Come Home to Yourself

Through Presence and Compassion

Presence, not perfection

It’s easy to look like you have it all together and still feel like something’s missing.

 

Maybe you’ve spent years striving, pushing through, and performing. Maybe you’ve been managing expectations and performance anxiety beneath the surface. All while appearing calm on the outside. Hoping that if you just do enough, you’ll finally get to rest. But the peace you long for stays just out of reach.

 

This isn’t a new mindset to master or a strategy to implement.
 

It’s a pause. A chance to stop performing, soften the pressure, and start listening inward.

 

If you’re carrying quiet exhaustion or bracing against constant stress, you’re not alone. You don’t have to hold it all together here. This work offers real burnout support: for the unraveling, for recovery from emotional exhaustion, and for coming back to yourself.

 

Whether it shows up as emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, or quiet self-doubt, this is a space to untangle what’s underneath and begin healing.

 

What’s tangled begins to loosen. Something in you can finally exhale.

Hi, I am Jo Liu

I’m a trauma-informed burnout coach based in NYC, offering burnout and anxiety support through a mindfulness-based approach grounded in emotional safety and attuned presence.
 

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk with you, with honesty, warmth, and care.

 

I work with people who’ve had to hold it all together. They’ve stayed strong, kept performing, and pushed through pressure at the cost of self-connection. Many are navigating anxiety that simmers beneath capability.

 

My background is in visual storytelling, which sharpened my sensitivity to what lives beneath the surface. That same sensitivity now shapes how I hold space: relational, intuitive, and grounded.

 

This is where we pause. This is where you start listening inward again. For many, it becomes a healing path, whether emotional, spiritual, or personal, that supports real integration and lasting change.

While I’m based in NYC, I also work with clients online in high-pressure cities like Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, where the drive to keep performing can take a quiet toll on self-worth and emotional wellbeing.

You are not a project to fix.
This work meets you holistically as a whole person to hear what your burnout, overwhelm, or self-doubt may be signaling beneath the surface. It changes the way you relate to yourself and how you move through life, with more trust and equanimity.

Healing begins with reconnection

My work supports that through presence, attunement, and a steady space to meet yourself honestly and without pressure.

Tools I use

The tools I use are experiential, supporting different aspects of self-connection, whether that’s quieting mental noise, deepening emotional insight, or helping you feel more at home in your body.

My background in visual storytelling brings a creative sensitivity to this work. I attune not just to what’s said, but to what’s felt. Each session is responsive and shaped by what’s alive in the moment.
