You Were Never Meant to Trade Yourself for a To-Do List.
This isn’t about abandoning your responsibilities —
it’s about no longer abandoning yourself.

Helping high-achieving women reconnect with joy, pleasure, and inner freedom
A Life You Can Fall in Love With
I help brilliant, big-hearted women on the brink of burnout remember:
You’re not here just to perform, perfect, or push through — but to truly live.
Deeply. Vibrantly. Unapologetically.
Because somewhere beneath the striving, you already sense there’s another way.
The Weight of
doing it all
You’ve become the responsible one.
The fixer.
You know the show must go on — even when you’re held together with dry shampoo and sheer will.
You’ve perfected the brave face.
Even when your chest is tight, your sleep is shattered, and tears surprise you in the car park.
And then, at 2 a.m., that quiet fear sneaks in:
"Is this all there is?"
What if more control isn’t the answer?
What if “coping better” is just another disguise your burnout wears?
Playing the ‘Good Girl’
Game is Exhausting
You remember everyone’s birthdays and the dog’s vet check…
But forget to take a wee break when you’re busy at work.
You run on guilt, fear, and caffeine. You dream of being calm, but “just relax” feels like a cruel joke.
You recognise the culture of overperformance —
yet, you’re driven by the fear of what if you stop,
and the pull of being needed.
And under that high-functioning façade?
Your body treats stillness like the enemy that can’t be trusted.
Your breath never seems to make it past your collarbones.
Your mind spins faster than a toddler on red cordial.
You say “I’m fine” — but the flash of rage and the hollow ache afterwards tell a different story.
This is Your Invitation to Exhale.
To soften. To delight. To be wildly, exquisitely present.
To feel a warm breeze wrap around your shoulders as you arrive home — keys and energy intact.
To put down the chopping knife and pick up the rhythm of a song you love, jumping around like you’re 19.
To fall in love with your job again, like a new-grad, full of passion and energy.
To feel goosebump ideas, unexpected laughter, and secret desires come alive.
These aren’t just ideas — they’re practices we explore.
Together, we’ll turn insight into action - from navigating boundaries and burnout to creating daily rituals that nurture rest and joy.
I’m Mitzi
Clinical Psychologist | Inner Freedom Finder | Pleasure Promoter
I’m here for women who are hyper-competent but bone-tired — living for the weekend, secretly wondering if anyone will ever say, ‘Let me take care of you.’
I see you, because I was you.
My career: carefully curated choices.
My reputation: always above and beyond.
Inside: running on fear, people-pleasing, and a mountain of “shoulds.”
My awakening didn’t come in a flash — it came slowly, like morning light slipping through a curtain crack.
It turned me on to the delight and deliciousness waiting in the here and now.
It made me whole.
It woke up a desire for life that doesn’t require stress management as a prerequisite.
Psychology for Aliveness
As a clinical psychologist specialising in burnout, perfectionism, and stress recovery, I help women move beyond survival and rediscover their vitality and joy.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing okay. I shouldn’t need a psychologist,” I want you to know: that belief is outdated.
Psychology isn’t just for mental illness.
It’s for mental aliveness.
It’s for untangling patterns that exhaust you, rewriting stories that keep you stuck in perfection and people-pleasing, and creating a life you don’t need to escape.
This work changes everything.
Not because you become someone new -
but because you remember who you were before the world told you to be good.
