Sandra Possing

A few months ago when I was in the midst of transitioning between jobs, I felt like I was suddenly at a loss for what I really wanted to do next. I was interviewing widely and not really feeling excited by the job opportunities. Normally I feel pretty self-​aware and wasn’t sure if I could benefit from meeting with an exec coach, but after working with Sandra, I know that it was a fantastic decision. Through the process, she facilitated self-​discovery by asking the right questions at the right time. She nudged me toward being more authentic and honest with the things I wanted. What I most appreciate about her is that she takes a holistic approach that delves deep into my intrinsic motivations and factors in not just what I want short term, but my longer term aspirations. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Sandra is great! She is patient, caring and makes you feel good about yourself and your potential! Thank you, Sandra!

I have worked with Sandra both for life coaching and physical training. I can not say enough good things about her and the help she has given me. Sandra has an incredible light about her and when I am with her, doing either coaching or training, that bright light provides great support to me. I am able to be fully grounded in who I am and what I want to do. It is a powerful gift and I am appreciative to know Sandra.

At a very disorienting time in my life, Sandra was a catalyst for proactive change.
Sandra speaks the truth but does so with compassion, grace, and humor.
She radiates authenticity and passion and her goal is for you to do the same.
I do feel like I’ve found a genuine coach, someone who will nudge me down the untraveled road and celebrate even the tiniest of victories.
I am grateful she is open to remote coaching– I moved out of town but still plan on working together.
Since you’re researching life coaches, contact Sandra. It’s been a great match for me and I hope the same is true for you!

Sandra is a passionate and infectious ray of sunshine! I spoke with many career/​life coaches when I was in a place of needing a helpful kick in the behind to help get some clarity on my goals as well as get my wheels in motion. After our initial call, I knew Sandra would be the perfect fit and decided to work solely with her. As soon as we met, I was inspired. She’s real with you in a way that is genuine, honest and caring. Her passion for what she does is practically tangible. You can tell she is driven by her own goal to help you pursue your passion or dreams — or help you figure out what those might be in the first place!
She was wonderful in helping me peel away layers in order to figure out how I got stuck in my «rut» and was quick to develop a plan to help me create a stronger foundation and from there build things back up. Sandra always had activities, ideas or homework ideas that truly got me thinking and made me dig deep. She was the coach in my boxing ring ready to supply whatever help, motivation or advice I might need given the situation or struggle I was up against.
Sandra was a breath of fresh air during a rough time and I couldn’t be more grateful for her inspiration, motivation and guidance!

Sandra is straightforward. She is positive. She is an inspiration and not in that ‘Damn that is impressive but there is NO way will I be able to meditate/​exercise/​read/​accomplish that much’ but more in a ‘hey life is messy, fun, awesome and lets sort through what makes you YOU to live the best way you can.’ I recommend her 6 month makeover to ANYONE in a transitional period (which, let’s be real — happens a LOT), anyone feeling disconnected from their true self, or just wanting to BE BETTER!

I’ve had 2 sessions with Sandra so far, and they have both been great. I feel comfortable talking to her about pretty much anything. She listens and helps me analyze/​clarify/​improve different areas of my life without imparting any judgement. I love that she’s open-​minded, positive and perceptive.
I also love how flexible she is about sessions. You can sign up for a one time session, or weekly sessions, or sporadic sessions. Some life coaches require that you commit to a package of multiple sessions, which can get really expensive. And even though I signed up for a 1 hour session, I appreciated how Sandra would let the session end organically even if it went over an hour and never made me feel rushed or cut off. I definitely recommend her if you are considering life coaching.

If I could give her 10 stars I would! So f-​ing awesome, and not preachy or annoying at all! Just straight to the point and really supportive and encouraging and so lovely and great to work with! And highly efficient! Like, seriously, no joke! Within maybe 10 sessions I already noticed HUGE changes and advancements in the areas of my life that were critical to me. We all want to be happy and lead better lives, but when you’re a bitter bitch and a hard core realist like me, that’s not so easy ;), but it’s possible! It’s within reach! Whaaaa?! :D Where has she been all my life?! I should have started working with her ages ago! I totally would have had less wrinkles now. :) hahaha!
And what’s awesome is that you can fully quantify and track the changes and progress that you’ve made! You have your own map of different spheres of your life that you’d like to improve upon, so you know that it’s not just bs, it’s real progress.
I fully get that there are many skeptics out there, and I hear ya, b/​c I’m the same way, but when it’s real and it’s good, you must acknowledge it. I am so much happier after having worked with Sandra. I owe her big time and she knows it! ;) haha!
Mark my words: She’ll change your life in ways that you have always wanted but never thought that you could. She’ll help you and guide you to let your inner awesomeness shine, and god damn it, it feels great!
I vouch for her fully and unreservedly! Sandra’s da bomb. Done.
Mad respect girl, thank you, thank you, thank you! :*

