ABOUT ME & my work

A standing woman is smiling. With one arm over her head, she glancing to the floor.

I’m London born and educated, Colorado is home and I’ve lived and traveled all over the world. I’d been a coach for ten years and for fifteen had taught energy healing, mindfulness meditation and yoga, when I had one of the biggest wake-up calls of my life. Overnight without warning my home and much of my city disappeared in a wildfire. I had a tough time getting out and some of my neighbors didn’t make it. It wasn’t just my town that was in ashes. I’d been pushing myself before the fire and afterwards - I had total burnout.

In my quest to recover, I devoured every book and article I could find on the subject. But most of what I read either focused on burnout as a global phenomenon, which it is though that doesn’t address how to recover, or the publications that did lacked the depth I needed to break through. Then one day I realized I had the answer within me. It came from a deep dive into why I’d been so driven as well as through applying a holistic approach that utilized neuroplasticity protocols and incorporated mind, body and spirit practices to address key areas including sleep hygiene, digestion, and adrenal recovery.

I pulled myself out and I can show you or your staff how to do it too. Self-care practices will have limited impact until someone uncovers and shifts the core beliefs that drive them to keep going when the body says ‘stop’. It’s possible to create sustainable success from a place that won’t create depletion but more energy to enjoy life and work.

I’ve distilled the most important, core techniques and principles and combined them into my signature program to facilitate other professionals to recover from exhaustion, just like I did. Much as it’s our culture’s norm to think burnout is the price we pay for success - it isn’t. And when burnout is prevalent in a company’s culture, performance and morale suffer. What kind of life or work culture do you want to create?

Just remember: Nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth. (A Course in Miracles)

“Millie coached me throughout 2021 and 2022 while I was at my prior role and at a career crossroads. With her guidance, I was able to navigate my frustrations and scrutinize the vastly different paths that unfolded before me. My gut feeling and aspirations were listened to and celebrated in the process. She is a wonderful coach and facilitator, and some words I use to describe her are calming, astute, welcoming, fervent, resilient, and genuine. I equate Millie to the calm eye of a storm. She deploys techniques that push aside the noise and get to the heart of whatever issue you’re tackling. Her coaching techniques require honesty and grace while rediscovering your true self. I highly recommend working with her.”
