welcome to better you by sabrina ✦
I grew up as one of seven kids, raised by my mom on almost nothing. Christmas money went to school lunches. Donation bags showed up on the porch.
19-20 years of age : I was working 24hr shifts as an EMT, in college full-time on track for a nursing degree, with a 2nd job at an Italian restaurant...
No sleep. Did not take care of my body and was almost 200lbs. Binge drinking to black out any night I could to hide my severe depression, panic attacks + burn out.
I was miserable, hated my life and didn't know what to do.
My Story
From one Netflix documentary to a life I couldn't have visualized
2018 · THE RABBIT HOLE
I watched The Secret on Netflix and had one question: what if this actually worked? What if I could change my life? I spent nights reading everything I could on the power of the mind and quantum physics: Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Bruce Lipton. Some methods didn't work. A lot of them did. Within a year or two, my depression and anxiety were gone.
2019 · THE LEAP
My intuition spoke for the first time, loud and clear: "Don't go to nursing school. Start a YouTube channel." I was terrified to break out of my old life, but I took the baby steps anyway.
2021 · BETTER YOU IS BORN
I moved into a one-bedroom apartment alone, not knowing how I'd pay rent. Things kept falling into place: an unexpected promotion doubled my income, my dream friendships showed up, I started traveling more. By the end of the year, Better You was born; a holistic mental health coaching business built on law of attraction, neuroplasticity, and inner healing. My clients got off meds, cleared skin conditions, and found relationships they never thought possible.
2022 · THE BURNOUT
As the business grew, so did the pressure: guilt, anxiety, the need to prove I was worth it. I fell asleep next to an open laptop and felt shame when I didn't hit a goal. I had tools: EFT, breathwork, affirmations, visualizations, but none of it moved the overwhelm. I spent over $40,000 on mentors and courses, worked with energy healers and mindset coaches, did months of hypnosis, attended a 7-day Dr. Joe Dispenza retreat, and became a certified NLP Practitioner. Twice.
TODAY
I've built a business that doesn't require burnout or sacrifice to run. I speak on stages about the power of the mind. I've lived in San Diego, Toronto and Bali, swum with whale sharks in Mexico, gotten into the best shape of my life, and rebuilt relationships on true love and respect. Most of all, I feel more at peace than I ever have before.
My mission is to show you how to step into a life straight out of your vision board, by training your brain to align with your heart's desires. Because when you turn your dreams into reality, it makes the world a better place.
