Hi, I’m Shannan — founder of Bloom Again Coaching

I'm a teacher-turned wellbeing coach, mum, and former burnt-out educator. Bloom Again Coaching was born from my own experience of hitting burnout, questioning everything, and slowly rebuilding a life and career that felt sustainable, aligned and human again.

I hold a Bachelor of Applied Science, postgraduate studies in Education and Career Development/Counselling, and am a certified NLP Practitioner with neuroscience specialisation - alongside my coaching certification and lived experience as a former burnt-out teacher.

Today, I support teachers and school communities to understand what burnout really is, calm their nervous systems, and create healthier ways of working and living.

My path here

I began my career in career counselling and development, working with young people who felt lost or unsure of their direction. I taught career education, supported schools, and even served on the board of the Career Development Association of Australia.

When I became a mum, I pivoted into Early Childhood Education - seeking more family-friendly work.

I loved the children, but the emotional load, documentation, responsibility and pace eventually pushed me into deep burnout. Even with all my professional training, I didn’t see it coming. Living burnout from the inside changed everything.

The rebuild

My healing came from:

• nervous-system education

• self-compassion

• honest conversations about career alignment

• and permission to make choices that actually fit my life

This became the foundation of the Five Daisies Framework™ - a gentle, human roadmap through burnout and into hope, healing, joy, purpose and vitality.

Bloom Again Coaching now blends:

• education

• coaching

• career development

• behavioural understanding

• and my lived experience

…to support teachers in a practical, brain-based and deeply compassionate way.

What I do now

🌼 For Teachers

I help burnt-out educators feel like themselves again through:

• the 8-Week Bloom Again Program

• 1:1 coaching

• career clarity & next-season support (planting the seeds)
A gentle, guided space to reflect, explore possibilities, and begin shaping what your next season in education (or beyond) could be.

🌼 For Schools & Leaders

I offer teacher-centred wellbeing support for schools, including:

• Burnout & nervous system–informed PD
• Small-group coaching and leadership wellbeing sessions
• Pilot programs and partnerships available by enquiry

Across all my work, the mission is the same:

to help educators feel human again.

What I believe

• Burnout isn’t a personal failure.

• Teachers deserve workplaces that honour their humanity.

• Rest, regulation and joy are not luxuries - they’re essential.

• You’re allowed to design a life and a career that fits you.
