Our Story

Hey there! 👋 Let me share a story about why NurturED Solutions exists (and trust me, it's quite the journey!)

Picture this: I'm sitting in my classroom, living for those lightbulb moments when students' faces light up with understanding (you know the ones! 🌟). For 10 years, teaching was my everything. But underneath all that passion? Burnout was slowly creeping in, until one day... well, let's just say there were a lot of tears in my car after packing up my classroom of 10 years into my van.

Taking two years to focus on healing taught me something huge: self-care isn't just about bubble baths and meditation apps (though hey, those are nice too! 🛁). It's about creating systems that actually support the incredible humans who pour their hearts into education every day.

When I came back as an Instructional Coach, something unexpected happened. Teachers would come in to talk about curriculum but end up sharing their hearts about anxiety, burnout, and that awful feeling of never being enough. (Been there, felt that! 💔)

Then came the pandemic (plot twist! 😱), and everything changed. While coaching teachers one-on-one through their stress and burnout, I had this massive "AHA!" moment: no amount of individual coaching could fix a broken system. These amazing educators needed BOTH - support for their personal growth AND a system that wasn't constantly pushing them to the edge.

That question kept haunting me: "Who's taking care of the people who are taking care of our children?" 🤔

And that's how NurturED Solutions was born! We're here to help create actual cultures of care in schools - places where educators don't just survive, they THRIVE! We're talking about environments where feedback isn't scary (imagine that!), where high standards and psychological safety can coexist (yes, it's possible!), and where wellbeing isn't just a fancy buzzword but the actual foundation of everything.

When I dream about the future we're building (and believe me, I dream BIG! 🌠), I see schools where everyone holds the light together. Where taking care of each other isn't just a nice idea, it's how we do things around here.

Because here's what I know for sure: when we nurture the people who nurture our children, magic happens. Real, transformative, change-the-world kind of magic. ✨

That's why we're here. We're not just dreaming about a better educational system - we're rolling up our sleeves and building it, one relationship at a time, one school at a time, one leader at a time.

And trust me... we're just getting started! 🚀

(P.S. If you're an educator reading this and thinking "YES! THIS!" - I see you, I've been you, and we're here to help create the change you deserve! 💪)
