Burnout to Rebirth
A Program For Women Professionals, Entrepreneurs and High-Achievers
Leave Burnout and Stress in the Ashes While You Achieve Balance, Clarity, and Creativity in Your Work and Daily Life
Who Am I?
For a long time, I knew I was in a job I didn’t particularly like. I found it stressful, with hours all over the place, very little support, and little to no appreciation for the time and work I put in. But, it paid the bills and I liked my colleagues, so I thought, ‘It could be worse; just deal with it, Tess.’ And I did… for 7 years.
Since I was a kid, I’ve struggled with anxiety, an invisible negative force that never goes away, just managed better or worse depending on life’s circumstances. But when the pandemic hit, it all came crashing down on me and I fell to pieces. I was constantly snappy and moody with my husband, friends, colleagues… even my clients. I would fall into random—sobbing in hindsight perhaps not all that random—sobbing messes curled up on the kitchen floor, choking for breath, mind-wheeling. My relationship with my husband was fraying.
When I reached the lowest point of my burnout, after talking it through with my husband, we decided it was best for me to quit my job and try to make my way as a yoga teacher.
When I started out on my own, I dove into ways to get myself back on track: healthy and happy. I studied yoga for pelvic health, working to get my body back. I studied yoga for mental health, learning how to stop myself from reaching the same spiraling black depths. I became certified in mindfulness coaching, learning how to best catch my limiting beliefs and reframe them. I trained in Yoga Nidra and meditation, learning how to rest and heal the body from the inside out. And I started training to become a certified yoga therapist so I can better holistically support myself and my clients.
Through my own experiences with anxiety and burnout, and my years of study, along with working with others who are also struggling with similar issues, I have developed a vast toolkit of tried, tested and science-backed techniques that I know will also help you step out of your own negative cycles of stress, anxiety, and burnout.
If you’re ready to make the changes and do the work to rise above the ashes of your burnout into a life of balance, joy, creativity, and, ultimately, success, I’m here to help you thrive.
