Sabina is a qualified neuroplastician with a specialisation in children's neuroplasticity. She possesses a wealth of expertise to support the cognitive, emotional and behavioural development of young minds. With three decades of experience as an educator and a robust academic background, including a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), Master's degree in Psychology, an Advanced Diploma in Child Development, a Diploma in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and a Diploma in Neuroplasticity, Sabina is uniquely positioned to address a wide range of challenges that children may face.

Sabina has witnessed first-hand the increasing challenges that children face in terms of mental health during their school journey — challenges that can profoundly impact their emotional, social and academic development.

Her own journey into understanding the significance of mental health and wellbeing began with her daughter's struggles. Like many young students, her daughter faced anxiety, depression, and the difficulty of emotional self-regulation. This personal experience ignited Sabina's passion to find a solution, not just for her daughter but for countless others facing similar challenges.

Her dedication to addressing these issues extends beyond her role as a parent. Professionally, she has worked as a secondary school nurture teacher with Years 7 and 8, providing her with invaluable insights into the real struggles some students face. She understands the fear, anxiety, and even intimidation that can accompany the transition to secondary school. In today's educational landscape, anxiety, depression and fear are real issues that many students encounter during this pivotal phase of their lives.

Recognising that the foundation of mental health often begins in primary school, Sabina is committed to building resilience early on in a child's educational journey. This commitment has led her to create the ``30-day Wellbeing Challenge,`` a transformative program designed to nurture resilience and wellbeing among students.

Her interest in neuroplasticity and its benefits arose as a result of her husband suffering from a brain tumour early in their marriage, resulting in multiple life-threatening surgeries. The tumour initially caused significant paralysis and later a change in personality and behaviour, which, 30 years later, has little significance in their lives, largely restored through the process of neuroplasticity. Her mother has also suffered three strokes but recovered from her brain injuries well, regaining her independence also through the process of neuroplasticity.

Her older two children were primed through their childhood using neuroplastic exercises from a young age and today enjoy the benefits of a resilient mind in their successful adult lives.

Drawing from her own experiences and extensive research, Sabina understands that strong mental health and success habits require daily practice. This practice takes time, with research indicating that it can take at least 30 consecutive days to establish these essential habits in children.

To support this mission, Sabina has authored a series of wellbeing journals tailored to different age groups: ages 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12. These journals contain daily wellbeing activities, affirmations and built-in incentives to promote self-awareness and cultivate a healthy mindset among students.

Importantly, Sabina recognizes the crucial role of parents and caregivers in this journey. Her program encourages active involvement from parents and carers, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to engage in mindful exercises and gain a deeper understanding of their child's wellbeing.

As schools prioritise wellbeing through PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) lessons and assemblies, Sabina acknowledges that some students require additional support. For these children, the challenges they face can be overwhelming. Sabina's mission is to instil resilience in students through daily wellbeing rituals that foster positive mental health habits grounded in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) principles.
Her ``30-day Wellbeing Challenge`` is a testament to her commitment to fostering resilience, wellbeing, and positive mental health in students, ultimately providing them with the tools they need to thrive in today's complex educational landscape.

In conclusion, Sabina's dedication to student wellbeing, backed by her personal and professional experiences, drives her to make a significant difference in the lives of young learners.
