Supporting heart-led
women to heal burnout, and burn brighter instead.

Are you the one everyone goes to for support?
But my question is: who supports you?

Are you a therapist, coach, healer, mother, purpose-driven entrepreneur or a changemaker who give and give and leave themselves last?

Having lived through burnout myself, twice, I know firsthand that burnout doesn't stop until you stop, and that the sensitive,
heart-led givers are often the ones most at risk, because they care deeply and hold a lot for everyone else.

Through 1:1 and group coaching, speaking, and collective community, I support women like you to turn what burns you out into what lights you up.

It’s time to put you first and reclaim your joy and inner peace.

I have done it. You can do it, too.
But you don’t need to do it alone.

I can support you with:

  • Burnout prevention and recovery

  • Befriending your stress and ending its grip over you.

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Sustainable performance without self-sacrifice

  • Boundary setting and authentic communication

  • Time-management and routine setting to support you first

  • Moving from survival mode to presence and inner peace

  • Reclaiming sensitivity as strength, not a flaw

  • Reconnecting with your purpose, inner power, and joy

  • Trading "shoulds" for what you truly desire

Is this you?

Are you:

  • A woman who gives and gives — and leaves yourself last?

  • The one everyone relies on?

  • Deeply committed to your work — but exhausted?

  • Sensitive, thoughtful, and high-achieving, yet constantly overstimulated?

  • You feel stressed and burn out but can't stop, because stopping feels like the hardest thing to do.

  • You’re always on, struggling to switch off and be present.

  • You feel you’re always busy and life is a never-ending to do list.

  • You yearn for a slower pace to be able to enjoy life, too.

  • You struggle with setting boundaries.

  • You've been told you're 'too much' or you feel 'you’re not enough' — no matter how much you accomplish.

You wonder if there's a way to be ambitious, giving, and heart-led — without burning out.

If you answered yes, you've come to the right place.

Intimate, transformative coaching for those ready to stop running and start leading from wholeness. Reclaim your energy, your sensitivity, and your sense of self.

Join in my free monthly online
Intentional Rest Session

Rest should not cost you anything.
Rest should be normalised again.
Once a month, we gather on Zoom for an hour to intentionally rest and restore our inner capacity.

No pressure, no performance. Just a space to pause, breathe, and be, exactly as you are.
During this hour, expect doing less and being more. Simply receiving.

Even rest is easier when we do it alongside each other. 🌙

What My 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.

“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.”

“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!”

Hi, I’m 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.

I do this by 1:1 coaching and holding community events and retreats within my Connected You Community.

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.
