Why is it the answer to ALL your problems?

Burnout Coaching is a psychology-based, systematic approach to changing your

relationship to work and stress so you can have energy in your life for the things

that matter most.

Weekly or Biweekly, you will complete transformational exercises that reduce your workload, fortify your boundaries, heal your hurt, and help you build systems that will skyrocket your success without wearing you out.

These exercises are founded in neuroscience and pulled from the fields of psychology, executive coaching, and organizational strategy. With a background in psychology and psychotherapy, Natalia is an expert in the art and science of behavior change, personality shifting, and system-based approaches to creating the life of your dreams.

Sessions are one hour long, weekly or biweekly, and may be completed 1:1 or as a group. Between sessions, there will be exercises to implement strategies and customize tools to your unique needs.

Professional: Are you working at a breakneck pace and you know it’s unsustainable? Have you started to lose motivation and interest for your job? Perhaps work performance is starting to slip?

Health: Is the doctor worried about your blood pressure? Can you not remember the last time you were getting to the gym consistently or getting a full 8 hours of sleep? Do you still have that headcold that you just can’t seem to shake?

Family: Do you have no time for date nights and your partner is tired of hearing you complain about work? Maybe you’re starting to worry that your marriage is on the rocks. Are you missing out on your kid’s soccer games and filled with guilt at missing out on their childhood?

Friends: Do you “feel like a bad friend” because you are too busy to be around for your peope the way you wish you could be?

Mood: Does anxiety follow you around like your shadow? Do you dread Monday mornings? Are you a walking zombie by the end of your day?

You need a burnout coach because your job has too many perks to walk away, but you also aren’t sure how much longer you can live this way. SO STOP LIVING THIS WAY. Get your work and your stress under control and take your life back.
