Hi, I’m Mieka.

I’m an organizational psychologist and coach at the nexus of neuroscience, leadership, and well-being.

For me, this work got personal when my mom almost died from burnout. There’s a better way to succeed.

I’m part coach, part strategist. I’ll challenge you, back you, and help you hone your inner-game so you can create results you’re proud of and can sustain.

If you want success—without burnout—I’m for you.

  • When I was in business school, my mom nearly died from burnout—not metaphorically, but literally. Watching her collapse under the weight of overwork cracked open everything I believed about success.

    She recovered, but I couldn’t unsee what had happened. I started noticing how deeply work shapes our wellbeing—and how even in purpose-driven workplaces, people burn out. The problem wasn’t just the system. It was in us: the stories, habits, and nervous-system patterns we’ve inherited about what it means to be worthy, productive, and successful.

    That realization sent me on a decade-long exploration across psychology, neurobiology, and leadership. I earned advanced degrees, trained with world-class teachers, and did my own healing work. Slowly, I learned how to work differently—and help others do the same.

    My biggest lesson? To change the system, you have to start with yourself.

  • My work lives at the intersection of science, psychology, and embodiment. I help ambitious people transform their relationship with work—from the inside out.

    No quick fixes. No “optimize your morning” hacks. Instead, we get underneath the surface to uncover and rewire the patterns that drive overwork and chronic stress.

    You’ll learn to:

    • Understand your nervous system under pressure

    • Uncover the stories shaping your behavior

    • Redefine success in ways that align with your values and wellbeing

    • Build sustainable performance that actually lasts

  • I bring both academic rigor and lived experience to my work.


    Education & Training:

    • Masters, Applied Industrial/Organizational Psychology – Colorado State University

    • Masters Certificate, Applied Neuroscience – King’s College London

    • Bachelors, Business Administration & Political Science – University of Washington

    • Certified Somatic Leadership Coach – The Strozzi Institute

    • Non-Violent Communication Leadership Program – BayNVC

    • Heart of Facilitation Leadership Program – Center for Equity and Inclusion

    • Certified Change Management Practitioner – AIM Methodology

    This interdisciplinary foundation allows me to bridge the gap between science and soul—helping leaders make deep, lasting shifts in how they work and lead.

  • I work with high-performing, values-driven professionals who want success without burnout. People who sense there has to be another way—one that honors their health, relationships, and integrity.

    Together, we:

    • Uncover the unconscious patterns that fuel overwork

    • Rewire stress at the neurobiological level

    • Redefine success in a way that feels human and whole

    • Build sustainable systems for high performance—without burnout

    You don’t have to quit your job to find freedom (unless you want to).

  • I believe our best work happens when we’re thriving, not surviving. My mission is to help build a new era of leadership—one rooted in awareness, humanity, and sustainability.

    Through my coaching, workshops, and signature course, The Core Process (coming soon), I’m helping redefine what modern success looks like: not endless output, but integrated, embodied excellence.

    Consider me your champion for a healthy work era.

There’s a better way to lead.
