What is the Salutogenic Schools Alliance?

Challenging Paradigms I Empowering People

A team of dedicated and highly skilled educational professionals who are bringing attention to the need for a paradigm shift in addressing the complexities facing educational settings in 2023-2025 and beyond.

Our theory of practice is based on internal psychology, neuroeducation and systems leadership which is vastly different to the many programs, plans and policies that currently exist in education attempting to enhance ‘well-being’.

She has worked with our entire school community to develop an understanding how brains work best for learning, growing, and staying well. Sarah is also known as our school’s ‘Truth Teller’—someone who helps us reflect honestly, grow with courage, and connect with our purpose.

She has a real gift for speaking to people of all ages and making complex ideas easy to understand. Whether she’s talking to students, teachers, or families, Sarah captivates and inspires everyone she meets.
