As a conscious-minded teacher, you are deeply attuned to the needs of every individual in the classroom including yourself. You believe in teaching and learning experiences that are meaningful, collaborative, creative, and transformative.
The landscape has changed.
Teaching is more difficult now than at any other time in history and students require greater responsibility to educate and care for. Consequently, your personal well-being and desire to teach is suffering. We know that you need extra support to feel energized and inspired.
Education needs a new vision of thriving not surviving. This requires exceptional mentoring, professional development, and teacher resources that focus on transformative processes. When you are at your best you can offer the best to your students.
Our mission at Embodied Learnings is to help conscious-minded teachers navigate this new terrain.

“You do not need to persevere alone. If you're struggling, Traci Scheepstra is the one I'd always recommend for heart-centred support. She is wise, patient, kind, understanding and knows education inside and out. She truly sees people and listens earnestly, always without judgement. Her nature is genuine and caring. What she offers is exceptional. She has mentored and guided me in professional and personal ways so I know first-hand how meaningful and impactful this opportunity is.”

Welcome to Embodied Learnings
Hello! I’m Dr. Traci L. Scheepstra (CEO/Co-Founder). An educator, researcher, arts education specialist, writer, and an eternal optimist dedicated to helping teachers thrive in and out of the classroom.
For as long as I can remember, my dream was to be a teacher. I’ve always had a love for conversation, asking questions, learning about the world around me, sharing knowledge, and being creative. For three decades, I have been on a wondrous educational journey.
My approach to education is holistic, experiential, and arts-based, and I meet teachers heart-to-heart when we work together. As a former university professor in teacher education I have extensive knowledge of the education system, curriculum, policies, and the needs of teachers and students. It would be my honour to connect with you.
Learn more about Dr. Traci, her Co-Founder Rachel Belliveau (COO) and the Embodied Learnings Board of Directors.
“Traci was a mentor to me as an early childhood music teacher half a lifetime ago in her highly successful creative arts studio. She brings brightness of spirit and joy in being human to all aspects of teaching. I have gained much from receiving Embodied Learnings newsletters to my inbox this past year. Although movement in the classroom is challenging during the pandemic, I have incorporated at least one of these valuable lessons to the enrichment of my teaching experience and that of the students. Traci's commitment to inclusion of all involves increasing self-awareness, a very balanced approach.”

Most schools in Ontario begin every day with a reading of the Land Acknowledgment followed by the playing of the national anthem. Many students will listen to the Land Acknowledgment and some will even recite it. The question is, do they understand the meaning and intentions behind the words?
