Teacher Wellness Workshop

Care for the people who care for our children

Teaching asks a great deal. Long days, heavy workloads and the emotional weight of caring for learners can leave even the most dedicated educators running on empty. A staff wellness session gives your team time to pause, reconnect and leave with practical tools they can use in the classroom and beyond.

About me

I am an educator with an Honours degree in Psychology and a PGCE, and I have spent many years in schools, including in school leadership. I know the pressures teachers face because I live them too. My blog, What WayD Says, was named Best Wellness Blog for Women in SA 2025, and teacher wellbeing has long been close to my heart.

What a session can include

Every school is different, so each session is shaped around your staff, your timetable and what your team needs most. Sessions can draw on:

  • Practical tools for managing stress and preventing burnout
  • Rest, boundaries and sustainable workloads
  • Mindfulness and reflective practice
  • Strengthening staff connection and morale
  • Ways to keep wellness going after the day itself, including support for a staff member who champions wellbeing at your school

Sessions can run as a short staff development slot, a half day or a full wellness day, and can be offered for teachers, admin and support staff alike.

Please note

These sessions offer wellness education and practical self-care strategies. They are not therapy or counselling. Where an individual needs further support, I can suggest appropriate professional services.

How to enquire

To receive a tailored proposal and quote, please email me with:

  • Your school’s name and location
  • The approximate number of staff attending
  • Your preferred dates or term
  • The length of session you have in mind
  • Any particular areas you would like the session to focus on

I will respond with an outline and quote that suit your school. Please allow as much notice as possible, as sessions are planned around the school calendar.

I look forward to supporting your team.
