My Story of burnout and transformation

Seven years ago, I was completely exhausted, overwhelmed, and burnt-out. I was over-extending myself in my job and my personal life, without much to show for it. I poured every last ounce of myself into taking care of others until there was nothing left for myself.I found myself feeling increasingly exhausted, irritable, and resentful of my job, the people around me, and my life in general. I missed the joyful, fun person I used to be when life was “simpler.”

Does this sound familiar?

At the time of experiencing burnout, I was a psychotherapist preaching self-care to my clients, but I was not applying this advice to myself. I reached a turning point of deciding that this was not the way I wanted to keep living. I made the choice to start INVESTING in my own self-care (cue investing thousands of dollars into yoga teacher training, and Reiki certification, hiring my own life coach, etc). Every penny I have spent on my self-development has come back to me tenfold, and has changed my life in PRICELESS ways.

I made it my mission to focus on developing daily self-care routines, re-programming my thinking to be more positive and resilient (yes this is possible), and shifting my perspective to look at my life as if I am the DESIGNER and CREATOR of my own life experience. From there I have gotten crystal clear on the kind of life I am trying to build, brick by brick.

In the last four years of delving into professional coaching, I have seen RAPID changes in my career and my schedule. I now work half as long for twice as much income, in an ideal work schedule I set, making a deeper impact on the people I work with, with a trajectory I’m excited about. I’ve created a life full of purpose and intentional self-care that I don’t need a vacation from. I am FINALLY truly, deeply happy with the life I have created. This is not to say my life is perfect, but I feel more authentic, more fulfilled, more confident, and have better boundaries than I ever had. I no longer feel like a helpless participant in what life has to throw at me. I feel a deep sense of myself and my purpose.

I share my story as testament to what is possible. I thought the above was IMPOSSIBLE 7 years ago. Now I continue to surprise myself with what is possible.

If you’re currently feeling stuck or stagnant in the daily grind, you were meant to read this:

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

There are ALWAYS more easeful options available to you that your survival brain can’t see at the moment. There is neuroscience behind why we get stuck, that I can help you understand and harness for your benefit. There are unconscious ways you are sabotaging your own happiness and success. I can help you pinpoint and heal those areas too.

My Clients

I created Self-Care Consulting because I believe you should have access to the tools needed to live your best life. My ultimate goal is to help people (especially fellow “healers and helpers”) achieve higher states of ease, personal peace, success, and joy, and to spread their gifts with the world.

With my one-to-one coaching and online resource offerings, I teach my clients how to:

• manage their stress

• create better boundaries

• master their thoughts and mindset

• reignite their passions

• get clarity on their goals

• consciously DESIGN the life they’ve always wanted

• take consistent action towards their goals

• achieve their “impossible” dream

So far all the clients who have chosen to partner with me are true kindred spirits: high functioning, intelligent, self-sufficient and caring. They give every last ounce of themselves to others until there’s nothing leftover for themselves. I do not hesitate to say they are the best type of people on this planet and yet when they come to me, they are getting the short end of the stick. Their spirits have been slowly crushed by misaligned careers and relationships and beliefs about themselves. They invest in coaching because they feel they were not living up to their highest potential or getting to deeply enjoy their lives. I love watching them rapidly transform, confidently make changes, and become the best versions of themselves.

My approach

My coaching is the culmination of 10+ years of experience in clinical psychotherapy, 6 years of yoga teaching, and years of research on the most cutting-edge science in healing burnout as well as holistic healing modalities (yoga, ayurveda, reiki, energy healing, and spiritual practices). What sets me apart from other coaches is the way I straddle both worlds, the “woo” and the “textbook,” to help my clients reach deeper levels of healing and growth than they can get in just the medical world (therapy, psychiatry, western medicine) or the holistic world alone. DEEP wisdom and healing comes with the conscious integration of the two. I am non-dogmatic and client-centered about my approach: I let my clients know what tools I have to offer, and let them them opt-in or out of utilizing each approach. Some of my clients skew more “traditional” and “scientific” and some lean way more spiritual/holistic. I will listen deeply to what you want and are most comfortable with.

Through integrating neuroscience, positive psychology, and therapy tools with holistic practices (yoga, mindfulness, biohacking, spiritual practice), I help my clients achieve rapid relief from their stress and help them reclaim their JOY. From there, I help my clients identify the “dream life” they want to be living, and help them systematically work towards achieving it. This is where we leave behind simply “surviving” and finding what it truly means to THRIVE.

The thing is, we only get this one life…

Do you really want to trudge your way through it?

I am confident that deep joy, purpose and success IS possible in your life. I also know from experience with myself and my clients that it is actually never that far out of your reach… You just need some guidance, a plan, some life-hacking skills, and support to seize the dream.
