Vertical First's mission is to bring awareness to our thoughts. Our thoughts are literally shaping our lives. Once we realize that we can only control the things within our control (our thoughts, feelings, and actions) that we can truly be and do anything, we will be set free. Change is difficult and often uncomfortable. But nothing changes when nothing changes. Ask yourself, how much longer are you willing to stay exactly where you are?

"It's time to stop wishing and start doing, nothing changes when nothing changes."

Client Testimony


Holding a daily Thank You Practice is one of the fastest ways that you can begin to shift your mindset!

Movement


It is ESSENTIAL that we move our bodies DAILY! Not all exercise has to look like exercise.

Water. Food. It Matters.


We have to be conscious of the things we are (or aren't) putting into our bodies. (This is NOT limited to food either. Think about the things you watch on TV, the music you listen to, and even the people that you hang out with). Everything that comes into us has a way of making itself a part of us. What are you allowing to be a part of you?

Hi, I’m Serena :)


I am the founder of the life coaching business, Vertical First. It is my goal to open the 4th quadrant of knowledge to others- we don't know what we don't know.

Maintaining a certain level of curiosity and questioning of the world around us is essential to not only our survival but to our peace and contentment as well.

I have helped women to come out of darkness and into the light, opening their minds to the possibilities that their worlds too can be beautiful and curated. I've helped women to create routines based on their overall life goals, giving them hope, confidence, and self appreciation to carry them through.

I believe that my neuro divergence is a gift that allows me to see beyond the construct of societal norms, and I am devoted to bringing others into their own realities too!
