I didn't study burnout. I survived it.

Burnout doesn't look like falling apart. It looks like keeping it together.

It's Sunday at 4 p.m. and your chest is already tight.

You're patient with everyone all day. Then you snap at the people you love most.

You've stopped enjoying the things you used to love. You tell yourself it's just this school year. But this has been going on for years.

You're doing everything "right." And you're still feeling empty.

This isn't a character flaw. It's a nervous system that never gets to stand down.

I taught English and creative writing and worked in education for 15 years. I poured everything into my students until my own health hit a breaking point.

That breakdown changed everything. I went back to school — twice — to make sure I could do this work properly. Now I coach people who give so much to others and have nothing left for themselves.

You're not too far gone. You're not too late. You're not alone.

Who I work With

Built for teachers. Open to anyone who gives until they're empty.

Teachers are where I started and where my story lives. Fifteen years in education means I know that type of exhaustion firsthand.

But burnout doesn't check your job title. If you give everything to everyone else and have nothing left for yourself, you're in the right place.

Credentials

Trained. Certified. Qualified to do this work

I'm not a wellness influencer with a certificate from a weekend course. I hold a board certification in health and wellness coaching (NBC-HWC), the same credentialing standard recognized by medical and healthcare institutions, plus a master's degree in health and wellness coaching, a master's in education, and specialized training in trauma-informed care.

What that means for you:

· NBC-HWC (National Board Certification for Health & Wellness Coaching): Board-certified coaches meet a national standard set with medical and healthcare organizations. This isn't a title I gave myself. I earned it.

· M.A., Health & Wellness Coaching: Graduate-level training in behavior change, physiology, and evidence-based coaching methods, not just good intentions.

· M.Ed., Curriculum and Instruction: 15 years in education and classrooms means I understand educator burnout from the inside, not from case studies.

· Trauma-Informed Certified: I know how to hold space for stress and trauma responses safely, so our work never retraumatizes you.

You make time for everyone else. It's time to hold space for YOURSELF.
