If you’re a teacher you’ll know this scenerio well…

You’re in the middle of a lesson, it’s going rather well - they seem to be learning things and nobody’s called out yet!

But then, a child begins to use low-level distractions that begins to de-rail your lesson.

You politely and calmly tell them to stop tapping their pencil on the table. Maybe you even give a reason for why you need them to stop. You feel good for having tackled the distracting behaviour head on and continue with your lesson. 


But they don’t stop. 

Instead what they do is stare you straight in the eyes and continue tapping the pencil.

They continue tapping the pencil with their right hand, whilst slowly reaching out with their left hand - all the while remaining eye contact with you.

Their left hand slowly grabs another pencil and then suddenly everything moves at 100 mph and they’re now throwing pencils across the classroom.

Before you know it pencils turn to rulers, rulers turn to books and books turn to chairs. 

The child is shouting and you feel out of your depth. You know this isn’t safe but you don’t know what to do. 

The other 29 children in your class are now looking to you to restore safety and calm to the classroom.

So you begin to shout too, maybe you make threats: “If you don’t put that chair down I’m going to call your mum…”, maybe you try to grab the objects from the child’s hands and before you know it you’re in a tug-of-war situation!

You’re in fight mode and you don’t know how to get out of it. 

Have you been there?

Perhaps you’ve experienced something similar to this? Perhaps you responded in a similar way?

Since working somatically this agitated, embarresed, angry response from me happens waaaay less often.

More often than not though, I am able to take a breath, pause and respond in a way that is supportive for both the child and for me. In these moments of big emotions, I am able to give to the children in my class a response that I was never given as a child. 

I’m able to see the child before me for all that they are. I’m able to see what’s at the root cause of the behaviour (usually tiredness, boredom, hunger, home-life) and I’m able to meet them with gentleness, love and compassion.

I am able to give the child before me what I was never given as a child. 

Do you… 

  • Feel like being a teacher has taken all your attention and you just don’t feel like yourself anymore? 

  • Often feel behind in life and feel like the person you are and the person you want to be are two different people and you just aren’t sure how to reach what you want from life?

  • Feel so exhausted and tired by the mundanity of teaching that you often find yourself reacting to the children in your class in a way that you’re not proud of?

  • Find yourself longing for some peace and ease?

  • Find yourself daydreaming of a simpler life with less stress and pressure?

And do you want to… 

  • Give your brain and body the space to breathe so that the fog lifts and you can finally begin to put yourself first?

  • Explore what makes you happy and connect with who you really are? 

  • Start responding to the children in your class in a gentler, more compassionate way?

  • Thrive in and begin to enjoy your role as teacher, as you raise the next generation?

    THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

    • You want to have more energy at the end of the day to do the things you love. 

    • You want to put yourself at the top of your priority list.

    • You want to get in touch with who you are so that you can begin to enjoy life again.

    • You want to better manage the stress and high pressure of raising the next generation.

    • You want to be able to leave work at work and not let it consume you

    SO FAR…

    • Perhaps you’ve tried talking therapy, self-help books or following influencers on instagram only to find that the “tips and tricks for teachers” they’re sharing aren’t working for you.

    • Perhaps you’ve shared with your year-group-partner or line-manager that you’re feeling overwhelmed only to be met with “But your such a great teacher…” and no further support. 

    • Perhaps you’ve stayed up to the early-hours of the morning to complete your to-do list only to realise that the list is just as long almost instantly the next day and the work feels “never done”.

If this resonates, then my 1:1 work is for you.

I’d love to connect with those of you who are ready to be the role model that you didn’t receive.

I want to connect with you if you are ready to give the children that you teach and the future generations the loving childhood they need. A childhood where they are seen and valued, listened to and supported so that they grow to be happy, well-rounded individuals who lead and live in a peaceful, love-filled society. 

For this to happen, it means, you giving to you first, so that you can give to them. 

What's included:

  • 6 week block = 6 x 50 minute sessions for £360 

  • 12 week block = 12 x 50 minute sessions for £660 

There are payment plans available on both options.

Book a connection call to find out more.

I ask all clients that are interested in working with me to complete a discovery form first.

This discovery form allows for me to get to know you a little bit and to hear about what's happening for you right now before we join on a connection call. 

I do this so that we have a bit more time on a connection call to actually experience some of what a somatic therapy session looks and feels like.
