“Sarah holds a divining rod to detect the fine reverberations in the atmosphere.”

Cylinda (Lighthouse Client)

Are you feeling a call to something more than is happening for you right now?

Things are fine, good and even excellent in many ways, but you also have questions, ideas you would like to bring to fruition and dreams that continue spark your imagination. Perhaps you are feeling the call to a new job, or to start a business, alter your relationships and explore beyond your current realms and notions. You want to invest in yourself and your future in a way that examines, closely and boldly, your next steps.

We alchemise mistakes, tenderly attend to shame, insecurity, disasters and make space for iteration, evolution and generation. We examine the past and mine it for treasure, refine our stories, ook for diferent ways to tell them. We may have things to reckon with, things that we don’t necessarily want to rake over in therapy but we do want to look at, and integrate into our story and the future we are dreaming up and creating.

Science

An inventory - what is it you actually need, have and require right now. Think taxes, laws, visas, contracts, housing, finances, medical, actual real-world, consensus-reality matters. You maybe underestimated or over-estimated your financial situation, have a pleasant surprise in your contract or be able to put to bed a health concern through a simple booking of a doctor’s appointment.

PSYCHOLOGY

Your mindset, exploration of values and beliefs and uncovering of possibilities. What are your preferences? What is your capacity? Is there an intervention that might provide relief or some kind of enhancement? Could we question your current beliefs and assumptions and uncover new possibilities and potential in there? Once we establish your reality and resources, we also want to explore where your impetus emerged from…the essence

“Sarah Furuya is a super star: her coaching and emotional intelligence are off the charts amazing. She knows things long before I know them about myself. She knows people and how they operate. She is wildly encouraging but with so much good feedback to keep the ball rolling.”

Christina (Private Coaching client and writing group member)

Four trauma-aware voices gather to explore trauma’s scientific, psychological, and spiritual paths, fostering compassion and community healing.

Some stories and beliefs just don’t fit anymore.

That’s OK - you’re not a hypocrite, you’re unfolding.

The people who invest in SFC know that the play of these elements is important. But maybe you don’t have space to truly explore your intuition, instinct and gut in your workplace or family - we make so much space for it here. Scandalous instincts and impulses are explored - what if you want to just close your business, run away to the countryside and live really simply. What if you want to leave your high-paying corporate director-level job, move to a tiny flat and follow your heart and work towards a die-with-nothing plan. You were made redundant from your high-paying corporate role, and you want to start your own company but are reeling from the shock of the redundancy. Maybe you were playing amateur in your company wanted to step up and really embody your owner and founder role - you have your eye on awards, you want to make big change but you also need We can explore in the secrecy of the coaching contract.

People who are drawn to SFC are inherently interesting and understand the depths and breadth of the human experience and that they are a bit different within it. They are outrageously ambitious, yet really need more hobbies or fun on their life, they want to play big or they are are exceptionally tired and want play smaller, but create a lush, quiet life in the hills or have ADHD and other neurodivergence. Yet still, they have work to do in the world, impact to make and art to create.

They are the people at the edges. Conscious consumers combining style and sustainability, and calling in creative community. They have heart and integrity and need that coach in their corner who can imagine beyond with them yet also keep things grounded in reality. Dreams soar, plans are pulled into consensus reality, resources are found. Truths are told. Sometimes spreadsheets or investments are made and houses are built.

Coaching could be the medicine for you.

Are you interesting? Do you know deep down there are many ways to lead a life? and you are kiving it differently. Are you called to something that feels a bit scandalous to say out loud? ambitions, u-turns, ideas? Do you have stories you want to work with alongside a seasoned coach who has been super-successful, oh so corporate and a very good girl and is now a professional priestess, a gatherer of creative community and a sorcery-scientist, coaching from the hills on the edge of town near the sacred shores south of tokyo. you are probably on the edge of town too - either actually or metaphorically. my people are ceos with soul, directors with devotions, entrepreneurs with heart, business people with backbone and artists elevating their vision.

Where do people go to grieve?

Really, honestly grieve?

To the Lighthouse…

Grief is hard, really hard. Your grief is sacred and deserves to be honored and tended to with compassion in your own way, and in your own time. 

Grief can be isolating, so our mission is to hold space for people to grieve openly and honestly within a supportive community. 

Together with Gretchen Miura, we offer the Lighthouse Circle, Evergreen & Free Content to sit with you as you tend to your grief.

“I highly recommend Sarah as an executive and life coach. Sarah has worked alongside me since 2016 to help me show up in the world as a better lawyer, a better woman and a better person and leader.”

Catherine (Private coaching client)

I’ve been working with Sarah since 2017 and my investment in her coaching has more than paid for itself in monetary terms alone.

Add to that the support, the skill building, the insight, and the incredible level of care I have received, and I can’t imagine how much harder (and less fun!) life would be if I didn’t have her in my corner.”
