Overwhelmed? You are not alone
Does this sound like you?
Always on. You give everything to your family, students, or colleagues—there’s nothing left for you.
Running on empty. Your body sends warning signs, but there’s no time to listen.
Second-guessing. You wonder if you’re doing enough, even when you’re already stretched thin.
Hi, I'm Carolyn!
I help parents, teachers, and school leaders reclaim calm and confidence by learning to care for themselves first, so they can continue caring for others without running on empty.
As a certified coach with over 30 years in education, I’ve supported hundreds of educators and parents to build practical routines, strengthen their wellbeing, and feel more in control of their days.
I know the challenges firsthand (as a parent and former school principal) and I bring both professional expertise and a compassionate approach to every conversation. My goal is to make self-care simple and doable, giving you the clarity, energy, and balance you need to thrive in your role and in your life.

Some kind words from amazing people I have worked with
"Confidence and a sense of calm"
"Fresh out of university and experiencing first hand, the expectation of a teacher compared to the realities of a teacher, was overwhelming at one stage.
I was extremely thankful for Carolyn’s coaching sessions, as they were invaluable for me as Beginning Teacher. Anyone who knows Carolyn is drawn to her kind-hearted nature, genuine concern for others and ability to make you feel valued as a teacher. Her holistic approach to teaching allowed me to leave each session with a greater sense of clarity, confidence and a sense of calm.
To this day, I continue to apply her philosophies to my everyday teaching practice."

" I was able to see in front of me again"
"Before my coaching sessions I had recently returned from overseas travel and had just started teaching again. I found myself feeling lost and confused as to where I was heading or what I wanted to do with my life. I felt silly at the start of the coaching process, because I don't like talking about myself or my feelings, but as the sessions went on I found this confidence building up inside. I was able to see in front of me again.
The coaching sessions helped me to reflect and set realistic goals that I could achieve. The sessions made me feel good about myself. I now know the pathway I want my career heading in. Carolyn is an amazing person, who always makes you feel valued and comfortable."

"A happy and successful career"
"Carolyn's coaching has enabled me to grow from a young beginning teacher to an experienced team leader.
Her holistic approach was exactly what I needed to develop into the confident teacher I am today. She suggested useful techniques and used self awareness strategies that allowed me to develop management skills. I learnt to prioritise my own well being in order to be at my best. Teaching can be an extremely hard job it can consume you and suck out all your energy but coaching with Carolyn got me back on top of things.
It is possible to have a happy and successful career in teaching."
Anna Casley

"Coaching has changed my life"
"I started coaching with Carolyn to think about my next steps in education,and about looking after my mental health and wellbeing
Before starting the coaching I had challenges I was facing around having too many projects, and feelings of being stuck.
During the coaching I felt listened to, and was able to explore my next steps in a very different setting, which I really enjoyed! I loved how the new perspectives drew things out of me, even when I felt very vulnerable.
Since finishing the coaching I have achieved clarity of thought, embarked on a health journey, and started a new job!
I highly recommend this coaching. It has changed my life!
