I'M JESSICA MASON
Wellness Coach for Teachers, Experienced Educator, Green Tea Guzzler & Cultivator of Calm
I believe that when teachers remember their brilliance and own their worth- MAGIC happens
So how did I get here?
In 2013, I hit rock bottom. I was entering my final year of University studying Primary School Teaching. Back then, I was pretty carefree. I loved teaching and couldn't wait to have my very own classroom, with my very own class!
That was until, all at once it seemed, the pressures of my final year shook my world as I knew it. I started experiencing intense panic attacks that would see me crying for days on end and even worried to leave the house. I was diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, referred to a psychologist and put on medication. The next 3 years saw me on and off the same anxiety medication, in and out of panic spirals and my self-belief and confidence plummet.
I was supposed to be "living my dream." I had the full time job, the classroom that was all mine and a class of kids who I adored. So why was I feeling so run down, deflated and let's face it, downright resentful?!
It seemed as if I was on a never ending hamster wheel of emails, lesson plans, laminating and report writing.
Maybe you can relate?
That was until I came across the concepts of self-love and mindfulness. I was hooked! I began implementing what I was learning, little by little, and within weeks I could feel the stress of work begin to lessen.
I approached my manager at work, and asked her if I could start a Mindfulness Club for staff. I wanted to share what I'd been doing so that others could feel the same way.
I was taking back authorship and re-writing the story of my life, little by little. Sure, there were (and still are) moments of worry and panic, but they are fewer and far between, and I can now bounce back quicker than before.
Now, I'm living my dream by both showing up to teach in a grounded and sustainable way and supporting others to do the same in my work as a Wellness Coach for Teachers.
That is why I do what I do. That is why I coach.
I get it.
I’ve been there.
Let me support you to live more mindfully too.
