High-performing.
Deeply sensitive.
Finally understood.
What if I told you you can be both a sensitive human and high-performer
without burning out?
Sensitivity isn't a weakness to manage. It's an intelligence to unlock. I help driven leaders , entrepreneurs, and professionals reconnect with the part of themselves they've been outrunning — so they can lead, create, and live with more peace, clarity, and ease.
Whether speaking, consulting or coaching, I create spaces where you can exhale, recalibrate, and step into sustainable performance.
If you’re ready to drop the mask, reclaim your energy,
and perform from a place of alignment — not adrenaline.
Let’s connect to see how we could work together.
Freeing high-performers
who are more sensitive than they realise from the workaholic culture to return to their inner peace and living a heartful life.
My Mission
Is this you?
Are you:
The one everyone relies on?
Deeply committed to your work — but exhausted?
Sensitive, thoughtful, and high-achieving, yet constantly overstimulated?
You're exhausted but can't stop — because stopping feels like failing.
You absorb everyone's energy and think it’s normal
You've been told you're 'too much' or 'too intense' — so you learned to shrink.
Success looks perfect on the outside, but inside, something feels hollow.
You wonder if there's a way to be ambitious without burning out.
If you answered yes, you’ve come the right place.
You’re not broken. You’re sensitive. And that changes everything.
Three ways to work together
Speaking
KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS
Thought-provoking talks that challenge how organisations think about performance, sensitivity, and sustainable leadership. Perfect for conferences, leadership retreats, and corporate events
Wellness Sessions

Coaching
1:1 SESSIONS
Intimate, transformative coaching for high-performers ready to stop running and start leading from wholeness. Reclaim your energy, your sensitivity, and your sense of self.

No pressure. No Pitch. Just a real conversation.
What Clients Have Said
“I was introduced to Essi through work, with the view to help me flourish in my role. However, what ended up happening was a complete journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Essi has the instinctively organic ability to completely empathise with whatever you’re going through, connect the dots and ask the right questions at the right time. She allows the space to just be present and reflect. The activities she gave me, or did with me in our sessions, were uncomfortable but completely perfect for how I was feeling that week. As a result, I am so much more aware of myself and I feel at peace.
— Eleanor Russell, Recruitment Consultant, Australia
“I sought a heart-centered coach who would resonate with my spiritual perspective; someone who could listen intuitively and help me cut through the mental noise to truly connect with my essence, meaning, purpose, and authenticity. I am so thankful
I found Essi. Our coaching sessions are a vibrant blend of energy, vision, clarity, laughter and deep conversations and challenges. I leave each session brimming with ideas and profound insights. I genuinely cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking to reach new depths of understanding and connect with your true heart-centred self, don't hesitate to book a session with Essi.”
— Carol Barton,
Retreat Centre Developer, Spain
“Essi was my Life Coach and helped me through a very tough transition time in my life. I had just returned to NYC after a Sabbatical and reached out to her to set up coaching sessions. She was so responsive and caring during the entire process and helped me to understand key issues in my heart and life that we worked on together as I navigated a really tough season! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a Life Coach for anyone going through a tough time and who wants some fresh guidance from her ‘Heartful’ model of teaching!”
— Glen Collins,
Executive Vice President,

Meet Essi
I burned out.
Twice.
You can be capable, committed, and successful, and still burn out. I know, because I did. First in a career that looked good on paper. Then again running my own business. That's when I realised: burnout doesn't stop until you stop.
Sensitive, purpose-driven people are often the most at risk. We care deeply, give generously, and hold a lot. In a world of screens, urgency, and constant input, we slowly override ourselves.
But when we truly see and hear ourselves — something shifts. Often, we don't need to do more. We need to remove stimuli, reconnect, and slow down enough to hear what's already there.
Today, I create spaces for individuals toward sustainable success — success that doesn't cost their health or relationships. And I work with organisations to prevent what happened to me from happening to their people.
Clarity doesn't come from more noise.
It comes from space.
Let’s create some space, together.
