Stephanie Wallace, TF Alumna

Description:

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, you can never be prepared for everything that will happen in your classroom. But, you can be prepared to relax no matter what comes your way. I will teach you how to breath, give self-massages, and use aromas and colors to help you relax. I will also teach you how to use these techniques with your students to deescalate the stress level of the class. Recommended for teachers of any grade level, any subject area.
