MY BURNOUT STORY
WHAT SUCCESS USED TO LOOK LIKE
For many years, working as a nurse and nutritional therapist, my vision of success was helping as many patients as possible. However, I soon suffered burnout as I continued to put other people's health before my own. I was giving everything to my career and my patients, and that meant I neglected my own health and happiness.
I was exhausted. I'd regularly wake up in a 3 am panic. My focus was on what my job required rather than listening to what my body needed. I wasn't alone and soon realised how many women are at risk of burnout as they juggle their careers and personal lives.
My clients are fuelled by sugar and caffeine by day; by night, they wind down with wine. Running so close to burnout is risking the health and wellbeing of so many women.
It impacts their mental and physical health, fertility and menstrual cycle, productivity and brain health, as well as their overall joy and happiness.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE NOW
My burnout was the wake-up call I needed to start living with purpose: to support women with their health and happiness. Now, I draw on my years of training in psychology, nutrition, and nursing, as well as my passion for cyclical living and self-care to help women make the right choices for their life.
Balance doesn't have to feel out of reach. Your career doesn't have to involve sacrificing your health and wellness.
You can achieve success, whatever that looks like for you, without burning out.
As well as my years of experience in supporting women on their health and wellbeing journey, I am also currently training as an ICF accredited professional coach. This means I can offer a bespoke and holistic coaching service that helps to alleviate the pressure, address the imposter syndrome, rebuilds confidence and creates lasting healthy habits for ongoing wellbeing.
By training as a coach, I am fuelling my love of learning which is vital for my own self-care and aligned to my core values. I'm also excited to be delving deeper into neuroscience and positive psychology to further enhance what I offer in my 1:1 program.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
I offer a tailored approach depending on what each client needs. However, my focus centres around the four steps on the path from burnout to balance: Explore, Nourish, Balance, Restore.
