    • A Whole-Body Approach to Healing Stress

      Stress is physical, emotional, and mental. Yet we treat it mostly with mental 'talk' therapy. We try to control stress through thinking, and forget to include our body in the conversation. A whole-body approach that connects the mental and the physical, is the only way to manage chronic stress effectively. What would it feel like, to be less controlled by, and 'in' your head, and more curious about what your body has to say?

    • Stress is like a spectrum

      On one end are the balanced, peaceful people (no one really 😉). On the other, those who are completely stuck—either in a wirlwind of anxiety and tension, or completely numb, unable to think, feel, or act (roughly 7% of people). Most of us live somewhere in between. And some of us are losing balance (around 28%). The question is: where are you on that spectrum?

    • Feeling 'Off', but You Can't Name It?

      You don't need to break down to feel better

      Maybe lately, you've noticed it's harder to switch off. You feel on edge, tired, or you have a vague sense that something isn’t quite right. Something feels off.

      When stress becomes chronic, there’s a real risk of burning out. Globally, around 38% of workers report experiencing the early symptoms of burnout. If you're starting to feel stressed on the regular—in the form of pain, sleep loss, frequent colds, lack of focus, energy, or motivation—it’s smart to listen to your body.

      Your body often sends you signals that things aren’t going well. But we’re trained to override those signals in order to “do what needs to be done.” We use our heads to push our bodies toward the next goal. In the short term, that can be a useful strategy. But long term, ignoring your body leads to breakdown.

      Have you noticed your body saying, “I’ve had enough”? Do you feel—deep down—that this isn’t how you want to keep going? You can reclaim balance. There’s a way forward: by learning to listen to your body again. Take the Whole Body Stress Test below, and find out what you can do to reclaim balance, or check out what my clients have to say about working with me.

    • Feeling Stuck in Overdrive or Shutdown?

      You are not alone, and you can get better

      Becoming so stressed that your body shuts down can happen in two ways: through one major traumatic event—or through the slow, ongoing build-up of micro-stressors. That second path is burnout.

      EU data suggests that, depending on the country, between 3% and 13% of the workforce meets the criteria for clinical burnout. If you feel like your are completely stuck in overdrive or like your body has pulled the plug, you're not alone. Millions of people are feeling exactly like you.

      If you're wondering what burnout really is, how to know if you're burned out, or what the first steps to recovery look like—start here.
