​​​​​​Insight & Action for Healthcare Professionals
Hi, I’m Candace. I partner with healthcare workers to navigate the challenges of burnout. Drawing on my own experience in medical settings, I lead with authenticity, humor, and research-based practices aimed at meaningful transformation.
In addition to talk therapy, I often introduce physical practices that invite you get in touch with the wisdom held by the body. We work to calm the nervous system and gain a sense of peace, whether you are reclaiming it or discovering it for the first time.
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."
-Audre Lorde
For the Healthcare Worker Who is Tired of Doing It All
​
You are successful at helping everyone else thrive: your patients, your friends, your children, your partner and your parents, but you don't have the energy to care for yourself at the end of a long day.
Your candle has burned out! But because of your deep compassion, work ethic, and challenges with saying no, you continue to do it all. In the eyes of your family, friends, and colleagues you look put together. They have no idea of the depth of the emotional distress you are struggling with because you have slowly and consistently failed to attend to your own needs.
You are in the right place if you:
-
Feel guilty for needing a break
-
Are the 'fixer' at work but feeling broken at home
-
Ignore your body telling you to set boundaries, rest and slow down​
-
Are a BIPOC healthcare worker, and you feel the extra weight of systemic stressors and the pressure to represent
-
Use alcohol/drugs to cope with work stress and are concerned about your use
-
Are struggling with returning to your healthcare work setting after having a child
