Teachers have come to expect the time between Winter Break and Spring Break to be slump months.
Winter break was too short and summer too far away.
With the unreasonable pressures of adjusting to life during and now as the pandemic eases, the entire year is feeling like that hard time for too many of us.
If you're struggling...
Know That You're Not Alone
If you are finding it hard to get up in the morning, hard to get to sleep at night, hard to feel enthusiasm, and hard to have patience with your students, chances are you are experiencing the depletion and burnout that is all too common among educators in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.
Know that you are not alone.
If you’re like many teachers I work with, maybe you’ve tried some of these different ways to perk yourself up...
Ranting on Reddit.
Starting a new home-exercise routine, lasting a day or two.
Binge eating ice cream or chips.
Mindlessly scrolling through headlines or social media.
Having that extra glass of wine too many nights.
But none of these efforts are succeeding in banishing your doldrums, lifting your spirits or reconnecting you with your own vital energy, your own love for teaching, or your own optimism about life.
It’s understandable.
These are hard times.
But you don’t have to go it alone.
If you’re feeling like you need a pick-me-up...
...and you could use support from someone who already understands the pressures of teaching, who has worked with hundreds of teachers, and who has been practicing these tools for 40 years...
You've come to the right place.
In working with more than 1,700 public school teachers in inner city schools
I’ve seen firsthand the burdens teachers carry
And I’ve seen firsthand what makes a difference
I’ve walked into Professional Development sessions where everyone is utterly burned out and watched those same teachers walk out an hour later with light in their eyes and smiles on their faces.
I’ve worked for the last five years, perfecting a set of keys that you can use every day to unlock your vitality, refresh your sagging spirits, and even weave into your classroom so you (and your students) get a breather during the day, just when you need one.
What makes all the difference is having these three keys at your fingertips:
Simple and profound practices
Transformative perspectives
Supportive people in your community
These 3 keys will unlock the revitalization that is not out of reach, even if you feel it is. That revitalization is just, momentarily, hidden from view
We can change that. That’s why I’ve created this 5-session program Rapid Revitalization for Teachers.
You may feel like you’ve caved into frustration and discouragement.
Just because it feels that way right now, doesn’t mean it can't change. There are transformative practices and perspectives that can shift your experienceright now, which is when you need it. You need the support and revitalization now, to get through this next semester.
This can’t wait until everything is perfect.
You need that uplift:
Before we solve the pandemic
Before social upheaval and inequity is a thing of the distant past
And even before bureaucratic inefficiency has miraculously resolved itself.
Children are in school now. You are teaching now. You are tired now.
You need revitalization ... now.
That’s why I designed this live, supportive 5-session series that you’ll be able to tune in to every day so you don’t have to go it alone. So you can be guided through restorative practices that will bring you ease right now. And, you’ll walk away with easy to use reminders and resources so you can continue to nourish yourself, your family, and your classroom again.
Here's the thing...
You Became an Educator Because You Care... You’ve Seen How a Love of Learning Sets Hearts on Fire and Opens up Lifelong Possibilities.
That Passion is Your Superpower
Though the flames may seem to be burning low, in Rapid Revitalization, my Self-Care MasterClass for Educators, I’ll work with you. Together we’ll blow on those embers and rekindle that fire.

"My staff couldn't stop raving about how well the class went! This has been so important for our school community!"
J.L., High School Principal
"This is exactly what I needed! This changed a week from hell into practices I'm going to make habits! Thank you."
R.L., Teacher, Oakland, CA
"Thank you so much for leading our staff through mindfulness practices. We appreciated and enjoyed the time to relax, rejuvenate, and be with themselves and each other in ways we don't usually have time to do. I look forward to our continued work together!"
A.D. High School Principal
"Your mindfulness course is genuinely unique, academically rigorous, mind/soul/mind stretching, and life-changing! From the bottom of my heart,"THANK YOU"! You've made my day and uplifted my spirits!"
H.S., Art Teacher
"Our training was excellent. Everyone left the training empowered to weave simple, yet effective strategies into daily life. Even those in our organization who were skeptical or hesitant at first ended the day feeling refreshed."
C.W. Chief Program Officer, ArtistYear
"It was truly a pleasure to have Amy provide a session for our team. She helped us to address the feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed and also assisted us with identifying the effects of secondary trauma. Since our training, our team has shared techniques with our youth, as well as employed self-care techniques into the work place."
K.S. VP of Programs, Philadelphia Education Fund
"Amy reminded us that we, the adults, are important, too. To better serve our students and to better teach, we need to take care of ourselves. We were able to immediately implement every self-care strategy she presented, and our teachers and staff chose to implement them on their own throughout the school year. We started a new approach to living because we realized the difference within ourselves. Who wouldn't rather live than simply exist?!"
N.H., Executive Director, Charter High School
"Educators devote much of their time and effort to the wellbeing of their students; thus, often forgetting to consider their own needs. You introduced the concept of mindfulness, and took us on a journey through meditation exercises that helped us become enlightened to our present state of mind. These tools helped us become aware of our emotions and stressors, and allowed us to reflect on how they may influence our decisions."
J.D. Health & PE Teacher, High School
