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, and nervous-system-regulating breathwork to melt away physical tension and create a safe space to relax and rest.

  • Phase 2: The Creative Buffet
    Each participant will receive their personal art box with a beautifully curated selection of tactile, mess-free art mediums of premium watercolors, brushers, 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 Rest & Savasana
    We conclude the experience by settling back into a deeply restorative guided meditation, leaving participants feeling grounded, clear headed, relaxed and refreshed.

FAQ

Do I need any previous experience with yoga or art to attend?
Absolutely not. This experience is explicitly designed to dismantle performance anxiety. There are no advanced yoga poses and no step-by-step painting instructions. Our somatic movement is gentle, accessible, and easily modified for all bodies. Our art studio is entirely unstructured, focusing on the therapeutic and calming process of creating rather than making a perfect finished product.
What kind of art supplies do you use?
We carefully curate mess-free, highly tactile materials that feel wonderful to work with, such as professional-grade watercolors, smooth air-dry modeling clay, 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.
How do school boards pay for these workshops?
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.
What do participants need to bring or wear?
We supply all the necessary yoga mats, props, and premium art supplies. Participants only need to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to stretch and move with ease.
Do participants need to be on the floor?
No. All participants can be where they are comfortable, seated on a chair at a table or on a yoga mat or blanket.
What is your cleanup policy for on-site school workshops?
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

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.
