Biography
|
My passion is Positive Well-Being; to help people – whether individuals or within schools or businesses – to enhance their own well-being; to thrive not just survive! Our inner state impacts on the way we experience the world and how we live. Positive Well-being engages us in self-development, empowering us to feel and function better personally, socially, and professionally.
My background is in Primary Education as a teacher for twenty years, ten of those as a senior leader and finally headship. Through my own leadership training and development, and in developing individuals and teams within my leadership roles, I know the impact of resilience and well-being coaching to move beyond self-limiting beliefs, recognise and empower strengths and develop creative thinking and problem solving skills. My own journey into holistic health and positive well-being began as a way of looking after my own well-being and that of my family. Seeing the positive impact it had for us, I then used this within my school with enormous benefits to the staff, children and also our school outcomes. |

Taking this learning, I established Live Well Consultancy and now work with schools and businesses offering bespoke support to develop Positive Well-being Organisational Strategies and training focusing on resilience, energy, mindset, purpose, character strengths, mindful practice and capacity to flourish.
My belief and passion in this work comes from knowledge of how inherently valuable it is in improving all lives, and in retaining high quality staff teams who are well, engaged and feel valued. In schools it enables children to be self-aware and to self-regulate, concentrate and be ready for learning, and impacts on the whole school ethos, school development and outcomes.
Having a deep knowledge and understanding of schools, bespoke support is tailored to the needs and priorities of the school or academy trust, ranging from inset training to on-going support for Headteachers, Leaders, Designated Mental Health Leads, Whole Staff, Early Career Teachers, Governors and Parents to develop all aspects of Positive Well-Being for both staff and children.
Training and facilitation are always of an active nature, developing collaboration and co-creation of ideas to facilitate change, nurturing the individual or the team, and building organisational culture and capacity. Emphasis is always on making a sustainable and lasting difference.

Testimonials
Thank you for the invaluable insight into the world of mental health and policy implementation in schools. The training helped staff to recognise their own stress levels and provided workable solutions for helping them maintain good mental health.” |
The training was fast-paced and was very useful in providing the components for a well-being curriculum. It provided really useful strategies that we will use in school” Sarah went above and beyond as she spent time on the phone exploring timings, reasons and options. She was empathetic, patient and reassuring. I cannot recommend the consultancy sessions enough and have been astonished by the effectiveness of them. Sarah is extremely invested and committed in the people she works with for which I am extremely grateful. |
