About Dr. Sarah Swan
Success shouldn’t cost you yourself.
Her story
Dr. Sarah Swan’s path into health began on the stage. Growing up in Los Angeles, she trained as a dancer seven days a week, until a traumatic jump landing in high school ended her performance career. Through surgery and a long rehabilitation, she saw how often traditional approaches fail high performers: extreme plans, misinformation, and standards that undermine both health and performance.
She turned that recovery into a mission. Today, through Sea & Snow Holistic Wellness, she brings science-backed, sustainable care to executives, legal professionals, and leadership teams through coaching, consulting, and the stage.
Speaking and Teaching
Dr. Swan has spoken and taught at LA Business Journal, Provisors, Santa Monica College, and Lawyer groups. She has also taught first-year medical students at the University of Utah how to integrate health coaching into clinical practice. She is currently teaching courses on Human Sexuality, Substance Abuse, and Stress Management at the University of Utah. Her keynotes and workshops translate behavioral science into tools leaders can use the next morning.

Outside of work
The name Sea & Snow comes from Sarah’s own story. She grew up in Los Angeles spending every summer at the beach, then moved to Utah for college and fell in love with the mountains and skiing. Today she’s happiest outside, whether she’s hiking a trail, carving down a slope, or back by the ocean.
In the kitchen, she cooks with whatever fresh vegetables each season brings. Her favorite cuisine is Indian food, which gets complicated when you’re allergic to tomatoes.
Her mornings are slow by design: stretching or yoga when she can, and always a matcha latte. She works alongside her two cats and favorite co-workers, Finn and Tux. And she practices what she teaches: every session has a buffer built around it, so she can be fully present with each person without watching the clock.
