Eventually I collapsed - I'd burned out so badly I couldn't get out of bed for three months. I spent the next few months looking for tools and resources to feel better and found - nothing! The only things on offer were therapy, medication, rest and mindset coaching. So as any good scientist would I started researching. After a year of experimentation I finally found a strategy that worked and I was able to make a full recovery. And now I teach my clients to do the same!
i was living in a permanent state of stress and constantly on the edge of burnout
Not that long ago, I was a c-suite executive at a global investment bank. I had the corner office on the trading floor, working hand in glove with the best CEOs, travelling the world and living a lifestyle beyond my wildest dreams. My life looked perfect on the outside, but I felt completely broken on the inside. I was focused on chasing success and so for 15+ years my "normal" was working 16+ hr days, seven days a week, and always being on call.
I used to think I was bulletproof and resilient to stress until I collapsed from burnout...
2023 & beyond
Decided to I leave my corporate career. I took a sabbatical, travelled the world and continued my studies in neuroscience and nervous system regulation. I mapped out my dream life and decided that it was time to stop dreaming and to take action.
2022
Between my corporate career, graduate school and the pandemic I ended up burning out so severely I couldn't get out of bed for three months and ended up spending a year on medical leave. This was the wake up call I needed to realise something had to change.
2021
I relocated to Ireland with my bank and decided to go to graduate school. Whilst working full-time in my corporate career , I studied neuroscience & psychology at Columbia University, focusing on the mind-body connection and "commuting" from Dublin to New York.
2019
I was living in Asia, working long hours and travelling 7 days a week. I started looking for solutions in the alternative medicine world to improve my energy. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and became a Certified Health Coach and Yoga Teacher.
