After years of teaching across all levels, from new entrants to high school, in Aotearoa and overseas, I found myself at a crossroads. I still loved education, but something wasn’t clicking. I didn’t want to quit, but I needed something to change.

A life coach helped me reconnect with my purpose, and everything shifted; I felt energised again. And I realised I wasn’t the only one feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of what was next. But when I searched for support tailored to educators like me… there was nothing. So I built it.

Pivot People began as a passion project, a space to gather all the things I wished I had when I was figuring things out.
Today, it’s a growing hub for educators who want to breathe, reflect, reset, and grow — without pressure or guilt.

Because when educators feel supported and empowered, everything shifts. And you deserve to feel that too.

I started Pivot People because I lived in the in-between. That uncomfortable space where you’re still in the job, but your heart’s not. I’ve spent years learning, trying, failing, and figuring things out the long way… and I don’t want other educators to feel like they have to do the same.

So I pulled together everything I’ve learnt, from teaching, coaching, recruitment, and real life, and created the support hub I wish I’d had. Now, my biggest drive is helping others reconnect with their purpose, gain clarity, and build momentum — with support every step of the way.

If you’re here, I hope it helps you too.
