“I can choose what I think, say, and believe. And by questioning judgmental or anxious thoughts and reframing them, it is possible to find peace and hope, while navigating the world with confidence and joy. I am so thankful for this approach.”
- Margaret A (UX Designer)
You are an extraordinary person.
But the incessant negative chatter in your brain probably makes that hard to believe.
You might wonder:
“I have all these accolades, achievements, and gold stars…
but I still don’t feel like it’s quite enough.
Is my brain just broken?
Do I need to burn it all down and start again?”
The short answer? Absolutely not.
But the truth of the matter is this:
You don’t need a drastic “life reset” to feel better, calmer, more fulfilled, and happier.
But you DO need to learn how to work with all that inner critic chatter, and understand where it comes from… so you can make your brain a more pleasant place to be.
Even if that feels impossible after a lifetime of living in your own head… trust me, it’s easier (and more fun) than you think.
A sense of calm, joyful presence in your life isn’t something you’re born with (especially not high achievers).
It’s a learnable skill that I’ve already helped clients all over the world develop for themselves.
The Life Lab is where it all begins .
Inside the Life Lab, you’ll learn a combination of neuroscience and mindfulness tools that can change everything about the way your brain talks back to you.
The goal?
To drastically change how you feel IN your life without making drastic changes TO your life...
… so you can focus your mental and emotional energy on what matters most.
(Like spending time on the people, hobbies, and life-enriching stuff that fills your cup – instead of constantly low-level panicking about what’s going on at work.)
Who should join
the Life Lab?
Well, YOU! If:
…yet you feel like a failure in real life- or like you’re always trying to prove yourself. You want to feel like you’ve made it.
And/but most of all?
If you're ready to stop trying to DIY this thing because that hasn’t been working?
I’m ready for you.
You need to be able to start to work with your brain in a totally new way. To see your thoughts as changeable and commit to partnering with yourself to feel calmer.
You need someone to see you -- really see you, and where you are– stuck -- and help create habits and a self concept that can support future you in living a full life.
Imagine a life where you can choose how you feel each day.
A life that…
-
Engages and inspires you so that you feel excited for each day
-
Nurtures your relationship with you (hello inner best friend) so that you walk into every room with confidence (goodbye worrying what others are thinking)
-
Connects with your big why(s) so that you do more of what you want to be doing in this world
-
Rewires your brain so that you can step into feeling calm and collected
-
Regulates your nervous system so that you can have fulfilling relationships and harmony at home
-
Shifts your relationship with procrastination and perfectionism so that you can achieve any goal you set
-
Works with your emotions so that you can feel like the hero of your own story.
Here’s the thing, my high-achieving friend:
Your natural state is one of peace and enjoyment, and I can prove it.
It’s time to tap back into that.
The Life Club will teach you how.
Curious what other's have to say?
“I want to say thank you to you, Cecelia. Your patience, openness and calmness are very reassuring to be around, and you build trust with the group which allows me to start to feel that I can participate. I joined to help calm my jumbled feeling brain - And yes, I am starting to make some progress, which feels so good to say.”
The Life Lab is the approach you’ve been looking for.
It’s not another fake it until you make it, force yourself to show up experience.
It’s a virtual yearly mentorship program with ongoing expert teaching and coaching- all for less than what you spend on wine each month to chill out each evening.
This program is like a gym membership for your heart and mind and will become the best part of your week.
Our students have said that they've seen more progress in one month using this approach than they have in years of therapy.
You can feel calm in life, you can show up how you want to day to day all without spending lots of time and effort.

-
WEEKLY COACHING LESSONS ON TOPICS IMPORTANT TO YOU:
Each month there’s a topic and each Monday there’s a specific lesson so that you can stay connected to this work. And the real value here is that these lessons are actionable- because the real change happens when you DO the work- not when you read about it. If the monthly topic is relationships with others a weekly lesson might be setting boundaries not ultimatums.
-
THE HELP ME (K)NOW BUTTON:
You get access to a backlog of courses, workshops, coaching calls, and somatic sessions so that you can get support when you need it. And the real value is that you use this material in a way and time that fits your life.
Hi there, I’m Cecelia –
but you can call me The Calm Brain Coach.
And I help brilliant, hardworking humans like you slow down, get present, and finally stop chasing the “hologram carrot” of achievement … so they create a more peaceful life while honoring their gifts, drive, and abilities at the same time.
As a formerly-gifted-kid, Columbia grad, high-achievement addict whose job as a corporate scientist didn’t offer me the life satisfaction I’d hoped it would – I’ve felt stuck, frustrated, and stressed in my looks-good-on-the-outside life. I got to the point where it really felt that there wasn’t a way to happiness without burning it all down.
So I burned it down… and in the process learned a lot so you don’t have to.
Since then, I’ve earned my Masters in mental health counseling and my life coach certification from The Life Coach School (along with training in yoga, breathwork, and other mindfulness modalities) with a single goal: to help high achievers stop chasing the achievement, and come home to themselves by making their brains a calmer, more balanced place to be.
My work has helped thousands of people all over the world… and I’d love to help you next. Leverage my education, experience, and expertise, and let’s change the anxious, always-busy tape that’s playing inside your head forever.
