You shouldn’t have to be exhausted to be good at what you do.
If you’re a sensitive person in a demanding professional role, you already know this tension.
You care deeply. You notice what others miss. You’re often the one reading the room, picking up on what’s off, stepping in before things escalate, and quietly holding things together behind the scenes—often without recognition. And somewhere along the way, your own needs get pushed aside.
Somatic Tools for Personal and Collective Transformation exists to help you thrive without burning out or pushing past your own needs.
You are the one holding it together—and paying the price.
You’re capable, thoughtful, and committed. You want to do meaningful work and stay well while doing it.
But the reality looks more like this:
You’re doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work—managing dynamics, preventing problems, filling in gaps—that no one seems to notice or acknowledge
You feel constantly keyed up or completely wiped out from nonstop emails, meetings, noise, and pressure to always be “on”
Saying no feels impossible, even when you’re exhausted
You keep doing more and more for others while quietly wondering if you’re doing enough or doing it right
You live in your head because slowing down doesn’t feel safe
You find yourself wondering if something is wrong with you for feeling things so deeply or needing more recovery time
The problem isn’t you.
The problem is trying to survive demanding systems with tools that were never designed for how you’re wired.
Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a nervous system signal.
On the outside, the problem looks like:
Too much work
Too many demands
Too little support
On the inside, it feels like:
Chronic tension
Guilt when you rest
Anxiety about disappointing others
Losing touch with what you actually need
You don’t need to toughen up. You need a different approach.
I’m Rachel Wilson, LCSW and certified yoga therapist.
I work with sensitive people in demanding professional roles who are carrying a lot of behind-the-scenes responsibility—and quietly paying for it with their health, energy, and sense of self.
I bring nearly two decades of experience helping people reconnect with their bodies, understand their stress responses, and heal from what’s hurt them. I also bring my own lived experience of being a sensitive person navigating responsibility, leadership, and care for others—learning, often the hard way, what happens when you consistently put yourself last.
I know what it’s like to push past exhaustion because slowing down doesn’t feel safe. I know the confusion of being deeply capable and deeply exhausted at the same time.
I see you—and I know there’s a way forward that doesn’t require pushing past your limits or putting yourself last.
This work is grounded in deep empathy and backed by skill. We work with your nervous system, not against it, and we honor both your individual experience and the larger systems you’re navigating—because burnout and exhaustion don’t come from nowhere. They build over time in environments that ask too much and give too little back.
A simple, body‑based path forward: The Powerful Sensitivity Method
This work is grounded in the Powerful Sensitivity Method—a body‑based framework for sensitive people in demanding professional roles who care deeply, notice a lot, and often carry behind‑the‑scenes responsibility.
Rather than asking you to push through, toughen up, or fix yourself, this method helps you work with your sensitivity so you can stay effective without running yourself into exhaustion.
Over time, the Powerful Sensitivity Method helps you become more attuned to what you need, steadier in the face of stress, and clearer about what’s yours to carry and what’s not. It supports you in calming your body when work feels like too much, trusting your internal signals, and making decisions that are sustainable—not just expected.
The result is not perfection or constant calm, but more capacity, clearer boundaries, and a way of working that doesn’t require putting yourself last.
