After 10 years as a successful clinician, hitting burnout multiple times, and watching her dad die with regrets of living his life for everyone else, she realized the answer to that question gnawing at her gut saying “I checked the boxes, why do I feel like I’m missing something?” didn’t lie in any course or certification or “just take a vacation,” but rather in learning how to regulate her nervous system, hold boundaries, let go of her conditioning & what others think in order to find her authentic self & path.

She now helps countless others quickly move from burnout to badass with clarity & confidence through her signature launchpad sessions, group containers, self-discovery journal, and her podcast, Human On the Daley.
