The Better Yew Foundation provides an excellent and real insight for students. Gabby is a wonderful, relatable and introspective presenter who bravely shares her own personal journey in order to connect with her audience. The way that her ideas are formulated are presented in an easily digestible way, and the interactive nature of the presentation helps students to stay connected throughout. It was very clear to me that the students gained a lot from this presentation and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking at helping students with resilience building and a better understanding on empathy!​

The presenter was able to breathe life, passion and heart into the presentation along with a strategic combination of audience participation making engagement effortless and interesting. Her use of humour, research and evidence based practice was also clearly evident and intriguing as she remained a supportive guide and humble expert throughout the topic of resilience. I left with a strong understanding and appreciation for resilience as well as a toolkit to walk away and implement within my everyday practice. This presentation left me inspired, motivated and in awe of the presenter's honesty, rawness and knowledge regarding resilience. What a wonderful presentation I would not be able to more highly recommend it!

We were very fortunate to have Gabby from Better Yew come and present to our Yr 8 cohort. Gabby spoke about mental health, self regulation and gratitude like only someone with a true lived experience can. She graciously shared her story and it really resonated with some of our boys. Gabby's presentation was insightful and engaging. She had the boys demonstrating their push ups and practicing self regulation techniques. A few days later, during a wellbeing check with a student, the student commented, "Everything Gabby said was like how I felt. All the things she felt, I felt." He said he felt really validated during her presentation as he now knows he is not alone in feeling the way he did. We have also had Gabby present to our Yr 10 boys during Life Ready sessions. I have no hesitation in recommending Gabby and her Better Yew Foundation. We will certainly be booking her again. Thanks Gabby!

Gabby's vulnerability in sharing her own story was remarkable. It showed that there is a real person with genuine experience offering this advice. Hearing about her personal journey demonstrates to others that overcoming hardship is achievable and effectively illustrates the topics discussed in the presentation.

Thank you so much Gabby for the absolutely gorgeous presentation, I don't think you fully realise the spark you bring speaking of resilience, your own journey and just how profoundly this can (and will) impact your audience. I truly feel the world is your oyster on this journey of motivational speaking that you are beginning and I cannot wait to see you amplified on platforms such as Ted Talks and/or Foster care conventions and training seminars, self esteem courses there's so much opportunity and I know I will be seeing your face pop up in future! Wishing you all the best joy, success, happiness and resilience 🙂
