MISSION

To re-spark JOY in teaching and learning. By meeting learners (teachers, students, professionals) where they are, and using reflective, strengths-based, transformative strategies I help get them to where they want to be.

  • Define and reignite each client’s fire.

  • Build bridges by using goals, goal setting, and client values as our compass.

  • Unblock pathways by identifying strengths.

  • Grant every client the gift of pause through reflective practices, mindfulness, gratitude and the like.

  • Label and recognize where joy is and where joy hides.

  • Identify and develop one’s eco-system (what is your healthy habitat - your outside environment) vs the ego-system (the habitat you’ve created in yourself - your stories, your definition of you)

  • Create. Integrate. Recalibrate. Celebrate.

  • My Values:

    Perseverance. Reflection. Creativity.

  • The Meaning Behind Middle warrior

    Middle Warrior started as a note in my phone in 2017.

    This business idea quickly flourished after moving up to the New Hampshire mountains in 2021 and deciding to make a change in my career. I was ready to step out of the classroom and start working directly with teachers, something I learned I loved doing through the fantastic number of teams I worked with over the course of my 15 years as a classroom teacher. I took a part-time role as a faculty member at a local high school, in order to start my business. After 2 years of part-time work and coaching part-time, the ideas became a reality and Middle Warrior became the real deal: Coaching Educators and Consulting with Education Businesses or Schools. Offering teen/tween yoga and mindfulness instruction to the communities I work with is a branch of this business too. It may feel far fetched, but when teachers are doing the work for themselves, it’s nice to offer an opportunity to students to do a little self-connection too.

    I believe that we’re all Middle Warriors. We’re all in the in-between, persevering, progressing, and making steps towards where we want to be. No matter what phase of life we’re in.

    What I aim to do at Middle Warrior is to work with learners of any age to get from where they are, to where they want to be - build bridges. Through Coaching this comes in the form of working with teachers and leaders on developed, set goals and achieving them through a transformative, strengths-based approach. With Consulting, I act as the bridge between business and community or business and school, putting my educator’s eye and project-based, personalized practices on the table and on the product. With Connections, it’s about helping youth develop the strategies and practices they may be seeking to find balance and breath in the heart, mind, and body, to successfully work towards their goals.

    Happy to be here, and thank you for visiting this space. Looking forward to building together.
