EmpowerHER for Schools

Extending EmpowerHER into Education

As the founder of EmpowerHER, my work has always been rooted in helping individuals reconnect with themselves; to find balance, inner calm, and a sense of empowerment in their daily lives.
Now, I am deeply passionate about extending this work into schools, combining my background in education with my experience as a holistic wellbeing practitioner.

Before founding EmpowerHER, I worked for several years as a Secondary School Teacher of Drama and Dance and later as a Head of Year. My time in education gave me a profound understanding of the pressures young people face, both academically and emotionally. I carry with me a lasting love for the pastoral side of school life - the part that sees, nurtures, and supports the whole child.

Why This Work Matters

Across the country, young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. The structure of the modern exam system, combined with the fast pace of school culture, often leaves little space for stillness, reflection, or emotional regulation.

I believe passionately that wellbeing should be an integral part of school culture, not a luxury or an add-on. When students are given the tools to understand and regulate their nervous systems, manage stress effectively, and connect with their inner resilience, they not only perform better academically but also develop skills that support them through higher education and into adulthood.

Introducing The Balance Sessions

The Balance Sessions are a series of wellbeing workshops created specifically for Key Stage 4 students, designed to help them manage stress, calm their nervous systems, and build emotional resilience.

Through practices such as movement, breathwork, EFT tapping, meditation, and sound therapy, students are guided to:

• Release tension and anxiety

• Reconnect with calm, confidence, and inner balance

• Reset their nervous systems through deep relaxation

The workshops can be delivered as a 6-week course for a selected group of students or as standalone sessions for different groups, allowing more students to benefit from the experience.

A Vision for School Wellbeing

My vision is to support schools in creating calmer, more connected learning environments, where wellbeing is valued as a foundation for success.
By integrating holistic wellbeing into the school day, we can help young people learn to:

• Understand their stress responses

• Use simple, powerful techniques to self-regulate

• Carry these practices confidently into later life
