2025 UPDATE: 
I’m currently unavailable for long-term placements, but I am able to offer one-off mindfulness/wellbeing sessions, remotely if needed. Any visits in person will be undertaken in compliance with the latest DfE COVID-19 safety guidance/school policy. 

Check out my stories on the ‘Slumber’ app, the ‘Get Sleepy‘ podcast (available on Apple, Google, Spotify and more!) or YouTube channel. 

If you’re interested in child-friendly mindfulness, you might enjoy my lockdown project – 100 days of mindfulness, here on my YouTube channel.

Jo Steer is a UK teacher with a unique mix of experience and skills, working in infant, primary and secondary schools across West Yorkshire, delivering bespoke wellbeing packages on a supply basis. 

Her passion for mindfulness-based holistic education, led by her own first-hand experiences of anxiety from childhood, make her the ideal school visitor amidst turbulent times. Alongside years of classroom experience (specialising in the teaching of History, Life Skills and students with Special Educational Needs), she is a qualified Forest School practitioner, a Yogakidz instructor and has training in CBT essentials and mindfulness for children and adults.

From one-off mindfulness masterclasses to small-group workshops in confidence-building; history supply cover to pre-SATs wellbeing boosters – there’s something for everyone.  

In all sessions, the emphasis is on providing a mix of skills, knowledge and practical takeaways that students can use immediately to better their mood, mindset and mental health in a lasting and meaningful way. Emotional intelligence and resilience are at the heart of what we do.
