How We Can Work Together
Whether you’re working in the heart of a crisis zone, leading grassroots action, or volunteering across cultures—your mission matters. But it shouldn’t cost you your well-being.
The unique demands of humanitarian work and activism can take a heavy toll, leading to burnout, anxiety, and a feeling of being overwhelmed. My coaching is designed to equip you with the resilience, mental fortitude, and sustainable strategies you need to continue your vital work powerfully, effectively, and with lasting well-being.
Drawing on my Master’s in Psychology and over two decades of firsthand experience in global conflict zones, refugee camps, and frontline activism, I understand your world. I provide the expert guidance and empathetic support to help you prevent burnout, sustain your mission, and lead with strength.
All coaching is conducted virtually, offering you flexibility and accessibility, no matter where your impactful work takes you.
