Hi! I’m Gemma Drinkall

I get how you feel. I’ve been there! I was a dedicated, hardworking classroom teacher and middle leader but had no life beyond my classrooms walls. I lived and breathed school. I never switched off from “school mode”. I didn’t have clear boundaries and it cost me my mental health, my life outside of school and ultimately, my teaching career.

I left feeling like a failure and was ashamed that I’d dragged my flourishing career down the toilet because of a lack of boundaries and not feeling able to prioritise my needs.

Now, I am an educational wellbeing coach, supervisor and trainer, determined to help educators create the clear boundaries they need to thrive in teaching.

I created the Teacher Boundaries Course because I’ve noticed two things that teachers experience when it comes to creating their own clear boundaries:

  1. They don’t have time to implement complex strategies consistently and they feel like teaching takes over all areas of their life despite their best efforts.

  2. They enter a “boom and bust” cycle of giving everything to their job and risking burnout during the school term before spending the half term break recuperating, being ill and catching up on work before the whole cycle starts again.

I’m giving you just 10 short trainings to transform your experience of working in education to one where teaching lives in its “job box” and you are free to enjoy your life AND thrive in your job.

  • Get ready for school-free evenings.

  • Get ready for feeling lighter and more energised.

  • Get ready to excel as a teacher.

Because when you become professionally selfish, you become the best version of yourself in school and at home.

How the Teacher Boundaries Course will transform your quality of life…

Maybe you’ve gone through phases when you have implemented boundaries and you think they are clear for everyone to see and before you know it, the boundaries have disappeared and all you’re doing is working.

Perhaps up until this point, you’ve given teaching a VIP pass to all areas of your life and you’ve experienced burnout; you don’t want to go through that trauma again.

Maybe you’re unsure how much longer you can survive in education.

With the prompts that I give you in the Teacher Boundaries Course, this will change.

You’ll go from an educator who has no time for their life commitments, to knowing exactly where your boundaries are and enjoying a happy work-life blend.

You’ll go from no time to do things for yourself to confidently asserting your needs and filling your own cup.

Your confidence in your ability to thrive in teaching will soar as you feel inspired and energised to take small actions that lead to big transformations in your quality of life.

What will happen if you do not sign up for the Teacher Boundaries Course?

You'll continue to go above and beyond in your job, bringing you little appreciation but a whole lot closer to burnout.

You'll continue to have the dissatisfying work-life balance you're already experiencing.

I know that most educators pump all their time and energy into their work, for the betterment of their students and colleagues and yet, often have so little left at the end of the day for themselves or their own family.

This is your opportunity to try something new and get NEW results.

This is your opportunity to learn from an educational wellbeing coach and teacher boundaries expert, who knows what you need to thrive in teaching NOW.
