Lead with Clarity, Calm, and Purpose-Driven Innovation
I help Health Tech and FemTech leaders reduce burnout, strengthen decision-making, and build resilient teams.
The pressure inside high-growth health companies is real. Founders are navigating regulatory scrutiny, funding friction, and the emotional weight of building technology that directly touches people’s health and lives. I help organizations create a healthier way to lead through neuroscience-informed leadership strategy, workplace wellness consulting, executive coaching, and keynote speaking.
54% of founders experienced burnout in the past 12 months, and only 6% reported no mental health issues at all.

65% of startup failures trace back to internal conflict or founder burnout — not market conditions, not funding.

73% of IT professionals report work-related stress or burnout, with heavy workloads as the leading cause.

Why it matters? The numbers are hard to ignore:
In Health Tech and FemTech, burnout is not just a personal issue. It is a structural problem that affects leadership, communication, retention, and execution. When executive teams are overloaded, and product teams are under pressure, the business feels it in slower decisions, more friction, and less sustainable performance.
Most organizations respond with perks. A meditation app. A mental health stipend. A company-wide email about self-care.
Those are not strategies. They are signals that no one has built one yet.
Burnout deserves a real solution.

Who I Work With
I partner with founders, CEOs, CHROs, Chief People Officers, and leadership teams at Health Tech, FemTech, and mission-driven organizations that want to build cultures where people and performance thrive together.
What Changes When We Work Together
When leaders are supported well, the business changes too.
You can expect:
clearer decision-making,
stronger communication,
reduced burnout-driven turnover,
better manager effectiveness,
more resilient teams,
and a leadership culture that can sustain growth.
This work is not separate from performance. It is part of how sustainable performance happens.
What Makes My Approach Different
My work blends lived experience, science, and strategy.
After navigating my own healing from chronic illness and burnout, I spent more than 15 years studying what sustainable performance actually requires and building a practice around helping organizations create it at scale.
I bring more than 20 certifications in neuroscience-informed leadership, emotional intelligence, mind-body wellbeing, intuition, mindfulness, and coaching. I also bring deep speaking experience and credibility across colleges, hospitals, tech, healthcare, occupational health and safety, and government organizations.
This is wellness strategy for leaders who need practical, credible support that fits the realities of high-growth organizations.
