About the Course
Slow by Design is more than a course. It’s a biblical invitation to step out of exhaustion and into a life of intentional rest, wholeness, and renewal.
If you’ve ever felt bone-deep tired, stretched beyond your capacity, or trapped in a cycle of striving and people-pleasing, this course was created for you. Whether you’re a mother, ministry leader, creative, or simply someone who longs for peace with God in a restless world, Slow by Design will guide you into a different way of living - one that aligns with His rhythms instead of the world’s demands.
Drawing from scripture, personal testimony, and years of lived experience with burnout and recovery, Sarah leads you through a journey of healing. Together, you’ll explore:
-
Laying the Foundation: How we got here, what stressors we can control, and the biblical call to begin again.
-
Slowing Down to Heal: Practicing Sabbath, setting boundaries, and learning the unhurried pace of grace.
-
Tending the Roots: Addressing deeper issues like identity, emotions, trust, and intimacy with God.
-
Rebuilding the Mind & Nervous System: Renewing your thought life, calming stress, and learning practical tools for peace.
-
Restoring the Body: Honoring God’s design through sleep, nourishment, toxin reduction, and long-term healing practices.
-
Continuing the Journey: Bonus modules for mothers, leaders, and anyone navigating burnout in specific seasons.
This isn’t just about information. It’s a transformation - rooted in Jesus’ promise:
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” - Matthew 11:28
By the end of this course, you’ll have not only the tools to recover from burnout but also the wisdom to never return to it. You’ll discover how to live slow… by His design.

About your instructor
Hi there! I’m Sarah Aziz - I'm a Christian Life Coach with a focus on inner healing and the founder of NowBloom Academy, where I also run a Christian Life Coach certification program.
I am passionate about writing courses and creating content rooted in the wisdom the Holy Spirit has downloaded to me. Slow by Design was birthed out of my own journey through adrenal fatigue, chronic stress, and the trap of hustle culture. For more than three years, I found myself often bedridden, navigating exhaustion and learning firsthand what it means to depend fully on God. Out of that wilderness season, the Lord began to rebuild me and show me His better way - and now I get to share it with you.
I live in Toronto, Canada, and have been married to my husband since 2020. Together, we are raising our energetic toddler, learning daily what it means to slow down, trust God, and walk in His rhythms of grace.
I am continuously growing, learning, and developing as the Lord leads - and I love passing along that encouragement and practical wisdom to others who are ready for renewal.
I'm excited to have you on this journey, and see what the Lord will do.
Love - Sarah
