Welcome to Be Well to Learn!
Some of my favorite people call me "Ms. G;"
everyone else calls me Steph.
After over 12 years as an elementary teacher and several as a wellness & nutrition coach, I am now working as an educational speaker, workshop facilitator, & consultant.
I've merged my vast experiences in education with a decade in theater & a passion for wellness to develop a strong two-part mission:
-
to help teachers improve their own health & self-care habits so they can support students with energy, patience, & empathy, and
-
to guide them to create a positive, collaborative classroom culture where all students know they matter.
Looking to add a dynamic speaker or experienced facilitator to your next conference, professional development day, or teacher center course catalog? I am now booking the 2024-2025 school year!
