About Manna

Please note this is a composite of the modern human facing multiple stressors. You may or may not be in a similar situation in terms of a partner, kids, career, etc. but perhaps you can relate to the feelings, thoughts and actions associated with burnout.

You wake up feeling unrested, but the day’s demands don’t care. Your phone greets you with social media and news, triggering dread and frustration. Coffee helps soothe your nerves, but your morning is still rushed. You barely have time for breakfast before you’re fighting traffic, stressed before you even get to work.

Your job, once exciting, now feels draining. You power through the day with more coffee, but it’s a trade-off. It keeps you awake but ruins your sleep and messes with your gut. Anxiety rises with each email, especially from your boss, and you feel the tension in your neck that causes constant headaches. After work, there’s more chaos—your kids’ activities, your friend’s constant requests for help, and all the tasks that never seem to end. You struggle to say no, fearing disappointment, but everything feels like it’s piling up. When does it end?

Evenings are no better. You juggle chores, feeling resentful when others don’t do things to your standards. By the time your spouse gets home, you’re too tired to engage, and dinner is thrown together out of necessity. Afterward, you zone out in front of the TV, scrolling through social media. When you finally get to bed, you delay it because this is your “me time,” but you’re wired and restless, stressing about the day ahead.

You wake up in the middle of the night—again. The cycle feels endless, and it’s hard to break out of it. You’ve tried to push through, relying on caffeine and sugar to get by, but you know something has to change. You feel disconnected—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and wonder if therapy could help.

 This was similar to my reality too. I was caught in a cycle of stress, exhaustion, and emotional burnout. I learned that mental health isn’t just about talking it out—it’s about balancing the mind, body, and spirit. 

 I was able to uncover the root causes of my stress and emotional struggles. By focusing on holistic practices—nutrition, lifestyle habits, and mindfulness—I began to restore balance to my life.  It wasn’t just about surviving, but thriving.

Now,  I use this same approach to help others.  By addressing the root causes of your stress, creating balance in your life, and nurturing your mind, body, and spirit, you can begin to find peace and clarity. Together, we’ll take steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life—one that’s aligned with your true self.
