About Me

A woman with long brown hair smiling outdoors, wearing a white tank top that says 'Strong with Sarah' with a pink apple and two dumbbells, and black shorts.

My name is Sarah Pelc Graca, and I am a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC.)

I took the NBHWC Exam in November 2025, and scored within the top 3% of all test takers during the Nov. 2025 exam period.

I am the founder and head coach at Strong with Sarah Weight Loss Coaching. I also coach clients (one-on-one) for Precison Nutrition.

For the past decade, I have helped my clients lose weight and become healthier while still enjoying all foods, including chocolate and wine.

While I love helping my clients become healthier, I also have a passion for helping coaches become better coaches (and pass the NBHWC exam!)
