Empowerment Coaching for Secondary Schools
​As an experienced empowerment coach, I specialise in working with schools and educators to foster emotional intelligence among secondary students.
​
My approach focuses on the profound connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, equipping students with the tools they need to navigate their personal and academic lives effectively.
What I Offer:
-
Emotional Intelligence Workshops: Engaging sessions that help students understand and manage their emotions, leading to improved relationships and academic performance.
-
Thought Awareness Training: Strategies to recognize and reframe negative thought patterns, empowering students to cultivate a positive mindset.
-
Breath-work Techniques: Practical tools that students can use to reduce stress, enhance focus, and improve overall well-being.
By integrating these essential skills into their daily lives, students will not only thrive academically but also develop self-belief, resilience and self-awareness.​
​
I invite schools to partner with me in creating a supportive environment where students can flourish emotionally and intellectually. Together, we can inspire the next generation to reach their full potential. ​

​​Laree was superb! We have been getting non-stop positive feedback from our students! Laree really held their attention throughout and had such important messages around self-inquiry, breathing exercises, using your imagination and many more strategies for looking after your mental health; we loved the interactive approach our students were actively engaged throughout the session. Thank you, Laree, for an outstanding session.

Our session with Laree was nothing short of transformative. As educators, we often carry the weight of stress and anxiety, and this workshop gave us tools to let it all go. Through gentle guidance and deep understanding, Laree Te Kanawa introduced us to 6/6 breathing and the MOM technique, powerful practices that helped us settle our nervous systems and reconnect with a sense of calm. The space was safe, supportive, and deeply restorative. We left feeling more grounded, present, and equipped with practical tools we can use daily, not just for ourselves, but to bring more calm into our classrooms.

Laree recently ran a series of wellness sessions for our students, and we were impressed by her ability to connect with the students and facilitate such a positive shift in their wellbeing and self-awareness in a short amount of time. The students learned valuable tools and strategies for managing their thoughts and emotions, which is essential for their overall development. We observed a tangible change in their demeanour, moving from feelings of anxiety and discomfort to a sense of calm and happiness. We highly recommend Laree's sessions to any school looking to support their students with practical wellness tools.
