Ultimately, the goal of any coaching is very straighforward - it is to create a desired change in a client’s life. My coaching uses four pillars that enables the transformation in my client's life. These are:

Safety through nervous system regulation

Einstein famously said, “The level of consciousness that created the problem cannot solve the problem.” This is true for addressing burnout also. The common denominator in most people experiencing burnout is some degree of chronic stress, shifting our consciousness into survival mode—constantly stuck in fight/flight or freeze. To initiate recovery, we must shift our nervous system out of survival mode by a trifecta of releasing stored stress, sending signals of safety, and activating the ‘rest and digest’ branch of the nervous system. Once the nervous system releases the grip of survival fear, three key things happen:

Calm Energy is Released: This energy is distinctly different from the high-octane adrenaline that fuels a survival response. It’s a more grounded and sustainable form of vitality that supports well-being.

Clarity of Mind Unlocks: When survival fear is no longer in control, our mind can shift from a narrow, survival-focused view to a broader perspective. This restores our connection to the pre-frontal cortex, integrates both hemispheres of the brain, and allows for clearer thinking and better decision-making.

New Inspiration and Insights Emerge: With the nervous system in a state of safety, creativity and insight can flow more freely. This newfound calm and clarity create space for fresh ideas and inspiration to surface, guiding us towards innovative solutions and renewed purpose.

insights ThROUGH sensations

Noticing our bodily sensations while navigating emotional dilemmas or complex thoughts can unlock profound insights. In my coaching sessions, I guide you into a mindful, grounded state where you feel safe to connect with your emotions. By using your physical sensations as a thread, we explore beneath the surface to uncover deeper truths. This approach not only reveals the subconscious roots of surface-level issues but also helps you stay present while processing challenging or uncomfortable thoughts about the past or future.

Clarity through compassionate Inquiry

Clarity through compassionate inquiry is a crucial pillar in burnout coaching. This approach uses gentle, open-ended questions to explore your inner world with kindness and curiosity. By delving into your current values, wounds, gifts, unique signature, and biggest stressors, you can uncover misplaced priorities and deeper insights into your burnout. Compassionate inquiry reveals hidden beliefs and emotional patterns, fostering self-compassion and guiding you to actionable changes. This method helps you address the root causes of stress with a supportive mindset, leading to meaningful healing and sustainable well-being.

Aligned action through embodiment

Pillars 1 -3 unlock self-compassion, easeful energy, inspiration, and clarity of thought. This sets the stage for taking conscious actions, creating boundaries to protect our sensitive side, and building a healthier relationship with work and life. 

When one works on the above layers, one can now start self-actualization through practical, grounded actions. 

When the nervous system is free of fear, clarity and strength arise.

When the mind is clear, truth emerges.

When emotional wounds heal, our authentic self is revealed.

Now it’s time to make serious changes in your life through practical actions.

These practical, individualized steps create a tangible shift in burnout, launching you into a new, empowered version of yourself. By addressing root causes and equipping you with effective tools, you’ll experience lasting change and a future free from burnout.
