You care deeply about what you do. But carrying it all can get heavy.
Maybe you are:
-
Constantly thinking about work long after teaching has finished
-
Struggling to put boundaries in place with parents or your team
-
Navigating anxious, overwhelmed or emotionally dysregulated students
-
Questioning whether you handled a difficult conversation well
-
Trying to support everyone while your own wellbeing slips down the list
-
Wanting to lead differently, but not always knowing what that looks like in practice
The Academy gives you somewhere to bring those conversations before they become bigger problems.
More than training. A place to think, learn and be supported.
The Butterfly Mind Academy combines ongoing professional development with practical support for the person behind the teacher.
We explore the issues that genuinely affect dance schools, communication, burnout, boundaries, parent expectations, student wellbeing, pressure, confidence, leadership and culture and turn them into practical strategies you can use in the real world.
You do not need to wait until something becomes a crisis before asking for help.
Support is generous. Access is structured.

make clearer decisions instead of constantly second-guessing themselves

communicate with more confidence
-
create stronger boundaries without unnecessary guilt

understand what may be sitting underneath student behaviour

The Academy is for you if…
You are a:
-
dance teacher
-
studio owner or principal
-
teacher in training
-
team leader
-
dance educator carrying responsibility for other people
…and you want professional support that understands the emotional and cultural realities of the dance world.
You do not need to be struggling to belong here.
The Academy is just as valuable for teachers who want to work proactively rather than waiting until something goes wrong.
This isn’t another membership designed to give you more homework.
The Academy is not about consuming endless content or becoming a “better” teacher by doing more.
It is about having somewhere to step back, think clearly, learn from what is happening around you and make small, meaningful changes that strengthen the way you teach and lead.
Come live when you can.
Use the replay when you cannot.
Take what helps.
Apply it where it matters.

FAQ
Do I need to attend everything live? No. The Academy is designed to fit around the realities of teaching. Live sessions are valuable when you can attend, but replays allow you to catch up when you cannot.
Is this therapy? No. The Academy offers professional development, coaching, education and reflective support. It is not a replacement for counselling, therapy or medical support.
Is this only for studio owners? No. The Academy is for dance teachers, studio leaders and educators at different stages of their careers.
What happens when I join? payment → welcome email → community access → vault → upcoming call dates.
What if I don’t have a particular problem right now? You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. Much of the Academy is about becoming more confident, informed and proactive before problems escalate.
Can I cancel? Yes. There is no required notice period, just a curtesy email to inform of your cancellation.

This is what I needed.
The emotional and mental support to help the with the weight of it all. Having Kim's has been a true life saver. Running a school is overwhelming. Kim made it feel manageable again. Her strategies improved my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of my students
