Human Systems Strategist & Somatic Coach
You’ve optimized your professional life, but your internal system still feels heavy. Whether you’re navigating the edge of burnout or simply seeking a deeper connection with your mind and body, you are likely carrying The Silent Load™ - the quiet weight of an over-taxed body-mind system.
I merge Somatic Coaching with Integrated Attachment Theory, to expand your Internal Capacity and guide individuals to move from "Functional Freeze" into intentional living.
Together, we don't just solve for stress; we build your roadmap to understand your body’s signals, rewire the limiting beliefs of your Inner Critic, and reclaim a life built with intentional vision.
Let’s work together -

“The system—the person or the organization—already holds the answers. We don’t ‘fix’; we create the conditions for those answers to unfold.”
Hello,
I’m Lindsey
The Human Systems Strategist.
I spent a decade as an HR Tech Consultant (Workday/Peakon), optimizing technical systems and processes for global companies. On the outside, I was the high-performer. On the inside, I cycled between anxiety-driven performance and "functional freeze"—that quiet state where you’re performing, but not at your potential. I thrived on this approach for my most of my life, until my body said “no”.
Through my own journey, I realized that the core of sustainable success isn't another holiday; it’s a Regulated Human System. The ability to bounce back when stressors happen.
I help individuals and organizations break free from the freeze holding them back by bridging the gap between the Subconscious Mind and the Nervous System. We create the foundation in the body for the mind to be ready for change.
Whether I’m coaching a team or a high-achiever, my "composite" approach blends Integrated Attachment Theory with Somatic Knowledge to:
Learn to listen to body’s signals: Understand your system to build stability and recognize the warning signs early
Re-work Limiting Beliefs: Identify the "not good enough" or “worthiness” stories that drive perfectionism, workaholism, and burnout.
Expand Capacity: Widen your Window of Tolerance (Stress Capacity) so you can lead your system with intention through clear communication and boundary setting.
Your system doesn't distinguish between "work stress" and "life stress." Neither should your strategy. Let’s build your plan together.
