Firm Foundations Wellness – Mission Statement
At Firm Foundations Wellness, our mission is to help individuals rebuild their lives on a strong foundation of faith, purpose, and personal growth. We believe true wellness begins with wholeness—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally—and that through Christ, anyone can find healing, clarity, and direction.
Through faith-based coaching, compassionate support, and guided reflection, we empower individuals to discover who they are in God, release what no longer serves them, and step boldly into the life they were created to live.
Our goal is to provide a safe, judgment-free space for people to heal, grow, and thrive—one step, one prayer, and one breakthrough at a time.
“When God rebuilds your foundation, He restores your future.”
Sarah Chester, PCC, BSN, MOA
- Founder, Certified Life Coach
Hi, I’m Sarah Chester — a Certified Life Coach and lifelong believer in the power of growth, resilience, and second chances.
I didn’t grow up with many advantages. My family lived in extreme poverty, and my parents didn’t finish high school until I was an adult. But I watched them rewrite their story — my dad even went on to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Seeing his transformation taught me that no matter where you start, you can always build something stronger.
For me, that truth became real in my own life. I became a nurse and dedicated myself to caring for others, but everything changed when I was hit by a semi-truck and left with a life-altering disability. That moment could have broken me — instead, it became the foundation for a new beginning. Out of that experience, I discovered my calling to help others heal, grow, and rebuild their lives with purpose.
Today, I’m a Certified Life Coach through Trinity Western University, hold a Business Administration Certificate from the Academy of Learning in Abbotsford, BC, and am completing my Bachelor of Arts in Leadership and Psychology (Marriage & Family focus) at Trinity Western University.
Through Firm Foundations Wellness, my mission is to help others do what I had to learn to do myself — rebuild from the ground up. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges, relationship struggles, or seasons of change, my goal is to help you create a firm foundation for lasting wellness, healing, and hope. Because every strong life starts with a solid foundation — and it’s never too late to build yours.
Carley Cook, RMA (AMT)
- Co-founder, Registered Medical Assistant, Patient Advocate
Carley Cook is a Registered Medical Assistant and patient advocate. She has dedicated her life and career to helping others and advocating for them. Her passion comes from being disabled and experiencing what it is like to be gaslit and dismissed by medical providers. Carley is the founder of AKG Advocacy, a non-profit that helps educate and empowers them to advocate for themselves.
Carley’s journey into healthcare was deeply personal. After being dismissed and gaslit by doctors for over two decades, she was finally diagnosed with a genetic connective tissue disorder at age 23. That experience lit a fire — not just to advocate for herself, but to ensure others wouldn’t have to navigate the same confusing, frustrating system alone.
Her mission has always been simple: help people however she can. Whether working directly with patients or educating herself on the ins and outs of insurance, she’s committed to empowering others with the tools they need to speak up and get the care they deserve.
