School Presentations
Are you a school administrator looking for a presenter? Let's connect!
I originally wanted to become an elementary school teacher, when my interests changed, and I went to post-secondary for nursing. I realized that I could use my passion for teaching in a nursing context and with the start of my sleep consulting business in 2018, I was able to further continue to my passion for teaching by working 1:1 with parents, and teaching in group settings.
​
When an opportunity arose to present at my child's school, on my favorite topic (sleep!), I took the opportunity!
​
Since then, many schools have reached out as there is an increase in sleep challenges amongst students (and parents and teachers...), so it seemed fitting!
