‘Sara Westbrook is must have for any school.’
Vince Monaco ~ Principal ~ Oakville ON
‘I had the pleasure of watching Sara Westbrook’s presentations for grades K-3 and 4-8. I was amazed how quickly she captivated the audience and how engaged the students were during the entire presentation. I loved the way she was able to discuss emotions and build empowerment in an age appropriate way for each group. As an educator that works with students daily who struggle with self-regulation I found the presentations especially useful.’
Kelly Raymer ~ SERT ~ Oshawa ON
