You almost had it all… but it’s like you hit a brick wall

You’re a textbook high-achiever. Hustled to rise in your career. Your work isn’t just a job- it’s your vocation. Yeah, you like your salary but even more, you want to change lives. Make your mark.

—> The problem? You’re 110% exhausted, in every sense of the word.

Each day feels like a struggle just to survive- you’re constantly putting out fires, waiting for the next shoe to drop.

To say you’re overwhelmed would be the understatement of the year!

Now, all the hustling and stress is taking a toll, hurting your health, your relationships, and your happiness.

Meanwhile, your motivation and drive that got you so far are tanking, and you can’t seem to pinpoint why.

—> And that feels SCARY because some days, you just don’t recognize yourself anymore.

Truth is, you’re burning out, and while you DO still love your career… you want more:

✔️A healthy body.

✔️A calm mind.

✔️Meaningful relationships.

✔️Fun.

✔️ A renewed sense of purpose.

But everything you’ve been doing to “fix” yourself- from yoga, to vacations, to therapy- just hasn’t worked. And now? You’re at a turning point.

Take a deep breath, my friend. You’re in the right place. 

This is where I come in to help you revive your energy, restore your peace of mind, and cultivate work-life balance… without stepping back in your career.

And if you’re ready for an approach to burnout recovery that works, and doesn’t require you to quit your job or turn your life upside down… I’m here to show you the way.

I HELP WOMEN HEAL FROM BURNOUT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE

Not so long ago, I was in your shoes.

A young sociology professor, in a career I’d poured literally my entire adult life into-  winning awards for my research, publishing my work, and traveling throughout Latin America.

On the outside, I looked like success: a first gen college student turned Ivy League PhD. 

But inside? I was a wreck.

For years, I cycled in and out of overwhelm and exhaustion, even battling panic attacks, until I finally burned out.

The roots of my burnout experience weren’t actually long hours or hard work. It was pressure.

• Pressure to be perfect.

• Pressure to prove my worth.

• Pressure to be the best.

And truthfully, it was a self-imposed pressure. Yes, academia and higher ed are stressful… but the real stress was coming from within. Perfectionism. Overachieving. Imposter Syndrome.

(Maybe you can relate?)

When I hit my breaking point, there was no turning back. It was time for a pivot.

But NOT just a career pivot- an internal one.

I re-visited my values and priorities. Made basic self-care non-negotiable. Started setting boundaries and cutting stressors- while also training myself to respond to stress so that it no longer controlled me.

Eventually, I became a coach to help fellow high-achieving women get unstuck from burnout- but do it a lot faster and easier than I did.

When I burned out and left my hard-won career in academia, I thought I had no other choice. 

But I was wrong.

Now I know with certainty that you can prevent and heal burnout without giving up everything you’ve worked so hard for. 

And that’s what I help women to do in my 1-1 coaching program, THRIVE.

Before they come to me, most of my clients have already tried to “fix” themselves. They’ve tried career coaches, nutritionists, therapy, yoga… None of these solutions are bad in themselves, they’re just usually not enough.

Burnout is the result of unmanaged chronic stress that impacts the body, mind, and spirit. So I take a holistic approach to heal it:

Refuel Your energy and refocus your mind

With foundational self-care: simple nutrition, sleep, and daily movement.

Restore your calm & handle stress like a pro

With nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, and routines.

Reclaim your Spark and emotional energy

Re-align your life with your values, and insert more joy into your daily life.

In the words of a former client…

My Mission: put an end to burnout and help women create the life and health of their dreams

I believe women deserve to live vibrant, purposeful lives. We deserve a career that has impact and gives our life meaning. We deserve happiness and adventure and deep relationships.

I believe Women deserve success on our own terms.

And I’ve built my life around that belief.

I live in my hometown in coastal Rhode Island. I love to surf whenever I can, get creative in the kitchen, and enjoy life with my partner Rob and his kids. 

Family is important to me- and it’s a big reason I moved back home. When I decided to pivot away from academia, the factor that finally made me pull the plug was my mom’s health. She was diagnosed with heart disease and almost died.

That made me shift my priorities to my health, to spending more time with the people who matter most to me, and to learning as much as I could about nutrition and health, so I could support my mom.

I also love to travel and experience new cultures. I’ve traveled to 24 countries, lived in 6, and hold a special place in my heart for Central America. As a sociologist, my research focused on indigenous peoples rights in Latin America, and I lived in Guatemala for years- it still feels like my second home.

I became a sociologist and a coach to make the world a better place- whether it’s through supporting my clients, giving a local cooking or breathwork workshop, or sharing my knowledge and my voice here, online.

WELCOME. And thank you for being here.
