Burnout and Somatic Healing for High-Achieving Women

Burnout is a growing concern among high-achieving women. Recent Gallup research shows that women employed full time report higher levels of burnout than men. Many are balancing demanding careers, leadership responsibilities and the invisible work of caring for others, all while under pressure to remain productive. Over time, chronic stress, limited recovery and hormonal changes can contribute to anxiety, exhaustion and self-doubt.

In this experiential workshop, you’ll explore why logic and willpower alone may not be enough to break the cycle. Drawing on nervous-system science and trauma-informed approaches, we’ll examine how deeply rooted survival patterns can keep us pushing past the body’s signals, and how working with the body can create meaningful change.

Through guided visualisation, somatic exercises and mindset practices, you’ll learn how thoughts, emotions and physical sensations interact. You’ll leave with practical ways to regulate your nervous system, recognise your needs and respond with greater awareness. These tools can support your own wellbeing and, for practitioners, complement the work you do with clients.

What You’ll Learn: 

• Why so many high-achieving women suddenly feel they can’t cope like they used to
• How chronic stress, hormonal shifts and trauma keep the body stuck in survival
• Why healing takes more than insight; it takes the inner safety to feel what you’ve been avoiding
• How somatic practices regulate the nervous system, support emotional healing and improve wellbeing

Practical tools to reduce overwhelm and respond to your body’s warning signs with greater awareness
