My Mission for Educators

I have been a Secondary English teacher for over a decade, in both rural and inner-city schools.

I am passionate about reforming the culture of teaching to ensure that educators feel valued, healthy and able to offer their best to their workplaces and pupils. In my experience, teaching normalises exhaustion. However, the statistics on teacher well-being are far from normal: over a third of teachers have experienced burnout in the last year and 77% of teachers state that they are considering leaving because of a lack of work/life balance. In Scotland teacher-pupil contact time is the fourth-highest in the world.

Mental Health UK defines burnout as:

Feeling tired or drained most of the time;
Feeling helpless, trapped and/or defeated;
Feeling detached/alone in the world;
Having a cynical/negative outlook;
Self-doubt;
Procrastinating and taking longer to get things done;
Feeling overwhelmed.

Massage is a good form of self-care. It lowers stress-levels and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system.

For any teacher, PSA or school worker, I offer 20% discount for any treatment for the duration of 2024. This makes the price of an hour-long session £40, and applies to as many treatments as you need this year.
