FACULTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

WORK WELL.
BE WELL.

Helping depleted faculty carve out a healthier, more joyful path to success in academia.

Your well-being can feel like the price of faculty success, especially if you're...

  • Using nights and weekends to write, not recharge
  • Caring for children and/or elderly family members
  • Buried under the weight of heavy service commitments
  • Dealing with constant micro (and macro) aggressions

And that's not okay.
You deserve a successful AND nourishing work-life.

A successful and nourishing faculty life starts here.

I've been practicing and writing in the areas of wellness and social justice for 20+ years.

And I know from experience that joy, connection, and sustainable progress are possible in the academy, even in the face of systemic and institutional forces. 

Sharing this knowledge is why I started WellAcademic and why I'm glad you stopped by. 

So, take a look around at all the goodness we offer.
