1:1 Mentoring for Educators & Teachers

Are you struggling with challenging behaviours? Would you like to learn a playful approach to discipline, which reduces fear, anxiety and stress in both children and yourself? With a strong focus on compassion, empathy, and understanding, I can help you with practical techniques & tools you can use immediately.

I can support you with the following topics, including but not limited to:

  • Feeling burnt out

  • Dealing with children’s challenging behaviour

  • Separation anxiety

  • Dealing with aggression, hitting, throwing, biting, etc

  • Supporting children without rewards and punishments

  • Support with your emotional well-being

  • Navigating the challenges & stresses of being an educator

  • Exploring your past and how it affects your present work with children

  • Working with children with additional needs or medical conditions

  • Client Testimonials

    "I have seen a few psychologists and professionals, but none helped me more than Steph did. We had monthly sessions for 2 years, and I always felt so supported and accepted. Steph listens with so much empathy and compassion, she never judges and she respects who I am as a person. I highly recommend working with Steph."

  • Client Testimonials

    "Steph is the first person I’ve met who holds space and has listening skills that reflects back what is needed. I first realised this when sharing something personal with Steph and she listened in a way that reflected back to me and pulled out of me all of what I needed. Listening is a skill most people don’t have. Steph models this skill so beautifully, I truly believe it’s one of the most valuable skills to have in life."

  • Client Testimonials

    "Meeting Steph and becoming part of the Spirited Hearts community has been such a wonderful blessing for our family. From the minute we walked into the Natural Learning Haven, we knew we had stumbled across something truly unique, something special that you don't encounter often."

When Educators are emotionally healthy, they are better able to be there unconditionally for the children in their care without the burnout.

What if you have the support and tools to truly love your work? I encourage you to consider booking one of the transformative mentoring journey packages. Much of what we do as Educators involves self-nurturing, exploring our own pasts and how they are affecting our present work with children, as well as being in tune with our own feelings.
