For Those Whose Decisions Matter.

Birch Cove provides private and advisory support for individuals and organizations operating under sustained pressure and responsibility, with a core focus on optimizing the body and nervous system that carry that demand.

This work is for people who understand that clarity, judgement, and performance are not just personal concerns - they shape outcomes, teams, organizations, and the wider systems they operate within. When decisions carry consequence, internal capacity matters.

Why Birch Cove

Sustained performance is not driven by willpower or mindset alone. It depends on physiological resilience, nervous system regulation, and the ability to recover and adapt under ongoing demand.

Birch Cove’s work is informed by lived experience operating in high-pressure environments, including corporate leadership and founder-led, investor-backed businesses.

When the body and nervous system are supported, clarity sharpens and decisions are made from steadiness rather than strain. When they are depleted, even strong strategy erodes over time.

Birch Cove exists to support the internal foundations required to operate well - consistently, responsibly, and over the long term.

Who This is For

  • Individuals who operate at a high level and intend to sustain it

  • Leaders and decision-makers whose work affects others

  • People who treat health and regulation as strategic assets

  • Organizations that recognize performance depends on internal capacity

  • This is not crisis support or motivational coaching. It is deliberate, professional support for those who carry responsibility

  • This work is best suited to those who combine external responsibility with internal regulation, and who are comfortable engaging with both visible outcomes and the deeper layers that support them

How This Works

  • Support is provided through private and advisory engagements

  • Sessions integrate health coaching and energy balancing to address the physiological and regulatory demands of operating under sustained pressure

  • The work is precise and outcome-driven, with discussion and analysis used deliberately to support insight, regulation, and tangible shifts. All engagements are conducted with care, discretion, and professionalism

What Changes

Many clients report:

  • Greater clarity under pressure

  • More consistent energy and recovery

  • Fewer cycles of overdrive and depletion

  • A stronger sense of internal coherence when decisions matter

  • As internal regulation and capacity strengthen, clients often notice shifts in how they relate to others and how they engage with opportunities - responding with greater steadiness, discernment, and range.

  • Not transformation for its own sake - but capacity that lasts

  • "Sarah has an incredible ability to tune into what my whole body was trying to communicate beyond my conscious awareness. I had been dealing with both emotional and physical blockages that left me struggling to fall asleep — something that’s never usually an issue for me. A series of small, stressful moments had built up over a week, leaving me feeling completely out of balance. During our session, Sarah gently pieced together what was going on, and everything she shared resonated deeply. At one point, she mentioned that my body was indicating exposure to radon — something that surprised us both. Out of curiosity, we looked it up and discovered that the area I’d just returned from on a work trip has dangerously high levels of radon. The accuracy of her insights were astonishing. After a week of relying on sleeping pills just to get some rest, that night I finally slept a full eight hours naturally. I woke up feeling calm, safe, and genuinely happy to be in bed again. The session felt like a total reset — exactly what I needed. I’m sure I would have found my way back eventually, but without Sarah’s guidance, it would have taken much longer and caused a lot more worry. I’m so grateful that her work helped me restore balance so quickly and prevented the stress from spilling into my daily life."

    Jem, Founder - New York City

  • “Sarah is an inspiring coach. From my first moment with Birch Cove, I felt deeply supported and in good hands. We talked through what I wanted to accomplish - which was improving gut health with the aim of decreasing stress and improving well being. Sarah worked with me to come up with a comprehensive and achievable plan that addressed nutrition, inflammation and helped rebalance my body which for years had born the heavy burden of an intense and stressful job. She was thoughtful, deeply knowledgeable and her guidance swiftly resulted in changes that I’ve been able to sustain. I credit her with some of the most significant improvements in my adult health - and whole-heartedly recommend her for her intelligent and non-judgmental guidance every step of the way.”

    Elizabeth, Corporate Senior Executive - New York

  • “Sarah Parkins comes to this with a wide-ranging background and deep experience, not to mention serious study, training, and passion. Consequently, she's able to provide guidance, insights, and assistance for nearly everyone, no matter where they are at in their personal lives or careers. She has a unique ability to inspire - not with empty platitudes, but with clear vision, and actionable steps. She is simply a joy to work with, and she gets real results. I'll be continuing to consult with Sarah on a range of topics, and I know I'll continue to benefit from knowledge and wisdom.”

    David, Communications and Marketing Lead - England

  • “Sarah is a gifted health coach who works intuitively and compassionately. She has given me insight and direction and made me feel truly understood. I am grateful for her guidance in my health journey. I highly recommend Sarah.”

    Kirsten, Founder - Connecticut

  • "Sarah has a gift for helping you reconnect with purpose/mission, to find a sense of balance that’s sustainable – and perhaps more peaceful. What's THAT worth? Sarah’s integrative health approach is genuine, attentive, and effective. She has a way of guiding you through pathways that might feel daunting or abstract on your own, but with her support, they become insightful and manageable. Equally important – they become ACTIONABLE."

    Alex - Financial Advisor - New York

  • "I can't believe how different I feel! This emotion code work is real. I struggled with severe anxiety and working with Birch Cove for a series of sessions has made a big difference. I recommend sessions for EVERYONE!"

    Jennifer, Founder - Los Angeles

  • “Sarah's work came to me just at the right time. I was focusing on some self-development and I knew there were some emotions I had been finding it hard to shift and were getting in my way of making progress.  Sarah has the most empathetic and warm presence, I immediately felt at ease in our first session. She explained everything to me before and throughout the process and what I should expect to experience. After our first session I noticed a big difference. The emotions we addressed no longer had the same 'charge'. I could reflect on memories without the usual reactions I had in my body. I highly recommend working with Sarah if you want a gentle and light-touch way to support your performance.”

    - Alison, Founder - London

  • Meeting with Sarah Parkins came at the perfect time. I was feeling stretched thin - navigating a career transition while trying to stay on top of my health and finances. Sarah created a calm, supportive space that helped me untangle what was weighing me down and see a clearer path forward. Her thoughtful questions and grounding presence helped me reconnect with my values and make choices from a place of alignment, not overwhelm. I left our session feeling lighter, more focused, and with real tools to support my next steps - not just professionally, but across all parts of my life.

    Megha, Media Executive - California

  • "Working with Sarah is a truly grounding and transformative experience. From the moment we began, I feel safe to open up and explore deeply personal emotional struggles. She holds space without judgment—gently guiding, deeply listening, and always honoring where I am. Her calm presence and intuitive care continue to help me feel supported. Whether we’re doing Emotion Code work or general Well-Being sessions, I always walk away with more clarity, lightness, and alignment. Sarah is someone I trust completely and return to as life ebbs and flows. Her commitment to helping others heal and thrive is evident in every session."

    Mia, Family Operations Director - South Carolina
