How I Work Differently
Many burnout programs are built around surface-level tools: productivity tweaks, mindset reframes, time management strategies, or even generic self-care tips. While those things can help in the short term, they often miss the root cause of why burnout happens in the first place, and why it keeps coming back, even after someone “takes a break” or tries a new routine.
My work goes far deeper than symptom management. I specialize in helping high-achieving, trauma-exposed professionals heal at the nervous system level, because burnout is not just about being busy or tired — it’s a physiological state of chronic stress that has rewired the brain and body into survival mode.
Here’s what sets my approach apart:
- Trauma-Informed Neuroscience
- Self-Empathy Practices
- Faith-Based Integration (Optional)
- Root-Cause Healing Over Coping
I teach clients how chronic stress impacts the brain (especially the executive functions that govern clarity, empathy, and decision-making) and how to retrain the nervous system so they can live in a regulated, resilient state — without constant effort.
Most high-achievers are skilled at empathy for others but have little practice showing it toward themselves. I guide clients through structured, science-backed self-empathy exercises that rebuild internal safety, reconnect them to their own needs, and dissolve the deep-seated guilt that often makes rest feel “wrong.”
For clients who desire it, I integrate faith into the healing process, not as a performance-driven checklist, but as a restorative, safe reconnection to God. I address how unhealed trauma can make spiritual practices feel disconnected or even triggering, and I help clients rebuild that connection from a place of trust, not striving.
Instead of teaching people how to “push through” more efficiently, I help them address the original nervous system dysregulation so they can prevent burnout from returning. This means they’re not just getting through this season — they’re creating a sustainable way of living and leading.
Who I Serve
The people who tend to get the most out of my work are high-achieving professionals, often in care-oriented or high-responsibility roles — CEOs, healthcare leaders, therapists, nonprofit directors, and women of faith who are quietly carrying an enormous load.
They are the “go-to” person for everyone else, but inside they’re:
- Exhausted, even after rest
- Emotionally numb or disconnected from joy
- Over-responsible to the point of self-abandonment
- Afraid that slowing down will make them appear weak, selfish, or replaceable
They’ve usually already tried taking time off, downloading meditation apps, going on retreats, or even going to therapy — but none of it has stopped the burnout from coming back. That’s because these were coping strategies, not deep nervous system restoration.
What My Program Offers
My signature coaching program, Burnout to Balance, is an 8-week, trauma-informed, neuroscience-based experience designed to restore energy, rebuild identity, and create sustainable well-being.
Here’s what it includes:
- Nervous System Restoration Framework – Step-by-step guidance to shift out of survival mode and into the calm, focused, connected part of the brain
- Self-Empathy Healing Practices – Daily tools to dissolve guilt, create internal safety, and rebuild self-trust
- Practical, Safe Boundaries – We develop boundaries that work for their nervous system, so they feel supported rather than unsafe
- Identity and Mindset Shifts – Moving from “my worth is in my output” to “my worth is inherent”
- Faith Integration (Optional) – For clients who want it, I support them in restoring spiritual connection without pressure or performance
The program can be delivered in small groups or one-on-one, depending on the client’s preference and needs. In either format, it is deeply personalized — because burnout recovery is never “one size fits all.”
What Clients Experience
By the end of the program, my clients aren’t just managing burnout — they’re living in a way that makes relapse into burnout unlikely.
They report:
- Renewed mental clarity and creativity
- Emotional presence with family and friends
- Peaceful, restorative rest without guilt
- Stronger connection to their values and faith
- The ability to say “no” without fear or shame
- More joy in work and life, even without major external changes
One example is Rachel, a respected healthcare leader who came to me with what she called “invisible burnout.” She was performing at a high level on the outside, but inside she was depleted, disconnected from God, and unsure how to stop the cycle.
Through our work, Rachel learned to regulate her nervous system, release the constant pressure to perform, and rebuild her sense of worth apart from achievement. Today, she’s leading from a place of clarity and peace — and she’s thriving both professionally and personally.
Why This Matters for Referalls
When someone refers a client to me, they’re not just sending them to another burnout coach, they’re connecting them with a process that’s built for lasting transformation.
Because I’m addressing the root cause, the changes clients make aren’t fragile. They don’t unravel the next time life gets stressful. My clients develop tools and internal resources that stay with them for the rest of their lives, and that ripple out into their relationships, their work, and their spiritual life.
If it would be helpful, I’d be happy to share a short overview of my Burnout to Balance program with you, or we could schedule a quick call so you can experience a sample of my approach firsthand.
I appreciate you taking the time to get to know me and my work , and I’d be honored to be a trusted resource in your network.
