It's Hard to Teach When You Are Running on Empty.
Â
You are always the one holding it together. This is where you get to be held.
A Different Kind of Social/Emotional Training.
One for you to experience.
You’ve made it through another school year… barely.
You’ve done your best to hold it all together — the lesson plans, the big emotions, the never-ending to-do list.
Your patience is thin. Your heart is a bit heavy.
Your nervous system is one more email away from snapping.
And the teacher “self-care” PD? Cute. But not practical.
You don’t need another toolkit or system to manage your class.
You need space to come back to yourself.
To soften.
To feel.
To rebuild from within.
Teachers are expected to lead with emotional intelligence —
but no one is giving them space to feel, heal, or regulate their own nervous systems.
Learning about SEL is intellectual.
Understanding SEL is theoretical.
But experiencing SEL in your own body?
That’s what changes everything.
Most trainings stop at information.
But it's hard to teach what you haven’t embodied.
Embodied Educator helps you actually feel what regulation, emotional clarity, and grounded presence are—
so that teaching SEL becomes natural, not scripted.
Because kids don’t need a perfectly worded lesson.
They need a steady adult who lives what they’re learning.
The classroom doesn’t need more control.
It needs more calm — and that starts in your own body.
Here is the space and time do it.Â

No Fluff
No fluff, no guilt, no toxic positivity. We hope it is a path from burnout → to body wisdom → to embodied SEL.

Your Journey Through Embodied Educator
Module 01
Come Home to Your Body
Regulation, Restoration, and Realignment
This part is all about calming your system and reconnecting with your physical self. You’ll learn how to recognize your stress states, use micro-rituals to regulate, and release tension stored in your fascia and lymph. We’ll explore how your body holds the story of the school year — and how to gently let that go. It’s like a deep exhale for your nervous system.
Module 02
Feel It to Heal It
Emotional Awareness, Expression, and Co-Regulation
You can’t lead SEL if you’ve lost access to your own emotions. In this part, you’ll practice softening your inner critic, naming what you feel (with more than just “tired” or “stressed”), and safely moving emotion through your body. You’ll learn how co-regulation really works — and how to protect your heart without numbing it.
Module 03
Rewire Your Mindset
Mental Clarity, Mindfulness, and Inner Wisdom
Here’s where we shift from survival mode into creative, conscious presence. You’ll unpack common thought loops (like “I’m not doing enough”), build mental flexibility, and use gratitude, wonder, and visualization as real brain tools — not just feel-good ideas. This is where you learn to pause, pivot, and lead with clarity.
Module 04
Teach It Forward
Practical Tools to Bring SEL Into the Classroom
This is where it all comes together. You’ll learn how to model regulation, create rhythms that support emotional safety, and embed small SEL practices into your day without needing a new curriculum. You’re not just learning SEL here — you’re becoming it. Your presence will teach long before your words do.
What You Will Walk Away With:
Â
This isn’t just another training. It’s a reset — for your body, your heart, and your mind. By the end of Embodied Educator, you’ll have:
* A deeper connection to your own nervous system, so you can respond — not just react
* Tools to help you feel grounded and calm, even when things get chaotic
* A way to process the emotional weight of teaching, without pretending everything’s fine
* Practical micro-rituals that bring you back to yourself in real time
* Co-regulation skills that help your students feel safe and seen — without you burning out.
* The confidence to model emotional intelligence, not just teach about it
*Practical ways to bring Social/Emotional Learning to your classroom.
Hi! I'm Danielle.
I'm happy you are here!
Â
I am a teacher, owner and creator of Wonder Garden curriculum, certified mind/body instructor, and deeply feeling human who once believed I could “power through” anything with enough heart.
But after my third year of teaching, I could feel something shifting. The joy I used to bring into the classroom started to fade. My patience ran thinner. My body felt tense all the time. I knew I needed something — but I didn’t have the words yet for what that was.
That search led me on a nearly 20-year journey through somatic practices, nervous system healing, breathwork, mindfulness, and what I now understand as regulation. Back then, I just knew I didn’t want to lose the part of me that loved this work.
Embodied Educator is the course I wish I had then.
It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about coming home — gently, consistently, and with tools that actually work.
If you're tired of pretending you're fine, this is your permission to feel, heal, and begin again.
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’re just ready to stop pretending you’re fine.
And that... is where the real work begins.
This is for you if…
- You care deeply (maybe too deeply)
- You’re done with professional development that feels disconnected from real life
- You want your presence to be the calm in the room — not the chaos
- You’re ready for emotional support that actually supports
- You’re here to raise or teach emotionally resilient humans… but also need a reset of your own
- You want to lead with presence, not pressure.Â
