I never planned on becoming a nervous system coach. In fact, for most of my life, I didn’t even know what my nervous system was—I just knew that I was tired.

The kind of tired where your morning coffee is more of a lifeline than a beverage. The kind where you snap at your kids and then feel awful about it five minutes later. The kind where self-care sounds nice in theory, but in reality, you’re running on fumes and just trying to make it through the day.

As an occupational therapist, I spent years helping children regulate their sensory systems. I knew all about how movement, touch, and sound could shift a dysregulated nervous system. But somehow, I never stopped to apply those same tools to myself—until life forced me to.

After having kids of my own, I hit a wall. I felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and like I was failing at everything. I was pouring from an empty cup, constantly overdrawn in my "nervous system bank account." And I started to wonder: what if all the tools I used to help my young clients could help me, too?

So, I started experimenting. I swapped stress-scrolling for rocking in a chair. I traded the guilt spiral after snapping at my kids for a few deep-pressure exercises to reset my system. I learned how to budget my energy—adding nervous system deposits to offset the inevitable withdrawals of daily life. And slowly, things began to shift. I wasn’t perfect (I’m still not), but I wasn’t running on fumes anymore. I was showing up as the mom, wife, and human I actually wanted to be.

Now, I get to help others do the same. Whether you’re navigating burnout, parenting stress, or just feeling stuck in cycles that leave you depleted, I want you to know: you’re not broken. You’re just dysregulated. And regulation is something you can build.

Through my workshops, coaching, and resources, I teach practical, science-backed ways to reset your nervous system so you can move through life with more ease, energy, and joy. I believe in shame-free, doable nervous system care—the kind that fits into your real life (not just an idealized, spa-day version of it).

If you’re tired of running on empty, I’d love to support you in finding a new way. Because you deserve to feel good in your body. And your body already holds the wisdom to get you there.
