For School & District Leaders

Educators and school staff are navigating compounding and complex demands: academic recovery, student mental health needs, staffing shortages, and the ongoing emotional labor of caring for children and families. And we have not even mentioned the current political context impacting the education space.

Leaders are asked to hold it all—often without the support, space, or structures they need to sustain themselves or their teams.

Wellness Embodied partners with school systems and education organizations to support adult wellbeing, strengthen culture, and build environments where the people who care for students can care for themselves and show up as the best versions of themselves.

Who we partner with in education

We work with K–12 school systems, networks, and education organizations that are committed to supporting adult social-emotional wellbeing, culture, and sustainable practice—not just student outcomes on paper.

This often includes:

  • Public school districts

  • Charter networks

  • Independent and international schools

  • Education nonprofits and intermediaries

We typically partner with leaders in roles such as:

  • Superintendents and Assistant Superintendents

  • Chiefs of Schools / Instruction / Academics

  • Heads of School, Principals, and Leadership teams

  • HR and Talent leaders focused on educator retention

  • High turnover or early exits among teachers and school leaders

  • Rising levels of stress, exhaustion, or disconnection among staff

  • Difficulty maintaining morale and a sense of shared purpose despite staff happy hours and more planning time.

  • Strong SEL or climate goals for students, but few supports for adults

  • Wellness initiatives that feel “extra” instead of integrated into the work

  • Leaders struggling to support their teams while also burning out themselves

If so, you are not alone. Most education leaders are facing the same challenges. Reach out and let’s discuss how we can approach your reality differently.

How we help education organizations

  • Organizational Burnout & Culture Consulting

    We help you look honestly, with data, at the conditions adults are working in—workload, climate, relational trust, recognition, and alignment—and co-design strategies rooted in our Framework for Sustainable Practice™ to create positive change.

  • Leadership Development & Adult SEL

    We support central office, school, and teacher leaders with trainings, coaching, and retreats focused on sustainable leadership, boundary-setting, and leading with emotional intelligence. Adult SEL is not an add-on; it’s central to the learning spaces adults create for students and how they show up consistently.

  • Staff Wellness & Committee Development

    We help you move beyond one-off wellness events by integrating micro-practices into staff routines and building wellness committees or working groups that keep adult wellbeing on the agenda in a sustainable way.

Why education leaders choose Wellness Embodied

  • We understand the emotional labor of education. Our work is grounded in firsthand experience as a school counselor and system-level leader in SEL and climate.

  • We center adult wellbeing as foundational. We help you align your student-facing vision with how adults are actually supported to do the work required to actualize this vision.

  • We bridge SEL, equity, and culture. We recognize that wellbeing, belonging, and equity are deeply connected—and we design with all three in mind.

  • We work alongside you. We bring frameworks and tools, but we honor your community, context, and constraints.
