Trainings for Burnout Recovery and Prevention

Burnout and workplace stress are at an all time high. Workers are feeling physical and emotional exhaustion, which then impacts how they show up in the workplace. Studies show that 89% of workers reported feeling some level of burnout within the last year.

The good news? I’ve spent the last 7 years deep diving into what causes and heals burnout and I’m here to help. Through lived experience I gained effective tools to help people fill their cup and manage stress.

One of my favorite ways to help people fill their cup is to reconnect to joy through adding in more fun and play! I offer play sessions to organizations that reconnect participants to their creativity and allow space to laugh in community.

I’m also a certified somatic practitioner, trained in Somatic Stress Release. I help people understand their stress response and utilize body-based practices to release stress. I offer somatic sessions that guide teams through the fundamentals of stress management and resilience, with an emphasis on practical tools that be applied in everyday life.

Our bodies are holding so much from the last 5 years and I’d love to talk to you more about how I can help your employees feel revitalized through somatics and play.

Hi! I’m Shelly!

A Little About Me:

  • I’m a certified Somatic Practitioner who specializes in stress release and nervous system regulation.

  • I’m also a play coach and help others discover how to prioritize play!

  • Dance is the easiest way for me to connect to joy! I love to swing dance and am always out in nature dancing.

  • I believe that joy is essential to help us navigate times of global stress.

Employees are having so much fun!

Here are comments captured from the Teams chat of a recent play session.

Testimonials

  • “Shelly is a master facilitator and trainer. She created a lively, interactive session (not easy to do in a virtual environment with 60+ participants!) and shared so many ideas of how to immediately implement more fun and lightheartedness into regular work tasks. It was refreshing to see my colleagues also receptive to ideas of play—that we each crave a little more joy and can have fun together while being effective in our work. I highly recommend Shelly as a facilitator and hope to participate in more of her workshops in the future!”

  • “I had fantastic play session with Shelly, and it reminded me how much I miss blending fun into my work. Transitioning from fitness to academia has been so intellectually rigorous for me, and getting back to that playful, silly spirit was a fresh take on things. She had us moving, and using our creativity to play. The vibe Shelly brings is welcoming, non-judgmental, and passionate about healing corporate and life burnout in this way. I hope to keep this fun attitude going in future work settings.”

  • “Shelly, your energy is so calming, so gentle and encouraging, it stayed with me for the whole week! Thank you for being so patient with answering my questions, it was so helpful. I've been doing some of the movements we did together every day, because they're so simple and easy to do and yet also so impactful and relaxing. I can feel my body softening a tiny bit more each day and that's so wonderful and special.”
