The Whole Teacher® Guidebook

As a Director of Educator Wellness, I have found the Whole Teacher model invaluable, both personally and professionally. Our program integrates this model to guide our interactions with educators. we also use the Whole teacher model during our city-wide monthly wellness support groups. The educators appreciate the lessons and daily prompts they receive, finding them very beneficial.

Lauren's workshops are particularly impactful; her passion for educator wellness is evident and resonates with participants. The guidebook has been instrumental in helping me set small, achievable weekly wellness goals and in supporting my work with educators. I highly recommend the guidebook and booking Lauren for educator wellness workshops. You won’t regret it!

Lauren makes improving wellness so easy with this carefully thought out and comprehensive guidebook that provides tons of little strategies in twelve holistic areas. In a time when teacher burnout is at an all time high, this book comes along as a powerful panacea. As a school psychologist, I wanted to check out the book to see if it's something I could make available for teachers. I used the book myself this year, learning important little tips that make a big difference. For example, I love to eat dessert. I learned that eating it right after the meal is better for me because it prevents a blood sugar spike if I wait a while after the meal. I love that it offers guidance in so many areas, even personal finance. All of these areas work together to alleviate stress and enhance joy. I just cant say enough about this book. I've met Lauren, and she is a warm and loving soul. This book is a gift of love and care to the universe written by someone with teaching experience. Inspired by the potential impact, I wrote and received two grants to provide copies of this book to the interested teachers and TA's in my two schools--the majority of teachers signed up and are extremely grateful. Hearing that it was written by a former teacher generated immediate buy in because teachers know that Lauren understands what it's like to be a teacher. It would also make a nice book study book. I highly recommend the Whole Teacher! You matter and you deserve this!

The book allowed me (and forced me) to find pause, review the objective for that day and then return to work- it was a built-in mindful experience I could do daily.

In very simple, noninvasive ways, the guidebook shows the way to self-care. One day at a time it changes things!!

This book was such a great resource for me to use both professionally and personally. It has changed my mindset and outlook at my job and in my life at home. I will use these strategies in both places. I highly recommend it to anyone who would like tips and strategies to use to help you physically and mentally.
