What if schools could feel different?

Embrace Your Spark is a call to bring emotional and relational intelligence back into the heart of education, so students and educators feel safer, seen, and supported.

Why This Work Matters

Schools are under strain.
Violence, burnout, disconnection, and unmet emotional needs are showing up in classrooms every day.

As an educational assistant with years of frontline experience, I’ve seen what happens when emotional and relational needs go unmet, and I’ve also seen what becomes possible when they are honoured.

Embrace Your Spark was born from that lived reality.

What Is Embrace Your Spark?

Embrace Your Spark is both a philosophy and a practical framework

grounded in Emotional and Relational Intelligence (ERI).

It helps educators:

  • Support emotional regulation and resilience

  • Build safer, more connected learning environments

  • Respond to conflict with compassion and clarity

  • Strengthen relationships without sacrificing boundaries

This work does not ask educators to do more.
It helps them do things differently, and more sustainably.

Rooted in Experience. Guided by Compassion.

This work is shaped by:

  • Real classroom experiences

  • Research-informed emotional intelligence

  • A belief that empathy, safety, and accountability can coexist

Change in education doesn’t begin with programs.
It begins with how we relate, to ourselves and to one another.
