About
Sandra is thrilled to bring her expertise in the area of educational consulting and neuro-education to the Options Solutions community! After receiving a BA in Psychology from UVic, along with her teaching degree from SFU and Special Education Diploma from UBC, Sandra Heusel has been fortunate to spend the past 30 years guiding students and their families through academic, social and emotional journeys. Enabling students to truly see what future pathways are possible for all students has been a passion of Sandra’s throughout her early work as a resource teacher with the Vancouver School Board, and over the past few decades as both an educational consultant at Eaton Learning Centre and one of the founding educators at Eaton Arrowsmith Academy. Even after working with thousands of students, seeing them strengthen their capacity for learning and striving towards goals that would have previously been out of reach never ceases to be a joy!
Besides her love of guiding families and students, Sandra is interested in the power that the brain has to change and heal. Strength training, walks in the fresh air, baking, and finding new plant-based recipes to try are also high on Sandra’s interest list. Sandra loves reading good books and discussing them with friends at her monthly book club. These days, Sandra can also be found chauffeuring her teenaged son to his daily swim practices, volunteering with his swim club, the Canadian Dolphins, or catching up over the phone with her daughter who has recently started her university adventure.
