From Burning Out to Powerful, Grounded
Living Leadership
Working so hard to make a difference, but feeling stressed and overwhelmed?
Your path to relief, grounded leadership & impact starts here.
You work so hard to grow a better world… but it’s burning you out.
You chose your career because you wanted to dedicate your time and energy to making a positive difference.
You used to feel confident and effective, and certain that you were on the right path!
But now, you wake up and go to bed feeling increasingly overwhelmed, stressed out, and confused.
It feels like all you do is run from one fire to the next. Now matter how bravely you put your head down to just get through this busy stretch, the break you need never comes. It feels like running through quicksands. It’s exhausting, and you’re pretty sure you’re not doing as well as you need to be, as a leader and a professional.
It’s not just affecting your work, either. You’re increasingly short on energy and patience for your family. You feel guilty you’re not taking good enough care of them, or of yourself. But even simple rest feels out of reach, with everything you’ve got on your to-do list.
You lay in bed at night with worried thoughts spiralling through your mind. The news out there isn’t getting any better... And you still desperately want to do something to create a better future for your kids!
But you’re starting to worry you just don’t have what it takes.
How can you make a difference in the world, when you wake up feeling this stressed and overwhelmed every day?
The truth is that living and leading in a world in perpetual crisis takes deep grounding and resilience — and that’s not something you were trained for.
It’s something you learn with support. And support is what you need right now.
Imagine having someone in your corner to help you regain perspective, put out the fires in your life, and decide what’s yours to do, and what isn’t.
Someone who can help you teach your mind and body that it’s safe to say “no”, so you can stay focused on your real priorities — without feeling guilty.
Someone to teach you how to read and regulate your nervous system in real time, so you can stay calm and effective in the face of challenges.
Someone who knows how to help you feel your own worth and power once more, so you can finally rewire the insecurities that keep you small, stressed and scattered.
The burnout trap is real for mission-driven leaders and professionals — especially women.
But when you learn how to escape it for good, the rewards are immense:
The growth and relief you’ll experience, as you learn how to keep yourself safe AND step up as the kind of leader your people really need.
That deep satisfaction you'll feel, knowing you’re finally making the impact you want to make, in a way you can sustain.
Your own success and joy which will ripple outwards to your loved ones, helping you create a life that nourishes and uplifts you all — even in these difficult times.
Still worried you don’t have what it takes?
You do.
It’s just that you hadn’t found the right kind of support - until now.
Hi, I’m Elodie!
Not that long ago, I was a director of communications and fundraising for a Canadian nonprofit, building on a 17-year career in climate action, food justice and biodiversity conservation.
Then I hit burnout. Once. Then a second time. Then a third time - and that’s when I decided to take a deep dive and figure out what was really going on.
That’s when I learned something crucial. Rest alone doesn’t fix burnout. Boundaries can help, but they won’t fix it either, especially when the cause is systemic and demands always exceed resources.
What burnout was inviting me to do was to see the deep shifts I needed to make in my life — both internally and externally — so I could stop depleting myself and realign my life in a way that allowed me to thrive.
Up until then, I’d always been the kind of “star performer” who relied on willpower, systems, and “blood, sweat and tears” to deliver vast quantities of excellent work. I cared, and I gave it my all. But I didn’t know how to protect myself from the pitfalls that kept me locked into the burnout trap.
Once I learned how to reorient my relationship to work and my own self-worth, I no longer felt the constant need to overfunction. I learned how to listen to my body, nervous system and heart, and understand how to better care for them. I learned how to trust myself enough to pivot and grow, without depleting myself or sacrificing my wellbeing or my family’s wellbeing.
Now a certified coach in both Integrative Change Work and Wingwave EMDR Coaching, this is what I help leaders like you learn to do.
I help caring humans like you create a life of impact, joy and meaning, with courage and confidence - and without burning out.
My coaching blends practical anti-burnout support with powerful neuroscience-based coaching to create deep and lasting shifts.
In just 4 months together, you’ll learn how to cut down on stress, take much better care of yourself, and navigate your challenges with a new level of skill, wisdom and self-confidence.
Practical coaching + powerful inner work leads to far-reaching external shifts.
If you’re struggling with stress, overwhelm, and burnout, there’s never been a more critical time for you to get this support.
Let’s get you grounded, and thriving.
What if “burnout” is really an invitation?
When you’ve been stressed and overwhelmed for so long that you can’t see a way out — that’s burnout. The deep exhaustion. The signs of wear and tear on your mind and body. The growing cynicism and discouragement about the world, and your life.
