About Sarah Westwood & Primal Sound

✦ Sharing the joy of music

As the founder of Primal Sound, Sarah 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.

Sarah and her team create memorable and uplifting 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 across teams, communities and generations.

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.
