“The real work begins when you step off your mat and into the world.”

This is how my yoga teacher ended class every week. It always stood out to me, but never clicked until I was about to finish my master's program. In a way, graduating felt like I was stepping off my mat, and it was daunting to think I had all the tools to make the impact I was seeking.

However, graduating didn’t exactly lead to the new beginning I had envisioned. I held my same job, developed the Sunday Scaries over the stress of working with a new manager, and slowly worked myself into burnout by aimlessly trying harder at everything. Fun fact: During this time, a friend suggested that I find a creative outlet, and I took my first jewelry-making workshop!

Eventually, I achieved my goal of becoming a consultant, only to discover an overwhelming pattern. Employees across industries and organizations alike were caught in endless cycles of stress, burnout, and chronic fatigue. It felt all too familiar, and it was a wake-up call to begin making some changes and managing my own stress.

Burnout is a serious and growing challenge. It has taken me years to understand and counter its effects. My mission is to help people prevent burnout by bringing mindfulness into our daily lives, especially in work environments- the place where we implement it the least.

My yoga teacher was right all along- the real work begins when we step off the mat, and for me, that organically evolved into creating spaces for you to slow down, pause, disconnect, and recharge.

Bring me to your organization for a mindful pause, virtually or in-person!

Or, if you are in the area, pop into an upcoming workshop or class!
