BURNOUT & STRESS MANAGEMENT

TRAUMA THERAPY

You’ve lost the sense of fulfillment that used to drive you. The exhaustion is so overwhelming that it feels like you're running on empty every single day.


Whether you're a healthcare professional or an entrepreneur, the long hours, the constant pressure, the high-stakes decisions… it’s a lot. And it’s like the more you give, the more it feels like it’s never enough. And even when you finally get some downtime, the anxiety persists and it’s hard to turn yourself off.


YOU KNOW SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE…YOU’RE JUST NOT SURE WHAT.


You often find yourself wondering if you can keep up with it all. You’ve always tied your identity to your work—whether it’s patient care or building your business—but lately, it feels like it's taking more than it’s giving.


You find yourself

questioning your abilities &

wondering if you're even

Making a difference.


The fear of failure, the endless need to stay focused, and the pressure to perform are starting to eat away at you. It’s hard to find a balance between giving your all and taking care of yourself. And somewhere along the way, you’ve lost sight of how to reconnect with the purpose that once fueled you. You deserve to feel fulfilled and at peace with the work you do—without losing yourself in the process.



HEY, I'M ALTHEA FERNANDES.


With over two decades in healthcare and my own journey as an entrepreneur, I understand these challenges on a personal level. I believe that healing requires more than just coping skills.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
