I built the beautiful rooms.
I also know what it feels like to stand in them and feel nothing.
I spent two decades in the rooms most women are trying to get into. MBA. Director roles at luxury cosmetics companies — NARS and Bobbi Brown. Founded Y et Beauté, a clean luxury beauty brand carried by Credo Beauty.
From the outside, I had arrived. From the inside, my system was red-lining.
When continuous over-functioning ultimately left me facing a major spinal surgery, my body forced me to listen. True burnout recovery wasn't going to come from another mindset framework — it required an internal upgrade to my nervous system.
Today, I combine my corporate lived experience with 25 years of disciplined somatic work to help women upgrade their internal container so they can finally enjoy the life they've built.
This is not
another framework.
It is a homecoming.
Burnout doesn't just exhaust you — it closes you off. To pleasure. To intimacy. To feeling anything at all. That numbness isn't a character flaw. It's your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do under pressure.
My work goes directly to the body — where the shutdown lives — to upgrade your capacity to hold more. More success without the cost. More intimacy without the bracing. More aliveness in the life you've already built.
I use the VITA™ Method — a trauma-informed system weaving modern psychology with somatic practice — combined with Hakomi-Informed Somatic Coaching, a mindfulness-based approach that works directly with the nervous system.
Before we work on anything,
you will feel safe in a way
you may never have experienced before.
That safety is where
the real work begins.

A Little Off the Record
Guilty pleasure?
TV after the kids are in bed. And then sneaking in to snuggle them anyway.
Common misconception?
That I have everything figured out. I'm in this work too — it's not a role I put on. It's how I live.
Biggest accomplishment?
My kids. Everything else feels smaller when I'm honest.
What do you want women to feel?
Alive. Turned on by their own life.
"Any words of gratitude fall short in expressing how much working with Esther meant to me. She is an incredibly loving, intuitive, and special soul. I felt powerfully held, witnessed, and seen in our sessions together. She helped me move through and transmute some very heavy issues I had been holding on to for decades — with loving tenderness and care. Working with Esther taught me that my relationship struggles weren’t about finding the right person — they were about being disconnected from myself. The somatic practices helped me drop out of my head and into my body. I finally understand what ‘coming home to myself’ means — and it’s changing how I show up in every relationship."
— Sue C.
"Esther held the safest space I’ve ever experienced. She helped me see patterns I’d been repeating my whole life without judgement — just curiosity and compassion. I’m still on my journey, but I finally feel like I’m moving toward love instead of running from myself."
— Christina N.
"Esther is an exceptional life coach. Her meditation sessions helped me feel calm and relaxed, significantly reducing my anxiety, and her mantras gave me real confidence. When I was struggling with job rejections, she guided me to visualize my dream job and workplace in detail, which kept me focused and motivated. I eventually landed a great job with better compensation, a positive environment, and exactly what I had envisioned. She also helped me learn how to handle difficult people at work with confidence and clarity. I highly recommend Esther as a truly impactful and supportive coach."
— Rosa K.
"Esther has a wonderfully calming presence and provides clarity and deep care with her coaching. She helped me release limiting beliefs and renew my connection with my own pleasure and body. I feel more expanded and present after my time with Esther. She uses many powerful techniques that can help rewire patterns to bring about a healthier and more embodied sense of self. Thank you so much, Esther!"