It feels lonely, embarrassing and scary.
Worse, it hits you in your self-trust and self-confidence, causing you to fear that you’ll never be able to get back to a life that feels meaningful and successful.
That’s not a “you” problem. That’s just what burnout feels like.
I know because I’ve been there — and I’ve helped many clients through it.
So please take this to heart:
If you treat burnout as the wake-up call that it is, you can emerge from it feeling stronger, more deeply aligned, and more capable than ever.
Burnout isn’t fun, but there is powerful medecine within it — as long as you don’t try to struggle through it alone. For many powerful leaders and change-makers, it’s a rite of passage. A trial that teaches them how to stay safe, despite structures and systems that seek to deplete us.
Think of it as your body and mind trying to push you towards the next steps required for your growth, as a human and a leader.
Think of those amazing seeds that only germinate after a forest fire…
A more grounded, confident and powerful version of you is waiting on the other side of this.
It starts with giving yourself the quality support you need.
Powerful coaching that rewires your brain
+ new anti-burnout skills you’ll keep forever
What kind of coaching do I offer?
I’m certified in two rare and powerful forms of coaching that draws on neuroscience and deep brain repatterning practices, including as therapeutic memory reconsolidation, EMDR coaching, somatic internal family systems (IFS), and gentle forms of hypnosis.
That means that my coaching goes beyond traditional forms of executive coaching, where the focus tends to be on creating more awareness and clarity through thoughtful questions and intellectual analysis.
When you work with me, we go deeper.
When tackling your stressors and challenges, I’ll help you draw on all parts of you - your conscious mind, your imagination, your emotions, body and nervous system - to untangle the knots and return to a deep sense of alignment and self-confidence that will power every change you want to make.
I’ll also be teaching you new skills in self-leadership and new practices for rest, energy management and stress relief, leaving you with new tools to self-regulate and empower yourself for the rest of your life.
The result?
New clarity on your challenges and how to solve them.
New habits to keep yourself healthy, happy and engaged
New energy to create the shifts that support you best.
A powerful, neuroscience-fuelled jumpstart for leadership without burnout - in other words, for being the kind of leader (and human) you want to be.
With their in-depth format designed to soothe, regulate and empower you, each one of our sessions will lead to powerful immediate results.
Over the course of our 4 months together, these changes will become your new way of being, creating a lasting transformation.
When we’re done working together, you’ll have a way of relating to your work, to your value as a leader and professional, and to your body and its needs.
You’ll feel a deepened sense of trust and appreciation for what you bring at work and at home, and you’ll find it a lot easier to access your deeper knowledge and intuition, allowing you to make the right choices for you and your career.
You’ll have learned new ways of relating to challenges, and understand exactly what kind of support you need in your life, and what kind of support you can give others so they can rise and make an impact, too.
These shifts will continue to ripple through your life and your leadership long after our last session.
That’s what becoming a grounded leader is all about.
Tending to the fire inside you, and knowing how to use it to empower yourself and others, from a place of deep calm and confidence.
It starts with booking your free “Right Fit” call with me.
“When I started working with Elodie, I felt at the end of my rope. I was burnt-out as a leader, parent and general human in the world.
Elodie helped me make so many small changes that wedged open larger issues. She created a deep sense of safety during our session, allowing me to release a lot of pent up emotions. She helped me understand how I could integrate my brain and body back together, and guided me to find my own solutions to tricky situations and bring more joy into my life.
I felt a lot more in control, and I quickly started feeling a lot less burnt-out. I was amazed!”
“Working with Elodie made a huge difference for me. When I started working with her, I was dealing with so many difficult things at once. I felt stuck and overwhelmed, and needed to get out of the inertia and reduce my stress levels. She helped me break through the confusion and inertia I was feeling. I learned I can trust my judgment about bad situations more than I thought I could. My blood pressure is much lower now. I have more energy to take care of my life and myself, and I got a new job!”
“When I started working with Elodie, I felt stuck despite years of trying therapy and other approaches. I had both personal goals — like improving my ability to accept change and manage stress — and professional ones, including applying for a promotion. Her holistic, rigorous, and deeply human approach allowed me to work on all of this in one place.
Elodie adapted to what truly resonates for me and her range of tools helped me calm my nervous system and regain a clear sense of direction.
It’s an investment that is absolutely worth it: in six months, I unlocked more than I had in several years elsewhere. I recommend her wholeheartedly, and I’m already looking forward to working with her again!”
We are stronger together.
