Welcome - you are in the right place. SFC Coaching is your place.
"Executive & Entrepreneurial Coaching for Leaders Who Think Differently"
You are a woman with oh so many ideas, skills, and so much experience. You’re already leading, already going first, already a leader. You have a style of your own, an attitude. You are ambitious, voraciously curious, wildly honest, and have a point of view; often ahead of the curve, out of time, out of step you probably grew up in somewhat unique circumstances, you’re wired a bit differently and you are looking for a unique partner who will coach, mentor, and co-create with you, outside the lines, inside the society, outside the culture. Knowing you have a special calling and vivid dreams wishes and desires.
You’re different somehow and you’re changing or transforming.
You’re no longer willing to wait. It’s now. You know who you are; you just have an…edge. You’re probably the person who people admire and say ‘I could never wear anything as bold as that’ or ‘I don’t know why you aren’t in a more senior position, or ‘Things got better after you arrived’, and yet, you feel frustration or yearning. You have succeeded where others couldn’t because you don’t fit the mould thank god. This is your advantage and it should be carefully tended to, because it can be a heavy load, this gift.
You have a vitality, a vibrant courage, an artistic spirit, a creative wellspring. You have soul.
You have found the right place.
You are Gold.
Science
What do you actually have, need, and require — right now? We get honest about the real-world stuff: taxes, laws, visas, contracts, housing, finances, health. No more vague dread. Then we take what's living in the ether — your ideas, your vision — and we make them real.
PSYCHOLOGY
Your mindset, your values, your beliefs - and what might be hiding underneath them. What do you actually want? What's your real capacity? We question assumptions, find the gaps, and open up possibilities you hadn't considered. Once your reality is clear, we go deeper - tracing where your impulse came from. The essence of it.
SPIRIT
How do you tend to your spirit? Your essence, your lineage? Where do ideas actually come from? I don't fully know either - but I know luck, coincidence, synchronicity. I know that in quiet and comfort, I access information I can't explain. It's not magic. It's just a part of life we can draw from - pull into the dreaming, the planning, the consensus reality. I'm not afraid to bring this into business coaching. To remember why you started. Why you were drawn to something in the first place. Luck, chance, muse, satori, aha. Maybe it is magic….
As my Lighthouse Circle partner, Gretchen says; who care’s if it’s real magic? LET IT BE HUGE. In coaching with me, we will let your experiences, ideas, dreams and wishes be huge.
“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.”

ALL YEAR LONG - COACHING! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by booking a FREE no-obligation Discovery call. Are you an interesting person? With interesting goals, imaginings and dreams? And are looking for a place to explore them and turn them into action?
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 your next move
Are you interesting? Do you know deep down there are many ways to lead a life? And you are living it differently. Are you called to something that feels a bit scandalous to say out loud? Ambitions, u-turns, ideas, radical relationship reno? 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 sorcerer-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 devotion, 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 honoured 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.”
