Welcome to Nova.Studio
I’m Sara Gerlee, the founder.
At heart, I’m someone who is deeply curious about people.
I care deeply about creating spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and feel met as they are. People often describe my presence as calm and steady. I bring structure when it’s helpful, but I’m equally comfortable letting a conversation unfold in its own way.
I tend to notice what is happening beneath the surface of a conversation — not just what is being said, but what someone might be feeling or carrying quietly in the background.
So when we meet, you won’t encounter a method or a performance. You’ll meet a curious and supportive human being who genuinely wants to understand what is unfolding for you.
My path to this work didn’t begin in the coaching or healing world.
For more than 20 years, I worked in international sales and leadership, leading teams and helping businesses grow across cultures and markets. It was a career that both engaged me and challenged me, taught me a great deal, and gave me the opportunity to develop people, build strategy and navigate complex organisations.
What energised me most, however, was not success measured only in numbers, but the conversations that happened alongside the work — the moments when someone felt seen, gained a new perspective or found the confidence to move forward.
Over time, I realised that while I genuinely enjoyed leadership, strategy and building businesses, the part of the work that stayed with me longest was helping people grow. I became increasingly interested in what helps people navigate change, reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Nova.Studio grew from that realisation.
It brings together the grounded understanding I gained through years of leading people in demanding environments with the more reflective practices that helped me reconnect with myself.
Today, I value depth alongside direction, presence alongside performance, and meaningful conversations as an essential part of sustainable personal and professional growth.
If we work together, you can expect a space that is calm, respectful and attentive — where your pace is honoured and your own inner clarity has room to emerge.
‘I highly recommend Nova Studio. It was the most wonderful, calm and relaxing experience with Sara, and I left feeling refreshed, happy and completely at peace. It was wonderful! Definitely not the last time I come to Sara.’
