Go from barely surviving to fully alive in 4 months.
Calm your nervous system and finally break free from the patterns that keep you in burnout.
You were never meant to live like this. Underneath everything the world told you to be, the wild, alive version of you is still there, waiting to be free.
Hey, it’s Laurel.
Before you read anything else, take one breath with me. In through your nose… and a long, slow exhale out. There. That might be the first full breath you’ve taken today.
If what you read below sounds like your life, I’ll invite you to book a free clarity call with me. On that call, we’ll talk about where you are and where you want to be, and I’ll tell you honestly whether I think I can help.

Laurel Van Woerkom
Rewilding Guide & Hypnotherapist
It’s not a scheduling problem.
I spent a decade in advertising, delivering success for clients, bosses, and everyone around me. It cost me my health, my happiness, and my most important relationship. I survived the way most of us do: I partied on the weekends, shopped when the week got too heavy, and told myself it would ease up after the next deadline.
It didn’t. At 29, I walked away.
I spent the next eight years traveling the world and building a life on my own terms, and I learned that you don’t have to quit your job and move across the world to feel alive again. (I did it so you don’t have to.) What actually changed me was learning to regulate my own nervous system, feel my emotions instead of numbing them, and rewire the old stories that had been running my life since childhood.
I’ve been coaching for 6 years now, and I’ve guided 50 people through burnout and back to themselves. Designers, federal employees, founders, coaches, sales agents: people who appear to be functioning on the outside and are running on fumes underneath.
One of them, an entrepreneur who used to check email before he’d even made his coffee, told me two months into our work together: “I’m so fucking zen.” He was incredulous. Just two months earlier, he’d been completely strung out. Now his grandmother was in hospice, he’d just lost a big client, and he was surprisingly calm, despite it all.
I only work with 8 people at a time, so I’m looking for a real fit.
- Want a productivity hack so you can squeeze even more out of an already empty tank.
- Are looking for someone to tell you what to do instead of helping you remember who you are.
- Aren’t willing to slow down and actually feel what you’ve been pushing down.
- Dread opening your laptop, but check your email before you’ve even had coffee.
- Keep telling yourself “just get through these next two weeks,” and it’s been two years.
- Have taken vacations, tried therapy, used habit trackers, maybe even quit your job, and still feel stuck and overwhelmed.
- Are ready to stop serving everyone else at your own expense and bring something uniquely yours to the world.
The Rewilding Path
16 weekly 1:1 sessions engineered to transition you from survival mode and burnout to calm, embodied freedom.
Root · Nervous System Regulation
“You can’t imagine a better future while all your energy is going towards survival.”
We start by mapping your survival mode: whether you fight, flee, freeze, or fawn when life gets overwhelming, and what each is costing you. Then we build your Resourcing Ladder (from Level 1 “barely functional” to Level 3 “daily maintenance”), so you always have tools at your desk or home. You’ll write and record your Five Senses Future Self to guide your mornings and nights.
Release · Emotional Processing
“Years of pushing through have left a backlog of emotion stored in your body. This month, we clear it.”
You’ll pinpoint what actually triggers you and how your body responds. Then learn to move emotion through breath, shaking, voice, somatic movement, and tapping instead of suppressing it or turning to numbing habits. The 5-Minute Release becomes your daily anywhere-reset whenever pressure begins to mount.
Rewire · Subconscious Reprogramming
“We go after the beliefs underneath the burnout: ‘rest has to be earned’ and ‘if I slow down, everything falls apart.’”
Meet the inner protectors driving overwork and panic, and let your Internal CEO take the wheel. We rewire conditioned language (“I have to” becomes “I get to”), practice boundary work with a simple rule (if it’s not a fuck yes, it’s a no), and close each day with an evening review instead of lying awake replaying the day.
Rewild · Integration & Embodiment
“This is where you stop working on yourself and start living as yourself.”
Start living your values every day on purpose. We create a daily rhythm tailored to your life with scheduled Recess for play and creativity, and rest that never has to be earned. You’ll refresh your Five Senses Future Self visualization, build an anti-burnout maintenance plan, and step permanently beyond performance.
“The identity shift is this: you stop performing the life you were told to want, and start living as the person you actually are.”
You’ll go from dreading your laptop, fighting fires until you forget to eat, and numbing out every night, to drinking your morning coffee while the inbox waits, leaving work at work, and laughing at dinner again.
“I’m so fucking zen. Just two months ago I was completely strung out. Now my grandmother is in hospice, I just lost a big client, and I am surprisingly calm despite it all.”
