Bio
When Sarah Sproule was 11 she was afraid she was only growing one breast and didn’t know who to turn to for help. Now as mother of three teens, with two decades experience as a therapist and a masters in sexuality studies, Sarah uses her skills as an occupational therapist and sex educator to ensure every parent and caring adult knows how to build deeper connection with their growing kid(s). Because no child should ever feel alone and unable to reach out for help with their body, their boundaries, or their knowledge about sexuality. … and yes, Sarah eventually grew two breasts roughly the same size.
