Sara McGlothlin, Staying the Course

When you feel called to create, it's time to patiently navigate and stay the course. From boundaries to resistance and getting out of your own way, Cathy and Sara McGlothlin chat about the creation of her company, Gratisfied.

Sara is a holistic nutritionist, health writer, wellness entrepreneur and yoga/fitness teacher based in Richmond, VA. For years she has been coaching clients on the importance of holistic health and nutrition. Her practice is inspired by her passion of educating others how to live healthier lives. She understands that when it comes to health, there is no “one-size-fits-all;” therefore, she uses an individual, informative and supportive approach to help guide clients to achieve their goals and make sustainable changes. In her practice, she primarily focuses on areas such as weight loss, emotional eating, food intolerances, digestive issues, and increasing feelings of energy and overall well-being.

In early January 2019, after publishing her first cookbook, she and her husband Alex launched their natural foods company, Gratisfied, fueled by their desire to make more of an impactful change in the packaged food space. Gratisfied is founded on the mission that there can be a world where nutrition and convenience co-exist.

Before obtaining her certification as a holistic nutrition consultant, she worked in sales and marketing in both the banking and natural foods industries. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Economics, and received her Masters in Elementary Education from Mary Baldwin College.
