Meet the Team

Hi, I’m Steve.

My journey in education spans over 30 years, working across independent, state, and Catholic school systems. I’ve had the privilege of serving as a primary teacher, coordinator, Head of Curriculum, Assistant Principal, and Curriculum Mentor in literacy, numeracy, and digital technologies. Throughout that time, I’ve loved the craft of teaching — but more than anything, I’ve cared deeply about the people within it.

Over the years, I began to notice something that couldn’t be ignored — incredible educators quietly carrying stress, fatigue, and pressure, often putting themselves last. I saw it in colleagues, and at times, I felt it within myself.

That realisation became a turning point.

It led me to explore a different layer of education — one that supports the inner world of the teacher. I began training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), meditation, and breathwork, and stepped into my current role as a Teacher Wellbeing Officer, researching practical ways to support stress reduction and self-regulation in educators.

The Heart of Learning was born from this journey.

Today, my work is about helping people reconnect with calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of purpose — not just in their work, but in their lives. Because when we support the human behind the role, everything begins to shift.
