Meet Sarah Potekhen | Founder and Chief Energy Officer at Energized Bliss Wellness: Intuitive Coach & Energy Healer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sarah Potekhen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sarah, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
The most important thing I’ve done as a parent is to heal myself first.

For years, I was the control-freak mom, constantly over-planning, over-preparing, and trying to make everything perfect for everyone except me. I thought love meant doing it all, keeping it all together, and protecting my family from every bump in the road. My kids saw a mom who could handle anything, but they also saw the cost. I was tired, tense, and running on empty.

When I began my journey from burnout to bliss, everything shifted. I learned that my peace was their permission. The greatest gift I could give them wasn’t perfection or productivity, it was presence and flow.

Now, I remember to breathe. To release control. I follow my intuition and remind them to do the same. We remind each other that mistakes are how we grow together. When I model grace, self-awareness, and alignment, they learn those same tools.

By learning to regulate my own energy, set boundaries, and listen to my intuition, I’ve modeled something far more powerful than words: emotional awareness, self-trust, and authenticity. They’ve seen me choose rest over rushing, honesty over hiding, and alignment over approval.

Our home feels lighter. We talk about energy, emotions, dreams, and what it means to be in flow. My daughter even tells me she can’t wait to co-lead family retreats with me in Sedona someday. That, to me, is the full-circle gift of healing, raising children who know it’s okay to slow down, to listen to their bodies, and to follow what lights them up.

Parenting is energetic. When we heal ourselves, our children feel it and together, we rise.

What should our readers know about your business?
Energized Bliss Wellness was born out of my personal journey from burnout to bliss.

For more than 25 years, I built a career that looked incredibly successful on paper. I led multimillion-dollar projects, managed global teams, and thrived in fast-paced environments where control and precision were everything. I was the dependable one, the fixer, the problem-solver, the one who made the impossible happen.

But beneath the achievement was exhaustion. I had mastered performance but lost connection to myself. I was running on adrenaline, living for deadlines, and mistaking being needed for being alive. My body was sending signals and my intuition was whispering, but I wasn’t listening…until the universe intervened with a sign I couldn’t ignore.

When an unexpected layoff cracked my carefully built identity, it became the invitation I didn’t know I needed. In that stillness, I finally listened. I realized I wasn’t meant to keep surviving high performance, I was meant to help others redefine it.

That realization became the foundation of Energized Bliss Wellness, where I now blend science and soul to help high performers align their energy before burnout begins. As a certified holistic health coach, energy healer, and bioenergetic testing practitioner, I help clients understand the energetic language of their bodies, clearing stress patterns, restoring flow, and reconnecting them to their vitality and purpose.

What sets my work apart is that it’s both measurable and meaningful. I use bioenergetic testing to identify the subtle stressors that impact health, focus, and performance. I then pair it with intuitive coaching and energetic remedies to support healing on every level: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It’s a holistic, personalized process that meets each client exactly where they are and helps them move toward who they’re meant to be.

The benefits reach far beyond stress relief or energy restoration. My clients often describe feeling clearer, calmer, more confident, and deeply aligned with their purpose. They rediscover their creativity, strengthen their intuition, and begin making decisions from a place of peace instead of pressure.

It hasn’t been easy stepping away from corporate certainty. I had to unlearn perfectionism, release control, and trust that alignment would take me further than effort ever could. But every challenge became a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more, it’s about coming home to yourself.

What I’m most proud of are the moments when a client looks at me and says, “I feel like myself again.” That’s when I know the work has done what it was meant to do: awaken truth, restore light, and remind us all that when you understand your energy, you change your life. That’s what it means to Energize Your Bliss.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Scottsdale will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I built my corporate career, raised my family, and learned the art of balance in a city that celebrates both ambition and ease. When I need to clear my head, you’ll find me hiking McDowell Mountain, especially the Gateway Trail, where the desert sunrise feels like a reset button for the soul.

Some of my favorite moments happen closer to home: dinner at Coopers Hawk, Tutti Santi, or Sophia’s Kitchen, or lingering over coffee and treats at Paris Baguette with great friends. And if you have kids, McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, the Fountain Hills splash pad, and our local museums—the Children’s Museum, Science Center, or AZ Natural History Museum are perfect for a few hours of fun and connection.

And when I need to reconnect with something deeper, Sedona is my sanctuary. There’s nothing quite like grounding near Oak Creek, meditating at Cathedral Rock, or feeling the heart-opening energy of Bell Rock and Boynton Canyon. Each visit reminds me why I host retreats there, it’s impossible not to realign with your truth in that landscape.

Arizona, to me, is the perfect reflection of my work: grounded like the desert, magnetic like Sedona, and always inviting you to realign, recharge, and remember who you truly are.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love, support, and encouragement of so many incredible souls along the way.

At the heart of it all is my family, the heartbeat behind everything I do. They are my reason for shifting from burnout to bliss and creating a life grounded in peace, presence, and purpose. Everything I do is for them, and for the world they’re growing up in, a world I hope to leave filled with more light, love, and connection.

I’m endlessly grateful for the mentors, managers, co-workers, teachers, and friends who believed in me before I fully believed in myself. They’ve held space for my growth, challenged me to trust my intuition, and reminded me to savor the unfolding.

Every person who’s crossed my path has been part of this transformation, and their light continues to ripple through my work. None of this was done alone and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
