Rachel Sabourin

“It was incredibly valuable for dancers to gain practical, actionable tools they can use both in the studio and at competitions. These strategies help them manage stress, stay calm, and remain focused in high-pressure moments, allowing them to feel more confident, prepared, and in control when it matters most.

Rachel was also incredibly relatable with the dancers and came well prepared with engaging activities that kept participants of all ages involved and connected throughout the session. We hope to continue these sessions in the future as a helpful reminder for our dancers each year as we head into competition season!” - Delia

She brought a thoughtful, grounded perspective to the conversation around mental wellness, performance pressure, and balance, which deeply resonated with our community.

We are so grateful for her time, energy, and expertise, and we look forward to welcoming her back in the future.” - Julie

“I had the pleasure of having Rachel come in to speak to my class about mental health, with a focus on emotional regulation, and it was an incredibly valuable experience for our students. She has a natural ability to connect with young people in a way that feels both genuine and engaging.

Rachel presented complex ideas in a way that was easy for students to understand and apply to their own lives. The strategies she shared were practical, age-appropriate, and immediately useful. I could see students actively reflecting, participating, and feeling more comfortable talking about their emotions.

Her presence was calm, compassionate, and empowering. It’s clear that she is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about supporting youth mental wellness. I would highly recommend her to any school or organization looking to provide meaningful mental health education.” - Ms. Loree

"We were so grateful to have Rachel Sabourin from Sabourin Psychotherapy work with our teen dancers in a recent workshop focused on performance anxiety and overall mental wellness. Rachel was incredibly easy to work with—organized, knowledgeable, and approachable from start to finish. She created a safe and supportive environment where our dancers felt comfortable opening up, asking questions, and engaging fully in the experience.

The practical techniques she shared for managing anxiety were both accessible and impactful. We would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking to support youth in building confidence and emotional resilience." - Veronica