I met Sandra in 2008 when she attended a blogging class I was teaching. We connected on social media and watched each others’ careers evolve. As my career took an unexpected turn, I remembered Sandra just completed her coaching certification so I reached out to see if she could help me. What a great move that was!
Sandra is an amazing person just to be around and she’s even more amazing as a coach. Her intuition and ability to zero in on the issues helped me get clear on which direction I needed to go. She helped me get out of my head so my heart could guide me in the right direction. After just a few coaching sessions my new career was off and running and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Sandra!

Sandra is like a ray of sunshine + a kick in the butt all at the same time. She has an enthusiasm for life, a passion for people, and a belief in the life you can create for yourself that is inspiring and infectious.
Just being around her for 5 minutes will get you one step closer to your dreams. Anyone looking to innovate, achieve, be, love, grow, or all in all find happiness with where you and where you are going, Sandra is your secret weapon !!!
Can’t recommend her enough.

Sandra has helped me in so many ways over the past 3 months. I feel like I «woke up» from a long, deep slumber when I started participating in coaching sessions with her! No joke — the lightbulb finally went on in so many areas of my life.
I’ve become more conscious of the present moment and have learned to feel my emotions and fears and then strategically work through them. I’ve started to recognize old habits that don’t serve me as as result of my work with Sandra. The self-​awareness and skills she has helped me develop are definitely improving my personal and professional life. I feel happier and healthier than ever.
Sandra has given me a whole toolbox full of tools to use for the rest of my life to help me combat self-​doubt and anxiety. What a gift! For each challenging situation I encounter, I now have a specific tool I can use to calmly work my way through it.
She helps me dig deeply into who I am and who I want to be by posing interesting questions. She also takes me through hands-​on exercises, designs personalized homework and challenges for me to complete, all in the spirit of helping me step outside my comfort zone to achieve my goals. What’s great about Sandra is how real she is. She doesn’t sugar coat, she doesn’t judge — she connects with you and helps you create a step-​by-​step road map to get you where you want to be. I love it.
I love meeting Sandra at different coffee shops around the city. She’s flexible and always there for me, even when we’re not meeting in person. I really feel like she’s a coach who is in my corner. If you’re looking for ways to improve yourself, reach goals you never thought you could reach and have fun doing it, life coaching with Sandra is the way to go.

Hi life coach searchers! Rest assured, your search is over — you have come to the right place.
I met with Sandra weekly for 6 months straight, and now sporadically as it allows with our schedules. It is a year ago to the day today that Sandra responded to my confused cry for help and guidance. I re-​read my email asking for help and am blown away by where I am at now, and its all because that email was even sent. I am a completely different person than I was, and I am definitely still working towards my dream — self, but I leaps and bounds from where I was a year ago.
Sandra is the most compassionate, caring human, who truly cares about each of her clients in a deep way. She has been my rock, and through our coaching, taught me to become my own rock.
Coaching with Sandra has been more than I could ever imagined. Its astounding to see where I have come, and what I have accomplished due to her. Its HER! She’s beyond amazing in every way you need her to be. She is so easy to talk to, and talk at, communicate your needs to. Her energy and love for life, is so inspiring and exciting to know you are going into a meeting with her.
One of my favorite things about her is that she embraces all of you. Every emotion, every mood you are in, every aspect of your being, she embraces and dedicates her time to. In this life, things get so busy and so many people weigh in on so many different aspects of our lives without even realizing it — and to have another human care so much — and trust me, she truly cares — and focus her time and energy on you, is such a blessing.
After a few months I would come to an issue, and put myself in a meeting with her, and think about we would handle it together, and then I would do that.
Its like fighting a battle with your biggest fan in your corner at all times, no matter what.
My life has drastically changed in almost every way I was hoping for, and I feel like a completely refreshed, focused version of myself. Its scary actually to think where I would be had I not chosen to start coaching with her. Im astounded at how far I have come, and the changes I have made. I am so eternally grateful to Sandra, I would, and will speak to anyone, anytime about her.
I can breathe again. And I owe that to her.

