Helping high-performing professionals and business owners build back from burnout.
Burnout saps the life out of you. I know, because I’ve been there (learn more about my story here).
If you too have experienced burnout — whether as a result of overwork, value misalignment or something you can’t quite pinpoint — I want to help.
So if you’re feeling ready to make some incredible changes to move you forward into the next chapter of your life and career, let’s talk.
With you in the driver’s seat, I’ll help you align your life (and your career) with your values, make decisions to move you in the right direction, and figure out how to get that energy and zest for life back.
Because it is possible. Sometimes, we just need a little help.

Kind words from happy clients

“I have had the pleasure of having a few coaching sessions with Riss. No matter what I want to tackle in the session, Riss always has the tools on hand to help me work through it. Clarissa's coaching has been invaluable, I would recommend her to anyone.”
Alla Rull
“After 12 years in education—as a teacher, leader, and then Principal—I found myself completely burnt out. The unrealistic demands of the role became too much, and I lost the 'heart' to keep going. My mental health was rapidly declining, and I knew something had to change.
Enter Clarissa!
At a truly critical time in my life, Clarissa provided the professional coaching I didn’t even realise I so deeply needed. Through our one-on-one sessions, she held space for me to process big emotions, reflect on what really mattered, and navigate the huge transition of stepping away from a career I had poured so much of myself into.
Clarissa’s calm presence became an anchor for me. I felt genuinely seen, heard, and supported—no judgment, just curiosity, compassion, and clarity. She helped me reconnect with my values and reimagine a future that actually felt aligned, sustainable, and joy-filled.
Thanks to Clarissa, I have not only recovered from burnout—I’ve also found a path forward that brings me balance, purpose and excitement. I am so grateful for her partnership during one of the most important pivots of my life.”
