Hi there!
I’m Kaylyn, and my purpose as a mindful Wellness Coach is to help you with:
stress and anxiety reduction
burnout recovery and prevention
diet and lifestyle changes
I provide a safe space to explore the changes you want to make in life, empathy for your situation, and gentle accountability to empower you to work towards meaningful goals.
If you feel burned out, stressed, or anxious, you’re not alone.
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported that 44% of employees feel burned out, 30% often feel stressed, and 22% often feel anxious (2024). What’s more, neurodivergent people may be particularly susceptible to professional burnout due to the additional factors of masking and adapting to neurotypical expectations. Gender, age, occupation, identity, and other factors can increase the risk of burnout due to additional stressors.
Does this sound like you?
I can support your goals in…
Managing Stress
The pressure and overwhelm from the stress of life impacts people differently, and it can be heightened for highly sensitive people and those with demanding jobs and personal responsibilities. When stress is chronic (over a long period of time) it damages our body and mind, leaving behind cognitive, physical, emotional, and behavioral signs.
Chronic stress is linked to…
chronic illness (i.e. hypertension, heart disease)
substance abuse and behavioral addiction
depression and anxiety
Stress management includes…
diet and lifestyle changes
building stress reduction skills
time management and goal setting
Recovering from Burnout
When facing prolonged stress from a particular area of life, the result can be burnout which can leave you feeling exhausted, unable to cope, and depleted. Burnout, unlike depression, tends to occur in direct relation to the stress of caregiving, school, work, relationships, or financial challenges and when engaging with these activities.
Burnout signs and symptoms…
headaches, poor digestion, and sleep issues
difficulty concentrating and loss of interest
emotional exhaustion and inability to cope
Burnout recovery includes…
diet and lifestyle changes
relaxation techniques (i.e. yoga, meditation)
boundary setting and resourcing
Preventing Chronic Illness
Any healing crisis will direct attention to the way we do or do not nourish our body, mind, and spirit. The food we eat becomes who we are, and this can be said of any other mediums that we consume, be it harmful content or toxic relationships. I bet you probably know what is healthy for you, and together we will support you in consistently and consciously choosing health.
Diet and lifestyle influences…
development of chronic illness
overall health and treatment outcomes
psychological well-being
Chronic illness prevention includes…
eating a balanced diet
regular physical activity
mindfulness practices
I combine empathy with expertise that you can trust.
After years of getting feedback from friends and colleagues that I am a skilled listener who brings kindness to every situation, I’ve come to understand that empathy is my superpower. In addition to expertise in health and wellness coaching, I offer my own experience managing stress and anxiety as a highly sensitive person. I am knowledgeable in a variety of holistic wellness modalities including mindfulness, yoga, intuitive eating, and herbal supplementation and may draw upon these and other resources to support your unique health goals.
