If you're a vegan, animal rescuer/caregiver, or activist feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or struggling with grief, I'd love to support you. As someone who also works in animal rescue, I understand the grief and pain that come with this incredibly beautiful, life-saving work. I’m passionate about supporting others in this field because I believe in the power of working collectively. My goal is to help you create a path forward that stays grounded in the work you’re doing, while making sure your well-being is prioritized along the way.

What coaching can help with:

• Understanding the nervous system: Learning how to regulate your nervous system to minimize burnout and improve emotional regulation while engaging in activism or rescue work.

• Grief processing and compassion: Developing effective ways to process grief related to animal loss, the emotional toll of activism, or systemic injustice, while fostering compassion for oneself.

• Healing with IFS (Internal Family Systems): Using IFS techniques to identify and work through internal conflicts, which can often be triggered by grief, feeling of helplessness, powerlessness or activism-related stress.

• Using Brainspotting for emotional healing: Exploring Brainspotting as a tool for deep emotional processing, especially related to animal suffering and grief tied to animal rescue, animal caregiving, activism or advocacy.

• Burnout prevention: Developing strategies to better manage emotional and physical exhaustion from consistent activism or animal rescue work.

• Setting boundaries: Learning how to set healthy boundaries with self, friends, family members, volunteers, and the public to maintain personal well-being.

• Sustaining motivation: Finding ways to stay inspired and energized, even during difficult times.

• Balancing compassion and self-care: Creating a self-care routine that nurtures emotional health while staying committed to your cause.

• Navigating difficult conversations: Developing communication skills for addressing sensitive topics with non-vegans, donors, or skeptical individuals.

• Dealing with emotional overload: Finding tools to process the intense emotions that come from witnessing animal suffering and participating in rescue work.

• Managing stress and anxiety: Creating practical coping mechanisms for high-stress situations that are common in activism, rescue and animal caregiving.

• Building resilient leadership: Strengthening leadership skills to effectively lead teams of volunteers or colleagues in challenging environments.

• Creating balance: Finding harmony between personal life, activism, and animal rescue work to avoid feeling overwhelmed or disconnected from joy.
