About Sarah Westwood & Primal Sound
Sarah Westwood has spent 30 years exploring the transformative power of music.
As the founder of Primal Sound, she combines energising group drumming, immersive soundbaths and her unique Calm Within training to help people reduce stress, recharge and discover practical wellbeing skills they can use every day.
At Primal Sound, Sarah and her team create outstanding musical experiences with drums, gongs and other beautiful instruments. For thousands of years, these sounds have been part of celebrations and ceremonies, bringing harmony within ourselves and in our communities. Today, they continue to have a powerful effect — easing stress, lifting mood and building connection.
Music touches us physically, emotionally and spiritually, making it a wonderful medium for transformation: a group becomes a community, stress turns into relaxation, and tension gives way to creativity, fun and joy.
Experience & Approach
Sarah teaches at the UK’s leading drumming events, wellbeing retreats, community celebrations, schools, universities and business communities. She is known for her fun, warm-hearted style, combining expert knowledge with a deep passion for music.
With three decades of playing and teaching experience, Sarah has witnessed time and again how rhythm, sound and shared music-making can support people through life’s challenges — bringing inspiration, connection and renewal to groups of all kinds. Her events are filled with humour, warmth and compassion, reflecting a deep understanding of how music can bring healing, solace and joy, even in the most difficult times.
“The atmosphere created in just a few minutes was so exciting. If you had told me at the beginning of the hour that such unity and great playing could have come from a group of complete beginners I would not have believed it – the power of a team!” — Homeserve
