Inspired by Pura Vida, Driven by Love
Hi, I’m Sarah—Registered Nurse, wellness advocate, and co-founder of Pure Life Wellness Journey. Alongside my husband Orlando, our two energetic little ones, and our very spoiled dog Socks, we created this space to inspire a more balanced, intentional way of living.
The name Pure Life comes from the Costa Rican phrase pura vida, which literally means “pure life”—but its true meaning goes much deeper. It’s a mindset rooted in gratitude, simplicity, and living fully in the moment. In Costa Rica, pura vida is more than a saying—it’s a way of life.
Orlando, who’s originally from Costa Rica, brought this beautiful philosophy into our family. Coming from a fast-paced, often stressful culture here in the U.S., I was deeply inspired by the idea of slowing down and truly enjoying life’s everyday moments. Together, we try to weave pura vida into everything we do—and now, we’re sharing that journey with you.
So whether you're just beginning your wellness path or looking to deepen it—welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.

Blending Clinical Expertise with Holistic Health
With a solid clinical foundation and years of hands-on experience, I integrate evidence-based medical knowledge with a holistic perspective to support individuals in achieving and sustaining optimal health.
Beyond my role as a nurse, I’m a passionate advocate for healthy living. I actively explore and share insights on nutrition, stress management, physical activity, and lifestyle medicine—because I believe wellness should be accessible, practical, and empowering for everyone.
Whether in high-pressure clinical environments or one-on-one settings, I’m dedicated to empowering others through education, empathy, and personalized care. I believe true health goes beyond simply avoiding illness—it's about nurturing the body, mind, and spirit to create a balanced, vibrant life.
