Dr. Sarah Ferguson is passionate about learning and understanding how things work, and how this applies to wellness in relation to peak performance.
Sarah’s enthusiasm for understanding the relationship between learning and wellbeing has meant she has further developed her own learnings from her PhD in Computational Optics from the University of Georgia and two BSc (Cum Laude) in Physics, leading her to study Yoga and meditation techniques, for a well-rounded grounding in the Wellness space.
Currently, Sarah's focus is on professional development using current research findings from psychology and neuroscience. She leads sessions at conferences and facilitates on-site workshops on habit formation and stress resilience. In the education sector she works closely with teachers to generate age-appropriate ways to embed positive education lessons within their classroom or subject area.
