YOU KNOW WHAT'S UP.
You’ve done your research and have plenty of ideas about what you “should” be doing for your health. Taking action is a different story.
The science is clear. We know what helps people "get healthy", right?
- Eat more fruits and vegetables, adequate protein, water, fiber, and healthy fat
- Take time for heart-pumping, muscle-boosting exercise
- Stretch and brush your teeth
- Sleep well
- Get a financial safety net, a low-stress job, sunlight, fresh air, supportive relationships, preventative healthcare, and you'll be all set! 👀
If only doing all of that was easy! But it’s not.
YOU (AND YOUR WILLPOWER) ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
The problem is the way we’ve been taught to approach change.
Perhaps you’ve followed a few (or a few dozen) diet and fitness plans telling you what to eat and how to exercise, but instead of helping you feel better, those plans leave you discouraged, disconnected from your body, and exhausted by dieting and emotional eating.
If that’s the case, blame the plan, not yourself.
Strict, one-size-fits-all wellness plans are oppressive and tone deaf. They don’t take you, the things you love, or your life into account.
Everyone's coping skills and health and fitness styles are different. No two people are the same, and what motivates you to make lasting changes will be deeply personal.
TRADITIONAL “WELLNESS PLANS” REQUIRE YOU TO RESTRICT YOURSELF.
They tell you to limit or control reliable tools you’ve used to manage stress in the past. Ice cream, anyone?
Limiting access to sources of relief when you're stressed out makes most people frustrated, rebellious, and very likely to turn back to the old, unhealthy habits they're trying to quit.
I have been working with compassionate, creative, intelligent people for over 20 years, and I can tell you that most people don’t need more rules to “get healthy.”
They need to know their own bodies, understand stress, and build specific, personalized tools to feel energetic, grounded, clear-headed, and at ease.
If You Find Yourself Asking:
“Why can't I just stick with the habits I know would make me stronger?"
“Why do I keep eating things that make me feel awful later?”
“What do I do when cravings hit? I want it, but I also don't.”
Let’s turn the page on this situation—once and for all.
This course will help you work with your impulses instead of against them, to meet your needs and adjust as they change over time.

CLICK BELOW TO WATCH THIS FIRST!
RELIEF BY DESIGN offers a flexible, personalized roadmap to identify your unique needs and meet them with targeted, healing reinforcements.
Two decades of helping people break free of emotional eating and respond effectively to stress triggers have shown me that the problem isn’t you, it’s the miserable way we’ve all been taught to tackle change.
"I'm finally at peace with food.
Everything is falling into place for me. This course is the final frontier. It's so nice not to be obsessed with when and what to eat anymore!"
"I delighted in the idea I could connect health with pleasure.
I don't have to approach change with a grim sense of discipline anymore!"
"I felt such a kinship with Sarah after taking this course.
She does such a wonderful job working with difficult concepts. I have no doubt she has changed the lives of many people."
How It Works
1. Quirks And Cravings Show The Way
In this course, quirks are celebrated, and impulsive moments are not disasters. Combined, they are the roadmap to effective solutions.
2. Response Not Restriction
Restrictive, generic rules can box you in, but the skills to identify your specific needs and respond to them with care and generosity can set you free for the rest of your life.
3. Nothing Happens In A Vacuum
Environment and community play a huge role in well-being. Recognizing how these influences impact your health and when you can or can't influence them clarifies your next steps.
4. Establish Personalized Healing Routines
Learn how to build a reliable practice of healing reinforcements you'd fight for.
5. Fluidity Over Rigidity
Things change, and static solutions don't flex—so they break. The consistency here is you: what you need and what gets you fired up. The best guidebook you've got for how to heal is your own body. Learn how to flex with it, and you're set.

Sarah Hays Coomer
Like you, I am a lot of things.
I’m a Mayo Clinic-and National Board-certified health coach, columnist for Forbes Health, National Strength and Conditioning Association certified personal trainer, freelance journalist, speaker, and author of three books.
I’m a mom to one kid and two dogs and a champion of every human being's right to be in their body unapologetically and without fear of discrimination.
I’m also a person who struggled for over a decade with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and chronic pain. I know how it feels to be at war with your body and food, and I know how to find the way out.
I have spent the past 20 years—in private and group coaching, books and articles, university, non-profit, and corporate workshops—helping people put down the weapons of war against their own bodies and build an entirely different approach to health and healing.
The solution is not control and manipulation. It is kindness and generosity—rooted in evidence-based research, creativity, and exploration.
If you want a prescriptive diet plan, there are plenty on the market. Relief By Design is something different. It’s for free-spirits and nonconformists who are ready to step out of diet jail and into the light.
Questions & Answers
You know how it feels when you complete a big to-do item at work, like implementing a new system or protocol? It’s done, and the results of that accomplishment make life easier. That’s how wellness changes should feel, too.
Making changes can be challenging. They take time and can feel awkward at first, but if the steps along the way come from your actual life, the things you care about and the way your body feels, new routines will feel more like a relief than a struggle. That shift changes everything, and you can use the personalized systems in this course to keep building from there.
If weight loss is a goal, this course can help you make enduring lifestyle changes that can reduce your body weight over time. The extent of those changes is up to you. Some will be easily within reach. Other environmental, hormonal, or genetic factors may not be within your control. Often, I find clients will lose small amounts (for example, 10 or 15 pounds) before reassessing if additional changes are needed or wanted. However, keep in mind that your situation will be unique. If you need additional support after completing the course, private coaching is an option, depending on availability.
Absolutely. Stress and overwhelm have a huge impact on health, longevity, and quality of life. This course is specifically designed to help you build effective, non-negotiable coping skills that you can adapt and utilize for the rest of your life.
Each module is less than 12 minutes long, and you will have the option to watch them in video form or listen to audio. Worksheets and interactive tools can be completed on your own time, but a central value of this course is weaving changes into your existing schedule. Depending on your goals, you should be able to feel benefits without a large time commitment.
This course can be taken solo, with a friend, or in a group. The approach around making healthy changes may be quite different from traditional approaches, so having companions who are speaking your language can be very helpful, but it's not necessary. You will each need your own enrollment to fully access the course.
