Welcome

Creative Wellness for Educators

You spend your days holding space for everyone else.

Let us hold space for you.

Teachers, educational assistants, and daycare workers face an unprecedented level of sensory overload, emotional labor, and daily burnout. Managing classrooms and childcare centers requires constant output.

We believe that true restoration requires stepping into a space where nothing is expected of you, nothing is being evaluated, and there is absolutely no cleanup.

Leveraging 25 years of yoga and meditation facilitation alongside a proven, learner-led open art studio philosophy, we host premium wellness experiences designed specifically to regulate the educator’s nervous system. By blending somatic movement with unstructured, expressive art, we help school and childcare teams lower cortisol, release physical tension, and rediscover playful, pressure-free creativity.

 

Somatic Movement meets The Creative Experience

Our workshops are meticulously structured to transition your mind and body from the frantic energy of the school day into deep, restorative peace.

 

  • Phase 1: Grounding & Sensory Reset
    We begin with accessible, gentle somatic movement, seated in a chair or lying on a yoga mat, nervous-system-regulating breath work, and tapping to melt away physical tension and create a safe space to relax and rest.

  • Phase 2: The Creative Flow
    Each participant will receive their own personal art box with a beautifully curated selection of tactile, mess-free art mediums of premium watercolours, brushes, paint markers and pencil crayons.
    There are no step-by-step instructions, no rigid lesson plans, and no “right or wrong” ways to create.
    You are entirely free to explore, play, and process under the gentle guidance of an experienced facilitator

  • Phase 3: Deep Guided Rest to Refresh and Integrate
    We conclude the experience by settling back into a deeply restorative guided meditation, leaving participants feeling grounded, clear headed, relaxed and refreshed.

FAQ

We carefully curate mess-free, highly tactile materials that feel wonderful to work with, such as
professional-grade watercolours, oil pastels, and premium textured papers.
You get to play with the good stuff, and we ensure you will not leave covered in paint or glue.

For B2B bookings, school principals and daycare directors typically fund these sessions through
their allocated Professional Development (PD) funds, staff appreciation allowances, or workplace
health and wellness budgets. We provide comprehensive corporate invoices and receipts for easy
institutional processing.

Participants only need to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to stretch and move with ease.
Personal yoga mats and blankets are welcomed.

No. All participants can be where they are comfortable, seated on a chair at a table or on a yoga
mat or blanket.

We operate under a strict zero-footprint policy.
Our team handles 100% of the setup before your staff arrives and manages the complete cleanup afterward. Your team has absolutely no responsibilities except to show up, relax, and create.

Your Facilitator

Johanna Steinfeld

For the past 25 years, I have been guiding individuals toward deep rest, inner clarity, and physical ease, and have helped overstimulated minds drop out of the daily rush and anchor back into the body for calm and grounding.

Wellness is about more than stillness; it is also about creative expression.

Alongside my somatic practice, I have spent years serving as a free and unstructured art teacher for students in grades 1 through 9.

Moving away from rigid or standardized lesson plans, I developed an open studio approach where students chose their own creative projects while I acted as a guide, mentor, and supportive space holder.
I watched firsthand how total creative freedom could disarm anxiety, build confidence, and act as a profound emotional outlet.

As the demands on our school boards and childcare systems have intensified, I kept seeing the same pattern unfold.

Our educators are completely exhausted.

They pour an immense amount of emotional labor, patience, and creative energy into their students every single day, which frequently leaves their own cups entirely empty.

Creative Workplace Wellness bridges my two professional worlds.
I provide educators with a safe sanctuary to decompress. You do not need to know how to practice yoga, and you do not need to consider yourself an artist.

You simply need to show up exactly as you are, and let us take care of the rest.
