The Burnout That Was Never Yours
A Poetic Invitation Back to Aliveness
Burnout.
They named it like a failure.
Like a flame that couldn’t keep.
Like you just weren’t strong enough
to stay lit.
But what if burnout
isn’t the end of your fire —
but the body’s last attempt
to bring you home?
What if burnout is wisdom?
What if it’s not weakness
but a whisper from your nervous system
saying:
"I cannot pretend to be the machine anymore.”
You were not made to glow under fluorescent lights
or run on calendar squares and caffeine.
You were never meant to prove your worth
by your productivity.
You are not a deadline.
You are a dawn.
Burnout is not a personal failing.
It is a system failing.
It is your soul saying
“No more.”
No more pretending that being numb is noble.
No more serving from empty.
No more self-abandonment for applause.
Burnout is the wisdom of the body
pulling the emergency brake
on a life that forgot to include you.
And what a relief
to finally stop.
To listen.
To fall into the arms of the earth
and feel your pulse return to rhythm.
✨ So what now?
You could keep chasing balance
like it’s a line to walk.
Or…
You could let yourself be held.
You could receive something
you didn’t even know you were missing.
You could lie down
and have your mind decluttered,
your nervous system soothed,
your energy returned to you.
This is what we do in an Access Bars Session.
Thirty-two points on the head
gently touched,
to melt the static.
Clear the noise.
And make space for you.
For your truth.
Your knowing.
Your clarity.
Your calm.
Whether in Vancouver,
in a studio,
under a tree —
you’re welcome.
This isn’t self-care.
This is sovereignty.
It’s not about going back to how things were.
It’s about discovering what else is possible
when your system is no longer in survival.
It’s the return of creativity.
Of rest.
Of joy that doesn’t require a reason.
This is the work I offer —
Sessions that meet you where you are
and walk you gently
back to where you’ve always belonged:
inside your body,
inside your life,
inside your power.

It’s the beginning
