HSP Coaching for Leaders: The Holistic Approach to Sustainable Resilience
Oct 30, 2025
"So, what exactly do you do?"
I get asked this question a lot. And I get it - on the surface, my work looks like a lot of different things.
NLP Coaching. Essential oils. NIA movement. Wild Voice™ writing.
When people ask what ties all of this together, my answer is simple: sustainable resilience for highly sensitive leaders.
And resilience - real, lasting resilience - isn't about bouncing back.
Why "Bounce Back" Doesn't Work for HSPs
The idea of resilience being the ability to 'bounce back' in the face of adversity quite honestly grates for me. I wonder whether this definition has been created by the 30% of the population who live up the other end of the sensitivity spectrum and are not sensitive - the dandelions, if you're familiar with the orchid, tulip, dandelion theory of sensitivity.
Which would mean the current view of resilience doesn't work for 70% of the population.
Highly Sensitive People will rarely bounce back, shiny and good as new when bad things happen. We process deeply, bear the emotional scars and - if we've done some personal development work - we bounce forward. We incorporate the lessons and go forth, wiser and better prepared.
This is why my work looks the way it does.
Building true resilience as an HSP requires us to work with mind, body, emotion and spirit. This understanding led me to develop Revolutionary Resilience - a coaching model that honours the wholeness of who we are as sensitive leaders.
The Revolutionary Resilience Model
Revolutionary Resilience is my antidote to the toxic 'bounce back' culture that leaves so many of us feeling inadequate.
It's a holistic coaching approach that acknowledges we are complex, interconnected beings. Think of it like a bag of liquorice allsorts - each piece looks different, but they all share the same liquorice core.
The different strands of my work all share a common core: they help highly sensitive people embrace their sensitivity and flourish as leaders.
Sustainable leadership grows like a tree - from deep, interconnected roots that nourish everything above ground.
The Four Roots (Foundational Domains):
- Mind
- Body
- Emotion
- Spirit
The Five Branches (Outcomes):
- Sustainable Leadership
- Self-Acceptance
- Wellbeing
- Confidence
- Visibility
When your roots are strong and nourished, the outcomes naturally flourish. The stronger your roots, the more sustainably you can lead.
How I Support Each Domain
You could say that each strand of my coaching addresses one of these four foundational roots (though they do all overlap and interconnect):
Mind: NLP Coaching helps you gain mental clarity, reframe limiting beliefs, and tame that busy Mustang mind that thinks about 150 different things at once.
Body: Pure dŨTERRA Essential Oils support your nervous system and reduce your toxic load. NIA-inspired movement brings enhanced awareness, embodied joy and connection.
Emotion: Wild Voice™ Writing creates space for emotional release, helps you access your deep intuition, and reconnects you with your authentic self.
Spirit: We explore connection to something bigger - whether that's Nature, quantum energy, ancient wisdom, or your own inner knowing.
When woven together, these create the kind of sustainable resilience that allows you to lead without burning out.
Resilience is a Daily Practice
I've come to realise that resilience doesn't come from sporadic spa days, booked as a last resort when our nervous systems are on the brink of collapse.
Being truly resilient as an HSP requires daily habits that support our sensitive nervous systems and build a strong foundation.
When you tend to these four roots consistently, your baseline level of coping becomes much higher. When inevitable setbacks occur, you're able to bounce forward.
Which Support Do You Need?
As a highly sensitive leader, you have unique strengths that can drive incredible impact. Yet those same qualities can make you vulnerable to exhaustion and burnout - especially if you don't understand how to work with your sensitive physiology.
Maybe you're struggling with:
- A busy mind that overthinks everything and keeps you stuck in analysis paralysis
- Physical exhaustion and a nervous system that feels constantly on edge
- Emotions that feel too big
- Difficulty accessing your authentic voice
- A sense of disconnection from your purpose
The beauty of this holistic, whole system approach is that we can find exactly what you need, when you need it.
Sometimes one coaching session is all it takes to shift things. Other times, you might benefit from the Born to Lead program that weaves all four domains together. Or perhaps you need the daily support of essential oils while we do deeper work through Wild Voice™ writing.
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to HSP coaching.
