Helping to Prevent You From Burning Out.

For Ambitious Women in High-Responsibility Roles

You don’t need to be less ambitious.

You need your ambition to be sustainable.

I support women in leadership and senior professional roles who are operating under sustained pressure — and want to maintain success without running close to depletion.

Through structured nervous system work, movement and recovery practices, I help you protect your energy, improve sleep and build long-term capacity.

Why Burnout Prevention Matters

Burnout rarely arrives suddenly. It builds quietly.

Long hours. Emotional labour. Constant decision-making.

The inability to fully switch off.

Over time, this can lead to:

  • Light or disrupted sleep

  • Persistent mental load

  • Irritability or reactivity

  • Reduced clarity

  • Energy that never quite restores

You may not describe yourself as burnt out.

But you know you are not operating at your best.

Preventing burnout is significantly easier than recovering from it.

Feeling overwhelmed is not a personal failing — it’s a systemic issue. That’s why restoring balance to the nervous system and cultivating mindful self-care is essential for sustainable success.

My Story: From Overwhelm to Sustainable Energy

In my previous corporate career, life often looked successful from the outside. I was managing complex projects, travelling, and juggling responsibilities — yet inside, I felt constantly depleted, running on empty, and disconnected from my own wellbeing. I had fallen into the habit of never slowing down, believing that pushing through was the mark of strength.

Eventually, my body and mind gave me a wake-up call.

That’s when I began exploring practices that truly replenished me — yoga, qigong (a gentle, flowing energy practice), breathwork, meditation, and Deep Rest (Yoga Nidra). Over time, I learned how to pause, reset, and maintain energy without adding pressure.

Now, I guide professionals and busy people to prevent burnout before it takes hold. My approach blends mindful movement, somatic awareness, and restorative practices in ways that are accessible for all levels, helping people build sustainable energy, clarity, and resilience — so they can thrive, not just cope.

“63% of UK employees now show signs of burnout, such as exhaustion and disengagement — up from 51% two years ago.”

How I Work on Burnout Prevention

My approach combines:

  • Accessible yoga (beginner-friendly, no performance focus)

  • Qigong — a gentle “meditation in motion” energy practice

  • Breathwork

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Deep Rest (Yoga Nidra)

  • Practical conversations about pressure and recovery

This is not about adding more to your schedule.

It is about learning how to recover properly so you can continue to lead well.

Rest Without Guilt – 12-Week Programme

My signature programme is designed for ambitious women who want sustainable performance without burnout.

Rest Without Guilt is a structured 12-week experience including:

  • Weekly live online sessions (30–60 minutes)

  • Session recordings for flexibility

  • Optional short practices between sessions

  • A private WhatsApp community

  • Direct access to me for support

  • Optional 1:1 upgrade for personalised guidance

The 12-week format is intentional.

It allows time to shift patterns — not just understand them intellectually. Many women find that three months creates sustainable habits that continue long after the programme ends.

This is about building steady energy, clearer thinking and the ability to rest without guilt.

Join the Waiting List

You do not need to overhaul your life.

You need structured recovery and intelligent tools.

If you are ready to build capacity rather than constantly deplete it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nervous System Support for Professionals

  • I primarily work with women in leadership and high-pressure professional roles, though men

    who resonate with this approach are welcome too. Most of my clients manage teams, carry significant responsibility, and operate in environments shaped by targets, deadlines, and high expectations.

  • High-performing professionals often feel mentally switched on long after the workday ends.

    Difficulty unwinding, restless sleep, persistent tension, and fluctuating energy are common experiences.

    Many already exercise regularly or maintain high standards of productivity yet still notice signs of strain or depletion beneath the surface. What’s often missing is genuine nervous system restoration — not more performance.

  • Clients commonly notice:

    •  Better quality sleep and easier wind-down in the evenings

    •  The ability to switch off more fully after work

    •  More stable, sustainable energy

    •  A greater sense of internal calm, even during demanding periods

    The first shift is often subtle but powerful: space. Space between work and home. Space between stress and reaction. Space to rest without guilt.

  • Yes. Many of my clients are already active. This work complements high-intensity training or demanding careers by addressing something different: nervous system regulation and true restoration.

    It’s about recovery, not exertion.

  • My work is designed specifically for high-responsibility professionals.

    Rather than focusing on fitness or performance, I combine gentle yoga, Qigong (an energy

    practice often described as meditation in motion), breathwork, Yin, and deep rest practices

    within structured programmes designed to regulate the nervous system and build

    sustainable energy.

    Having previously worked in high-pressure corporate environments, I understand the pace,

    language, and expectations my clients operate within. The practices are intelligent,

    accessible, and designed to integrate into demanding schedules.

  • I offer structured online courses, 1:1 sessions, workshops, and small-group retreats.

    Online Courses

    My courses are designed specifically for professionals experiencing sustained stress or

    depletion. Many clients find that a structured 3-month course works particularly well to build

    sustainable practices, allowing time to reset patterns, integrate techniques, and experience

    meaningful change without adding pressure.

    These programmes combine guided practices, education around stress and recovery, and

    practical tools that fit around work and family life. They are designed not just to restore

    energy, but to help prevent burnout before it takes hold.

    1:1 Support

    Personalised guidance tailored to your specific schedule, stress patterns, and goals.

    Workshops & Retreats

    Immersive, small-group experiences in calm, carefully held environments, ideal for deeper restoration.

  • No. Everything I teach is beginner-friendly and designed for people who may never have

    considered themselves “yoga people.” The focus is on accessibility, safety, and practical

    benefit — not performance or flexibility.

  • The best starting point is an initial conversation to explore what would support you most — whether that’s joining a course, working 1:1, or attending a retreat.

    Each pathway is designed to be manageable, structured, and respectful of your time.

The classes are really good for me, i especially enjoy the nidra as I have never slept very well but after her class I notice that I sleep better.
