From Burnout & Perfectionism to Radical Self-Trust - How I Finally Stopped Proving My Worth

I spent years achieving, over-giving, and doubting myself - until I discovered the missing piece: nervous system healing & subconscious rewiring. Now, I help high-achievers break free from survival mode for good.

I See You, Because I Was You.

I built my life on achievements. I worked hard, I over-gave, I burned out. And when I tried to “fix” myself through therapy, self-help books, and pushing harder, nothing changed.

It wasn’t until I discovered nervous system healing that everything shifted.

• I stopped over-functioning in relationships.

• I set boundaries without guilt.

• I finally felt at home in myself.

Now, I help high-achievers like you break the cycle, too.

I spent years pushing through - believing that if I just worked harder, learned more, or became better, I would finally feel whole. But despite reaching every milestone, the emptiness remained.

Until I realised something profound: healing isn’t about doing more - it’s about unbecoming everything that was never truly you.

The Breaking Point That Led to My Healing

I started my career as a nurse specialising in neuro-intensive care, helping others navigate some of their most vulnerable moments. I later became a Specialist Community Public Health Nurse, earned an MSc in Medical and Health Care Education, and took on leadership roles in health education. I was accomplished, respected, and yet - I was running on empty.

I was also a mother, a wife, and a relentless giver. I poured my energy into everyone else, believing that my value came from how much I could do for others. But in the process, I lost myself.

When I hit burnout, I thought changing careers would fix everything. I became a health coach, certified women’s coach, and a yoga teacher. I collected certifications, attended countless trainings, and kept striving. But something still felt missing.

Then came the diagnosis - CPTSD and a chronic health condition.

That was my wake-up call. My body was screaming for my attention, and I finally listened. I realised that my perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving weren’t just personality traits - they were survival strategies rooted in childhood trauma.

I needed to stop treating symptoms and start healing from within.

The Turning Point: A Return to Wholeness

Healing wasn’t easy. It required me to meet the parts of myself I had abandoned - the inner child who longed for safety, the woman who had spent years proving her worth, the soul that craved rest.

Through inner child healing, breathwork, nervous system regulation, and self-inquiry, I learned to break free from old patterns.

I stopped seeking approval and started listening to my own needs.

I stopped pushing through and started softening.

I stopped striving and started being.

This journey changed everything - not just for me, but for my relationships, my work, and the way I move through life. And now, I’m here to help you do the same.

My Approach: Bridging Science & Soul

With a unique background in neuroscience, trauma-informed coaching, and holistic healing, I bridge the gap between traditional healthcare and deep, embodied transformation. I combine:

✨ Compassionate Inquiry – Unraveling the subconscious patterns keeping you stuck.
✨ Breathwork & Somatic Healing – Releasing trauma stored in the body.
✨ Self-Mastery & Integration – Shifting from survival to thriving.

This is not about fixing you - because you are not broken.

This is about guiding you back to yourself so you can live, love, and lead from a place of wholeness.
