Your people are your most critical infrastructure.
Is your culture built to protect them?
I'm Amy McCae, a fractional wellness strategist and conscious leadership consultant helping Health Tech and FemTech leaders reduce burnout, strengthen decision-making, and build resilient teams
The pressure inside high-growth Health Tech 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 rooted in both the science of performance and a deep belief that when people are genuinely well, everything works better.
The pressure is real
54% of surveyed startup founders reported experiencing burnout in the previous 12 months.

73% of European IT professionals report experiencing work-related stress or burnout; 61% cite heavy workload as a contributor.

These findings reflect broader pressures that many startup and technology leaders are navigating. They are not specific measurements of Health Tech or FemTech companies.
For many Health Tech and FemTech leaders, burnout is not only a personal concern. It can become an organizational challenge that affects leadership, communication, retention, and execution. When executive teams are overloaded and product teams are under sustained pressure, decision-making can slow, friction can increase, and performance can become harder to sustain.
Most organizations respond with perks: a meditation app, a mental-health stipend, or a company-wide email about self-care.
Those supports can be helpful. But on their own, they are not a strategy for addressing the workplace conditions that contribute to overload.
That is where I come in.
Trusted by and featured alongside leaders in colleges, hospitals, tech, healthcare, occupational health and safety, and government organizations.
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 genuinely supported, the business changes, too. You start to see clearer decisions, stronger communication, and teams that can better sustain the pace they are working at. Leaders gain clearer ways to identify and address the conditions that can contribute to burnout-related turnover. Managers lead with more confidence, and the culture begins to reflect the mission you set out to build
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, conscious leadership, 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 a wellness strategy that meets leaders where they are — practically, strategically, and at a human level.
