Both Practitioners

"Succulent food for thought."

June Callwood, Journalist and Author

"Dear Dr. David & Ms. Star:  Your wellness information was so interesting and informative that I stayed very late one evening to read and study it all.  I am greatly impressed by the work you are both doing.  I congratulate you both for the powerfully warm and genuinely compassionate ideas you convey in your writings.  You have successfully and positively influenced so many of the lives you touch."

Dr. Sara Joy David

... as educator

"Dr. David represented the University by preparing material and speaking to a number of organizations of particular importance to our University — the British Columbia Teacher's Federation, a Conference of Secondary School Counselors, the University Conference Association and the Canadian Guidance Counsellors, as a few examples. I recommend Sara J. David to you as an outstanding individual and psychologist."

Stanley Roberts
Former Vice-President of Simon Fraser University

"Your clear, concise articulation of the psychological oppression of women and the principles of  healing and recovery have made me emotionally independent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul."

 V. G. librarian

... as University Instructor

Taken from student evaluations on file at the University of Victoria, B.C., Department of Psychological Foundations in Education:

"This was, without doubt, the best class I have participated in since starting at U. Vic in May 1989. Sara modelled the way of being gender fair in her approach to the content and the context. This was an opportunity to learn, not just going through laps to meet course requirements."

"This course stimulated my thinking, challenged my beliefs and facilitated my learning to a greater degree than any other part of my graduate experience."

"What was the most important aspect of this course for me was the collaborative process within which it took place - the process became the content- congruency between what was taught, theory ideas, tools and how it was taught."

"I felt moved to learn from a much deeper level in myself than I have in any other course. This type of learning in which I am honored for my contribution and feel empowered to be part of the structure is what I had hoped for throughout my MA program."

"If this is a sign of the quality of the courses to come in my Masters Program then I am IMPRESSED!! A most excellent learning experience and a much appreciated, open and excellent instructor."

"Theodore Reik stated: "Nothing said to us, nothing we can learn from others, reaches us so deeply as that which we find in ourselves." This quote fits so closely Sara. You had the courage, strength and wisdom to provide just enough structure to allow me to reach into myself and walk away.... understanding where and how I need to and will grow."

Beverley A. Star

 Harry Z.

 "Ms. Star, you have provided me with life skills that have changed my entire daily life from 'good' to 'fabulous'! My family and I possess a positive attitude and inner (and physical) strength we didn't realize we had within us. Our health is SUPERIOR!"

 Nelly D.

 "My husband and I are so appreciative for the fun and gentle way you taught us to take charge of our bodies. Those endorphins during and after exercises daily have reduced inertia and moodiness to nil!"
