Pocket Reset™ is the real-time method I use to help leaders stay composed when intensity peaks.
I help high-performing founders stay steady under pressure so decisions stay sharp, relationships stabilize quickly, and execution stays clean when intensity spikes.
Regulation is Performance
Elite founders and leaders come to me when they need steadiness in the moments that carry real weight. Through trauma-informed, body-first coaching, I help leaders develop the internal capacity to stay clear, grounded, and effective under pressure.

The Pocket Reset™ Method
A Pocket Reset™ is a real-time physiological reset for leaders who can’t afford to spin.
In less than two minutes, you learn to interrupt the stress loop, bring your system back to “safe enough,” and let your judgment come back online. Instead of reacting from adrenaline, you downshift quietly, stay present in the room, and choose your next move from steadiness rather than strain.
In practice, it allows you to:
catch the moment momentum turns to spin,
restore internal composure without a visible tell,
keep decisions, conversations, and execution clean when pressure spikes.
This is the backbone of all my work—whether we’re in a single session, a two-day intensive, or a year-long engagement.
