Hi, I’m Ruth — founder and CEO of Peachy Wellbeing, and The ECT Coach.
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a mum, partner, daughter, teacher, head, mentor, and coach. These roles allow me to see education from every angle — and they all share one key priority: your wellbeing.
After more than 20 years working in mainstream primary schools, I’ve seen the pressures, the joy, and the exhaustion that come with teaching. I’ve worked closely with agencies such as Autism Outreach, Behaviour Support, and CAMHS, ensuring that the pupils and families in my care receive the support they deserve. My training spans personal, social and emotional development, behaviour management, philosophy for children, and a certificate in the teaching of PSHE.
As both an Assistant Principal and now a Head of School, my focus has always been supporting staff wellbeing and mental health. I know how tough it can be to balance the demands of the classroom with your own needs — and I’ve made it my mission to change that.
Through The ECT Coach, I support Early Career Teachers to build confidence, manage workload, and find joy in teaching — without burning out. My coaching, courses, and resources are designed to give ECTs the tools they need to thrive, not just survive, in their early years of teaching.
Whether you’re an ECT navigating your first classroom or an experienced teacher ready to rediscover your balance, I’m here to help you:
✨ Reclaim your energy and passion
✨ Build confidence and boundaries
✨ Lighten your workload
✨ Feel calm, capable, and in control
Because you deserve to love teaching and live well.
If you’re ready to stop surviving and start thriving, my 1:1 Coaching programme is the perfect place to begin.
Together, we’ll:
🌿 Identify what’s draining your energy and confidence
🌿 Create simple, sustainable strategies to protect your wellbeing
🌿 Build the boundaries and mindset you need to feel calm, capable, and in control — both in and out of the classroom
This is your time to put yourself first — to feel lighter, more confident, and more you again.
