Education, Creativity, & Wellness

Welcome Friends!

I’m Annette Durbin—an educator, education consultant, creator, and coach committed to supporting whole-person growth. Whether you’re guiding students in a classroom, homeschooling with intention, nurturing your creativity, or working toward healthier rhythms at home, you’re likely here because you care deeply about growth.

You will notice my work lives at the intersection of education, creativity, and wellness — offering thoughtful guidance, practical tools, and steady encouragement for every season. I’m glad you’re here. Let’s find the space that feels most aligned for you right now.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

Below, you’ll find the four primary areas of my work. While each serves a distinct audience, they are united by the same foundation: thoughtful guidance, whole-person growth, and sustainable learning. The work I do flows from one philosophy but reaches into different spaces—whether you are seeking homeschool support, teaching resources, creating meaningful connections, or tending to your own well-being. I invite you to explore the space that feels most aligned with your current season, and begin there.

💚 ROOTED in Wellness

Through ROOTED in Wellness, I offer faith-informed coaching and encouragement focused on healthy meals, sustainable habits, balance, and caring for the whole person.

While each area of my work serves a different need, they are all rooted in the same foundation: thoughtful guidance, sustainable growth, and care for the whole person. Over the years, I’ve learned that growth rarely happens in isolation. Whether in a classroom, around a kitchen table, in a creative space, or within our own personal habits, we move forward best when we are supported and encouraged. You don’t have to navigate your next step alone. Explore the space that speaks to you, and when you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