I’ve been meeting with Sandra for over two months now and I can’t say enough good things about my experience. My intention for meeting with Sandra was to find clarity around my career situation and to get help setting priorities in my life. From the very first session she created a comfortable and non-​judgmental space where I felt at ease sharing personal details and opening up about my challenges and goals.
Each session I’ve had has been unpredictable and has always led to new ground. Sandra has this amazing ability to let me discover at my own pace and take the conversation where I want to go while simultaneously pushing me out of my comfort zone and instigating new ways of thinking. I always leave feeling rejuvenated, confident and inspired to push myself in new ways. Sandra is professional, shows up on time and is committed to following-​up and checking-​in.
I also appreciate Sandra’s sense of humor. She is one of the most happy and positive people I’ve met, enjoyable to be around and always has me laughing. Seeing her is definitely a highlight of my week. She’s become more than a coach but a great friend as well.

Sandra is an enthusiastic, passionate, wonderfully open and honest, driven and dynamic person. Working with Sandra helped me identify what was important in my life and how to navigate the changes I needed to make to be truly happy.
She listens to you, challenges you, inspires you and only offers counsel that counts.
Thanks Sandra — you rock my world and I am happier and healthier because you are in my life!

I’m not quite sure how else to put this: Sandra is an amazing human being. I truly believe that what she is doing now is the reason she was put on this earth. One session with her changed my life, and it’s really that simple.
As a client be ready to dig deep within yourself and have your world rocked. And sometimes this is difficult, stirring up things that can be hard to confront. But I promise, you will come out on the other side more inspired, more passionate, and more in touch with whatever your own personal version of happiness may be.
If you’re still on the fence about life coaching with Sandra, get off it. Just take that leap. Trust me, it will be worth it in the end. And you can thank me later :)

I tried Sandra’s Basic Training outdoor bootcamp class on the recommendation of quite a few people that know me well. I am a yogini who loves a great sweat but running, jumping and getting really dirty is not my usual style.
However, I do enjoy a fun party, which is exactly what Sandra’s classes feel like. A well planned soirée in which each guest is considered and made to feel welcome and important.
A born leader and fantastic hostess Sandra keeps her group connected through introductions, games and a lot of laughter, while pushing each person to his or her limits with a challenging kick butt workout.
I discovered with Sandra’s guidance and encouragement that my limit was well beyond what I thought I could handle. Who knew? She did.
If you’re looking for a diverse, challenging and fun workout with a super knowledgeable, dedicated teacher with a wicked sense of humor go find Sandra Possing.

Sandra is fantastic! She totally kicks my ass while somehow making it a load of fun and I keep going back for more.
After a mere 4 weeks, I’ve had people commenting on how different and more toned I look. Good stuff! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Sandra is an excellent instructor. I attended Sandra’s sessions through her work at BasicTraining SF so had a group type class.
During workouts, Sandra has managed to find the perfect balance between being caring and being firm at the same time. She has an uncanny ability to tell when we are going slow because we are being lazy and should push ourselves more and when we are going slow because we’ve pushed ourselves as hard as we can go. I think it is nice when instructors can push you to attain your personal best rather than pushing you in reference to other people in the class. Sandra does this well and I think this is a very positive way to motivate people.
I think the exercises are diverse and challenging but at the same time Sandra always gives us modifications for our various injuries which I think is exceptional.
Sandra has a wonderful personality and has fostered a welcoming and fun environment. I think Sandra has the ability to recognize that fitness is not just about how many push ups you can do, but there are so many reasons for wanting to achieve physical fitness, health, healing, goal setting etc. She is knowledgeable about other health aspects such as physical therapy, good places to get massages etc. which I have found very helpful.
Most importantly, I feel like her sessions are a warm and welcoming place to be where I feel challenged and good about myself. And who are we kidding, we want look to hot! My body has never looked better.
