Visual arts teacher and creative coach

Sarah Peterson is a visual arts trained primary-school teacher and life coach whose biography in From Potential To Prosperity describes more than twenty-five years of teaching experience. Her work includes creative classes and workshops for children and adults.

Mindful Creative Coaching examines the ways a creative activity can make room for expression. Sarah describes learning to pay attention when a child's behaviour or comments suggest that something more is happening than the immediate classroom task.

Her contribution connects art-making with listening, relationships and the satisfaction of completing something tangible. She describes developing classes beyond the usual school setting, where she could make more room for the approach she wanted to teach.

Sarah's chapter introduces the educational experience behind her Billabong Bliss Art Studio work. It offers her perspective on creativity and confidence. Her teaching and coaching background is presented as described in the book, without assuming a regulated clinical art-therapy qualification or claiming that an activity treats trauma.
