Welcome to Little Sunflower & The Wholefood Hero …. where emotional and physical wellbeing go hand in hand!
My name is Sarah Gilbert and welcome to Little Sunflower!
An award winning animated, interactive, digital, early intervention, emotional wellbeing program for children.
I began as a professional actor, drama teacher, voice artist, writer and holistic therapist who has worked with children for 30 years. I help to guide emotional learning through fun, promoting positive mental health, self- awareness, creativity and compassion in children.
Our lives are very different now. And this is why Little Sunflower was born …. to help us help children to navigate and understand these big feelings together, We want to children to grow feeling happy and content.
My Name is Edel Owens and I am The Wholefood Hero!
I’m a former primary school teacher with a Master’s in Special Educational Needs turned Nutrition and Health Coach.
Like Sarah, I have a passion for helping children to grow healthily and to encourage them to taste new and exotic foods, enabling them to grasp the power of healthy eating for themselves setting them up for a lifetime of wellbeing!
It is the combination of tools and skills that have come together to create the animated pack of lovable animal characters that you see here today.
Our mission is to bring a new form of learning to children and begin that early intervention as soon as possible.
- Including confidence building and creative expression through drama, art, play, games, song, the use of our senses, nature and simple psychology.
- To understand, accept, and regulate emotions with EFT and breath work.
- Improved nutrition and the power of eating healthy wholefood.
- Sensory development with taste testing exotic wholefoods.
- Cultivating empathy by understanding the impact of their actions.
- All helped along by the Little Sunflower who watches and grows with the children!
