Coaching for Secondary Schools

With over 13 years of experience in the classroom, I deeply understand both the rewards and the pressures of teaching. While education can be incredibly fulfilling, it often comes with high levels of stress, overwhelm, and emotional exhaustion. At the same time, students today are navigating intense pressure to succeed, belong, and be accepted — leading to rising levels of anxiety, stress, and disconnection.

​​

How I Support Schools:

I partner with schools to deliver practical, empowering workshops that provide both educators and students with the mindset tools and emotional skills needed to thrive — inside and outside the classroom.

​

Workshops are designed to build:

  • Emotional intelligence in both teachers and teens

  • Strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

  • Emotional regulation and resilience during challenging times

 

Each offering is tailored to the specific needs of your school community.

Let’s Work Together

I’d love to connect and explore how we can create a more grounded, confident, and supportive environment for your staff and students.

​​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 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 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.
