Hi, I'm Carman...
I’m a teacher, coach, and author who helps educators reconnect with what matters, without sacrificing themselves in the process.
After 15 years in the classroom (and 20+ in education), I found myself burned out and barely hanging on. That experience didn’t break me - it rebuilt me. Now, I walk alongside teachers as they rebuild too.
Through coaching, workshops, retreats, and my book "Teachers First: A Guide to Avoiding and Overcoming Burnout", I support teachers in creating rhythms that restore their energy, leadership that reflects their values, and classrooms that feel more like communities. I believe that teaching is leadership, and it starts with how we show up every day.
I live on a ranch in Alberta, where the rhythms of land, family, and aligned living continue to shape both my life and my mission. If you’re an educator who’s poured everything into your classroom and still feel like it’s not enough, know this: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to do it all.
