Greetings!
I’m Angela, your CHRONIC STRESS COACH.
I help professional women be free of burnout + chronic stress, even with a demanding career.
I do this work because I stopped allowing work, pressure, and other people rule my life, and I can help you do the same.
I have always been an achiever and strived to do-do-do to perform well, keep everything in working order, and calm the anxiety that needed to please other people.
But over time, this took a toll.
After receiving 4 promotions in 5 years, chronic stress and anxiety drove me to exhaustion.
I experienced chest pain every day, insomnia, adrenal fatigue, and a host of other unexplainable symptoms.
I was always so busy working, I was not able to be present with my husband and neglected my one true love.
I was a mess, even though on the outside, everything looked absolutely fine.
I knew I needed to change.
I didn’t want to live an overextended and disconnected life.
I set out to free my heart, my mind, and my body from 3 decades of relentless self-pressure, over-doing, controlling, protecting, avoiding, and perfecting. I wanted to be FREE so bad!
But I didn’t leave my job or go to a tropical island. Instead, I healed myself while still working a corporate job.
Yep, it is possible to be an embodiment of peace and function in the world, even in the office.
When traditional medicine and talk therapy failed, I broke all the rules and leveraged my medical background and truth-seeking mind to heal myself. I took 100% responsibility.
I stopped looking outside and looked within.
I learned how to honor my needs and not contribute to the noise.
I no longer labor over what ‘I should’ be doing. I say no without feeling guilty or afraid something bad will happen.
I take care of myself. I don’t contribute to chaos. I don’t worry about what may happen in the future and how I’ll need to fix it.
I say what I need to say without apology; and I experience love + meaningful connection with nature, people, and animals.
And most importantly, I have a deep sense of ‘I’m OK’ no matter what happens.
Life will never be perfect, but there is a way to have a sustainable schedule and a whole-hearted life, even if you have a demanding career.
Professional Cred? I’ve got it.
I work with professional women whose intelligence is matched with a heart and mind that long to feel free and unburdened.
My approach is holistic, science-based, with a dash of humor and eastern philosophy.
I blend my life experience, coaching skills, and clinical expertise to deliver solutions for the root cause of your problems.
My strength is helping you identify the root cause of your discontent and teaching you how to be at peace with yourself, your work, and your relationships.
I’m a Chronic Stress Coach with 15+ years experience in healthcare and coaching.
I’m a:
- 10 year veteran of the biotech industry, where I developed and managed national health coaching programs for over 25,000 people
- Registered & Licensed Occupational Therapist with a BS from the Medical College of Georgia
- Certified Integrative Health Coach through Duke Integrative Medicine
- Registered Yoga Teacher through Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health
- Registered Craniosacral Therapist through Michael Shea, PhD
- and have Professional Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Training from the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness
Every degree and credential I’ve earned has led me to this point.
My clients experience results because the programs I offer work with your body’s physiology and need for safety, not against it.
I approach my life as something to live as opposed to a list of what I have to do or accomplish.
This transformation was not just a flash of insight but a complete change of heart.
To be fully alive with less stress in my body is a dream come true.
Instead of relying on the opinions of others to direct my decision making, I have learned to trust myself.
Having permission to take care of myself, and identifying the best way to do that, was eye-opening.
This practice ended the cycle of sacrificing my needs that had led to constant burnout.
I care about making the the planet a sustainable and compassionate place.
And I do that by helping you stop letting work, pressure, and other people rule your life so you can be available to who and what matters most to you.
Unburdened. Satisfied. At Peace.
