Amiga, you don’t have to keep proving yourself by running on empty.

You get to log off, say no, and still be an amazing therapist.

I coach first-gen therapists to heal burnout at the nervous-system level, set boundaries without guilt, and finally feel grounded — in their work, their relationships, and their rest.

Hi, I’m Geri — burnout life coach and founder of Womxn & Compass Collective®.

I help first-gen therapists stop overgiving and start living.

Through neuroscience-based coaching, we’ll rewire your nervous system, build boundaries that actually feel good, and create work-life rhythms that work for you, so you can rest, lead, and love without running on empty.

I care about this work because I’ve been where you are — and I believe every therapist deserves to thrive, not just survive.

You’re exhausted from carrying everyone — your clients, your coworkers, even your family — and there’s never enough of you to go around.

You say yes when you want to say no, then feel guilty, resentful, or both, and you’re scared that if you stop over-giving you’ll let everyone down. You want to feel in control of your time, proud of your boundaries, and confident you’re showing up for the people and work you love.

I get it — because I’ve been there.

As a first-gen trauma therapist, I used to say yes to too many clients, work late, and still feel like I wasn’t doing enough in my work and personal relationships.

That’s why I became a certified life coach and trauma-informed yoga instructor — to help first-gen therapists like you stop running on fumes. Together, we’ll use neuroscience-based coaching, practical boundary scripts, and body-based tools to calm your nervous system and make change stick — so you can rest, set boundaries without guilt, and feel proud of how you show up everywhere else.
