From Burnout to Breakthrough—Then Teaching Others the Way Out
After 20 years in tech leadership—and my own journey through anxiety and burnout—I founded Take 5 to help professionals transform stress into calm and reconnect with purpose. As a Fresno-based hypnotherapist, holistic health coach, and workplace wellness educator, I blend science and spirituality to help individuals and teams lead from clarity.
Serving Fresno, Clovis, Madera, and Central Valley professionals.
