Testimonials for The Teacher Wellness Center
For Private Health Coaching
"I felt coaching was very liberating, reflective, and inspiring. I have definitely left the coaching sessions a different person than when I started and I owe that to Emily and all of the tools she has provided me with."
- Meghan H., PreK Teacher
"Through coaching, I have created healthy habits that have stuck with me through some very difficult times."
-Katilin R., ESL Teacher
“The accountability was very helpful. Knowing that I was going to be held accountable for a check in weekly, made me prioritize my goals.”
Alycia F., SPED Teacher
"By the end of coaching I was happier, better able to cope with the demands of teaching, and much more aware of how my own mind worked."
-Claudia B., ES Science Teacher
“The most significant overall change I have noticed has been a greater sense of calm about somethings just….getting done eventually. And accepting that it’s okay if I need a break. I would recommend Emily to anyone who thinks they have even a passing interest in health coaching - it’s SO worth it!”
-Amy L., HS Science Teacher
“Coaching offered me a supportive presence during a challenging time in my life. I am grateful for the positive changes it introduced into my life.”
-Sheri S., Kindergarten Teacher
“I would recommend Emily as a coach to anyone who is looking to make a positive mindset shift.”
-Jordan W., SPED teacher
"Emily was great at helping me develop habits that served my goals. I learned a lot from her feedback on my food diary and felt so much more comfortable planning healthy meals for myself. I became so much more aware of my health/unhealthy decisions and Emily always made me feel good about my progress."
-Angela M.
For Workshops and Group Coaching
“Emily had information that was so timely and necessary right now when we are all facing burnout. It was seriously one of the best workshops I've attended to date as an educator. I would recommend these workshops to any educator - teachers, counselors, administration, paraprofessionals....really anyone who is currently working with students would greatly benefit. But more so than that, anyone right now who might be feeling burnt out or overwhelmed with their job or life could really benefit from Emily's presentation." -Melissa Millington, President of the Southwest Missouri School Counselor Association
