Keynote Speaker – Sarah Barclay
Sarah Barclay, Mother of three children, and lives in the South – West of WA
Sarah Barclay Founder of The Ivy Barclay Foundation Inc here in Western Australia. Sarah is also Ivy’s Mum. After going through an earth shattering experience on June 27th 2021 when Sarah and her family lost Ivy suddenly, and unexpectedly aged 9, she very quickly learnt that there is next to no support for families going through such tragedy. Unlike long term illness whereby you might gain the opportunity to meet other families and have some support. At the Ivy Barclay Foundation they endeavour to ensure that families are not isolated in an already terribly isolating situation. Care packages, relevant literature as well as fostering and harbouring relationships between families with online support groups. Later, it is hoped we can build a retreat for families to stay and connect with other families as well as explore the idea of looking at grief holistically. It is hoped that families with leave the retreats feeling nourished. Sarah is also a qualified 350 hours Yoga Teacher which she wishes to share this with families as well as breath work and meditation.
At the Ivy Barclay Foundation they wish to de – stigmatise sudden accidental child loss and ensure that nobody is
left out in the dark.
