About Us
How can I be doing everything right and still be burning out?
That was the question I asked myself in 2004 when I found myself in high states of stress after a day of teaching.
Maybe you’ve asked yourself the same question.
I loved my job. Work made me happy – I loved the energy of middle schoolers, the creativity, the connection, the collegiality and the kids. I thrived on being a teacher – it was a joyous expression of my being. I was on track for a principalship, in the middle of my masters, co-facilitating social justice education workshops for teachers at the district, running lots of extra-curriculars that lit me up.
I was on fire.
I never expected to burnout. In the summer of 2004, after a 2-week meditation retreat, I crumbled with the realization that I could not go back into the classroom. I could not keep on this path of loving my job, yet feeling so awful. Can you relate?
From Teacher Burnout…
Teacher burnout is epidemic. One in five teachers quit in their first five years of teaching – but what happens to the rest? According to statistics, up to 60% of staff leaves are from issues related to stress. Is dedicated teaching supposed to be rewarded with burnout?
The problem is that our teaching culture normalizes stress. Burnout becomes just another step on the career path. Teaching is demanding and it can easily swallow up much of your personal time leaving you feeling swamped, anxious, resentful, even depressed – and everyone tells you that’s completely normal.
Here is the truth: It’s not ‘completely normal’, and it is not what teaching is supposed to feel like. Teacher leaders, like yourself, know that dealing with your burnout is the best personal and professional action you can take.
…to Teacher Wellness
In my journey, I took a year off to heal and re-build my life. Then as a fresh start, I moved across the country and went back to teaching fulltime. As I continued on my healing journey, I took certification courses in various healing modalities. What I learned transformed how I approached not only my work, but my life.
Fast forward to today and I am fully immersed in working with people to heal their stressed-out lives and empower them to carve out a life path that feeds their soul, and does not lead to burnout.
I feel blessed that I was guided to do the work I do. I firmly believe, no one, no teacher should have to burnout as a result of being passionate about their career.
