil of fad diets and calorie counting to reveal the true cause of our over eating.

Besides talking about food Sarah also enjoys: meditating, booty shakin’, the dog park, maple syrup, canoeing, wedding design, warm chocolate chip cookies, domino magazine (RIP), heirloom tomatoes, Marianne Williamson, french linen, decaf almond milk lattes, my red creuset, champagne, jorts, anthropologie, yogi tea tags, singing, Geneen Roth, running down the hudson, getting people to spill their guts, clapping, unity, farmer’s markets.
