We’re thrilled to welcome Your Wellness Compass to the Greater Stillwater Area Green Business Directory! Owned and operated by Sarah Filipi, this Blaine-based wellness coaching and consulting business earned an extraordinary 198 out of 200 points on our Green Business Scorecard. Despite being a solo entrepreneur, Sarah has seamlessly integrated sustainable practices into every aspect of her business, demonstrating that even small businesses can lead in big ways when it comes to environmental stewardship.
Want to see how Sarah achieved her certification? We've linked the scorecard for transparency! Plus, check out her business listing in our Green Business Directory.
In the Energy category, Sarah utilizes solar-powered LED lights both indoors and outdoors, relies on natural lighting to reduce electricity use, and unplugs electronics when not in use. Her office is equipped with energy-efficient appliances, and she actively tracks her energy usage to stay aware of her environmental impact.
Under Waste, she composts organic food scraps, repurposes junk mail into scratch paper, and avoids plastic packaging by using reusable containers. She prints only when necessary, always on recycled paper, and opts for second-hand office supplies whenever possible. Sarah also shares waste-reduction tips with her clients, promoting sustainable practices beyond her own business.
Her commitment to Water conservation includes using filtered tap water instead of bottled, collecting rainwater for indoor and outdoor plant care, and maintaining efficient water use through mindful habits and water-saving fixtures. She also incorporates native plants into her landscaping to reduce the need for irrigation.
In the Transportation category, Sarah makes a conscious effort to bike to appointments when feasible and groups client visits together to reduce driving. When travel is necessary, she drives a fuel-efficient vehicle and frequently offers virtual coaching sessions to eliminate emissions.
Beyond these specific areas, Sarah excels in General Sustainability. She is certified as both a Recycling Champion and a Master Composter/Recycler through Anoka County and regularly recommends eco-conscious products and habits to her clients. She purchases from vendors that plant trees with every order, partners with local businesses for printing and services, and shares sustainability education through workshops, presentations, and online content. In fact, her other business—Sarah Grace Photography—is also a Gold Standard Certified Green Business.
What makes Your Wellness Compass truly stand out is how deeply Sarah integrates environmental consciousness into her work with clients. Whether guiding someone through a major health transition or helping them design a more peaceful and eco-friendly home environment, she believes that personal wellness and planetary healing are interconnected.
We are proud to include Your Wellness Compass in our directory and inspired by the ways Sarah leads with intention, compassion, and sustainability at heart.
