About
Well-Nest
If you've ever felt like leadership is all responsibility and no room to breathe, you're not alone.
You want to support your team, drive change and stay grounded in your values but the system pulls you in a hundred directions at once.
It's easy to lose your spark when every day feels like you're reacting, managing and holding everything together.
At Well-Nest, we get it…because we've been school leaders too!
Our Vision
We vision is to make school leadership is sustainable, not sacrificial. Where leaders model wellbeing, create positive team cultures, and drive meaningful change without burning out.
Through a focus on self, team and the collective, we believe schools can become places where leaders truly thrive, teachers stay and students benefit from cultures of calm, care and connection.
Our Mission
We help school leaders rediscover their why, protect their wellbeing, and create the kind of team culture they dreamed of when they first stepped into leadership - moving from reactive to intentional action through sustainable leadership practices.

Why I Started Well-Nest
“Hi! I'm Aimee, a former school leader and teacher who's spent over 15 years in education, both in Australia and internationally. Like many of you, I've led teams, held space for others and kept going long after I should've asked for help.
I've felt the pressure and stress of never having enough time, energy or clarity to lead with purpose the way I truly wanted to.
The breaking point came during a particularly challenging term when I realised I was so focused on holding everyone else together that I'd completely lost sight of why I became a leader in the first place. I was losing myself in the process. I felt like I was in a constant washing machine with no idea of when it was going to turn off. I had spent nearly a decade studying yet nothing prepared for the human-led approach to effective leadership and I felt like I was sinking. That moment of recognition, that wellbeing isn't just a nice-to-have but the foundation of great leadership, changed everything for me.
I now have the pleasure of working alongside incredible school leaders who feel they have lost themselves, or feel like they are on the brink of it. The impact of sustainable leadership practices is transformative and I absolutely love what I do.
Thank you giving yourself permission to think about yourself as a leader and for exploring our website to get a better understanding of what kind of support is out there for you.
I look forward to hopefully meeting you soon.”
-- Aimee Presnall (Founder)
Who We Are Today
“The sustainable leadership practices are realistic and and practical - I was able to literally implement them the next day.”
Today, Well-Nest is more than one person. We're a growing team of experienced education leaders, coaches and wellbeing specialists who believe that leadership doesn't have to come at the cost of your health, identity or joy.
You'll get the same compassionate and strategic support that Well-Nest is known for—the kind that helps you lead with clarity, energy and purpose. We're not here to add more pressure, we're here to help you lead with greater calm and confidence, knowing you don't have to do it alone.
Our Approach: The Well-Nest Way
We're an “add in” not an “add on”.
Everything we do is built around the belief that your wellbeing shapes your leadership and your leadership shapes the lives of those around you.
That's why we support you in three core areas:
What Makes Us Different
“We're not just another PD provider or one-time training. We're not here to deliver a motivational speech and disappear.
We're the person in your corner but outside the politics of your day-to-day life. We validate how you feel, help you create space to think clearly and support you to take intentional action toward the meaningful change you want to see.
Most importantly, we stick around for the messy middle.
We've lived it, we get it and…we're here for the long haul.”

Our Impact
“I would wholeheartedly recommend this coaching program to others. It is rare to find someone who can build rapport in such a genuine way yet within a relatively short timeframe and keep the rapport progressing in an authentic and productive way. The coaching experience invited me to say out aloud what I wanted to work on giving this goal intentional space in my day to day. The coaching sessions provided guidance, check-ins, mini-goal setting towards the larger goal and essentially, a trusted ‘other’ to talk through wins and blockers. The benefits include building confidence to be creative about how more leading (and less managing) can look, the knowledge that I have made a commitment to myself and my colleagues that I will be accountable for my goals and the deliberate intention to change something leading to work that aligns with my values and purpose. Having someone to talk to that was removed from my workplace also enabled trust to build quickly. To anyone considering this coaching experience, I would say go for it! Aimee is one of the best coaches I have had the privilege of working with. She is professional, effective and respectful yet highly personable and skilled at what she does.”

“Working with Aimee has been an incredibly transformative experience for me as a leader. From the very beginning, Aimee has been unwavering in her support, always in my corner while also holding me accountable for my actions. She ensures that every decision I make is purposeful, leading to tangible progress in my leadership journey. Through our sessions, I have gained and refined essential skills, become more courageous in my decision-making, and improved elements of my own wellbeing. The most significant takeaway from my time with Aimee is the confidence to lead with intention and authenticity. Her coaching has not only enhanced my professional abilities but has also contributed positively to my personal growth. I highly recommend Aimee’s coaching program to any leader looking to elevate their impact and achieve meaningful results.”

“The knowledge and expertise within this coaching program allowed me to better organise myself both professionally and personally as well as plan to have constructive conversations with my leadership team about my future career aspirations and improve the clarity of my current role. Having Aimee available and “in my corner” provided me with a constant source of motivation and support. I believe the readings and resources I was provided allowed me to be more informed and the guidance to create clear actions allowed me to continue to progress down the path I wish to go.”
