You bring extraordinary effort, energy and care to your work. Without strong self-care practices, that same devotion can quietly deplete your gifts. Caring for your own well-being isn't a selfish act; it's a necessity that allows you to shine your brightest for yourself and the students you support.
This 4-hour professional development experience is designed to give educators – teachers, counselors, school leaders and the many others who play a role in schools – an opportunity to explore practices that can restore and nourish you so you can continue to make a positive impact on students.
You'll have an opportunity to participate in two breakout sessions covering the following topics:
· Energy care practices
· Nervous system regulation & breathwork
· Restorative movement techniques
· Reconnecting with your personal mission in education
This professional development is being provided by a collective of teachers, coaches and healers in a variety of health and wellness related fields, and is sponsored by Anne Arundel Community College for CEUs (continuing education units). Upon purchasing this package, you'll receive an email to register with AACC and to select your breakout sessions.
Co-Facilitators: Kim Brooks; Dena Deglau, Ph.D.; Krysten Lamb; Jillian Pawlowski

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to purchase this PD from an outside vendor?
The organizer, Chris DeGuzman, is an adjunct professor of Anne Arundel Community College. Registration and facilitation of this event is being handled by Chris under her personal business, FreshLeap Coaching & Consulting. The co-facilitators are a collective of practitioners who work independently and share a common belief in the importance of supporting educators.
How will I obtain my CEUs?
Upon purchasing this package you'll receive a link to register for this course through Anne Arundel Community College (AACC). The CEU fee is included in your registration and will be paid to AACC by FreshLeap Coaching & Consulting. AACC will issue your CEUs soon after. Attendance at the event is mandatory.
How will I select my breakout sessions?
You'll receive an electronic form with the breakout session descriptions and the opportunity to rank the options in order of your preference. Since some of the sessions include movement, this restricts the number of participants we can have in those sessions. We'll do our best to give each participant their top options. You'll receive an email no later than September 17 with confirmation of your breakout sessions.
Can I get a refund if I'm unable to attend?
The CEU fee (approximately $35) will be refunded provided you contact Chris - chris@freshleapcoaching.com - no later than the day after the event (Sunday, September 20, 2026) with your request. The remaining portion is non-refundable.
