FROM BURNOUT to BREAKTHROUGH
Why I Left the Corporate World to Redefine Modern Wellness
I started Modern Health Collective out of two things: a lifelong passion for wellness —and a very personal reckoning with burnout. I’ve been chasing wellness long before “wellness” had an Instagram account. I used to do detoxes before detoxing was cool—back when you had to make your own green juices (yes, with a clunky juicer and a fridge full of parsley, the OG kale). I once swallowed straight bentonite clay because I read it was good for you—never mind the taste. I’ve done the hardcore stuff. Pushed my body to the limit in the name of being healthy and feeling alive.
But somewhere along the way, work took over my life. The stress crept in. The long hours piled up. And the rituals that once made me feel strong started to feel like just another demand. I knew what it felt like to give everything to a job and lose my energy, my focus, my health—and sometimes, even my mind.
Like many women trying to hold it all together, I packed my schedule with workouts, massages, beauty appointments, supplements, even preventative checkups—chasing vitality through effort. I’m also a mother of two, so staying healthy wasn’t just about me—it was about showing up for my family and my career. But instead of feeling restored, I felt more overwhelmed. Self-care became another thing to manage. And with a career in the travel industry, constantly on the go, I couldn’t keep up. Despite doing all the “right” things, I was running on empty—mentally and physically.
Eventually, I realized I didn’t need more hustle in my health—I needed relief & restoration. I needed something that could meet me where I was: busy, burned out, and spread thin. That’s when I found wellness technology that actually helped me feel better—It was a completely different way of supporting my health—and it worked. Wellness tools that helped me recharge, refocus, and recover—without demanding a ton of effort. I can feel the vitality, the “aliveness”, that I used to feel when I was younger and it feels so good!
And that’s why I started Modern Health Collective…to bring these tools to the people and places that need them most—corporate teams, luxury hotels and resorts, sports teams, wellness centers & spas, medical clinics, forward-thinking doctors and gifting companies. We curate premium, science-backed devices that make a real difference: better energy, calmer minds, stronger bodies, longer-lasting vitality.
Because when you feel good, you lead better. You parent better. You live better. And that kind of health? It’s worth building a business around.
