Christilience for Educators
Come just as you are: Become who you were created to be.
Are you striving in education with faith at your centre?
You know the work is harder and more complex than it's ever been.
Sleepless nights. Endless to-do lists that grow longer no matter how much you tick off. Meeting heavy pastoral needs alongside challenging academic targets. It's difficult to remember the core calling in the midst of all the noise and rush.
You've tried all the things: cakes in staff meetings, reading books on wellbeing, attending professional development, journaling about self-care, lunchtime yoga sessions, a day off for Christmas shopping.
This Is For You If...
You're striving in education with faith at your centre.
Perhaps you're in a Church of England or Christian setting, managing the challenges of classrooms and curriculum while longing to Rediscover Passion.
You're in leadership, carrying the weight of decisions that affect your entire school community, wondering how to Improve Impact.
You could be a homeschooling community, pouring everything into learning with a focus on Deepening your Care.
Perhaps you're coordinating religious education, leading children's ministry, serving as a school chaplain, or teaching Sunday school, giving your time and heart to others' spiritual growth without finding time or space for your own.
Wherever you serve, you need to:
• Discover the resilience that sustains you
• Live out your values in your everyday work
• Remember what it means to educate practically in Christ-like ways
• Navigate difficult situations with clarity, empathy and grace
• Find rhythms that honour both your calling and your humanity
If that sounds like you, you're in the right place..
Ready to Explore?
Here's how to get started:
Book a conversation
No sales pitch, just an honest conversation about where you and your team are and where you want to be. We'll explore whether working together makes sense for us both.
Explore what's coming
I'm developing resources and programs specifically for faith-based teams and educators. Stay connected to be the first to know or to commission a piece of work for your team and individual context.
Just reach out
Sometimes you just need to connect with someone who gets it. I do.
Let's talk.
Here’s How We Work Together
Through thought partnership, coaching, and resource sharing, we work on what matters most to you and your team:
When burnout is your reality
Real, sustainable rhythms that enable you and your team to light up without burning out. We'll discover space for growth and the alignment needed for flourishing.
Building resilience that goes deep
This isn't about pushing through or being tough, it's about discovering strength rooted in Christ - the kind that renews rather than depletes. We'll explore what that really looks like for yourself and your team.
Closing the gap between values and behaviours
You already know what you believe. Living that out when you're challenged, overwhelmed or exhausted is where the real work lies. Together we'll remember how to walk your talk with courage, integrity and intent.
Teaching the way Jesus taught
With daily compassion, wisdom, and grace, we'll get practical about what Christ-like teaching really looks like in your context.
Navigating hardship
Difficult students. Challenging parents. System pressures. The weight of it all. Whatever you're facing, we'll overcome it with Christilience.
Meet Your Hosts
Rachel | Thought Partner and Coach for Educators
I'm Rachel. I spent 23 years doing the work in Church of England, Christian and Independent Schools. I've been right where you are, whatever your role. I joined Christilience because I deeply believe that educators need something more than what is generally available. You need practical support that creates space for you, for your faith, your calling, your team and your striving.
Christilience for Educators creates that space.

Testimonial
Clive Atkinson, Rector of Willowfield Parish Church, Belfast
I have been working with Paul since the beginning of 2024 addressing complex issues around leadership, staff team management, building projects, and fundraising…Paul's experience both in business and in church leadership has been invaluable in helping me understand the dynamics of leadership, be strategic in my thinking, see potential solutions and plan a step by step way forward. In fact, if I am honest, working with Paul has restored hope in the face of some challenging times. I highly recommend him to any one in church leadership.
