Stephanie Lill (she/her)

Founder, Mindful Sparks

Lilly, the founder of Mindful Sparks, is dedicated to empowering teachers to thrive in their demanding roles. Through mindfulness practices, she helps educators connect with their Inner Landscape, their thoughts, emotions, and responses, to build a deeper understanding of what makes them tick.

With this insight, teachers learn to strengthen self-awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and build resilience, teachers can better maintain emotional balance in stressful situations and cultivate supportive environments for themselves. This solid foundation empowers them to navigate the complexities of their profession with intention and confidence.

Since beginning her career in education in 2006, Lilly has worn many hats, working in teacher training, curriculum development, and leadership positions in Pastoral Care and Child Protection as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).

Her career across Italy, England, China, Nepal, and Thailand, combined with her experience in Montessori, IB PYP, UK, and USA curricula, has shown her the challenges faced by teachers in various educational settings.

Alongside her work with Mindful Sparks, Lilly continues to teach part-time in EYFS and Primary classrooms, staying closely connected to the teaching profession she is passionate about supporting.
