Come Home to Yourself

Presence, not perfection

You wake up already feeling the weight of the day on you.

Maybe you’re pushing hard toward the next goal, because achievement is where you feel most like yourself. Rest feels wrong, as if you’re falling behind if you’re not constantly moving ahead.

Or maybe you say yes when you’re already stretched thin, trying to take care of everyone else while ignoring your own needs. Perhaps it’s the constant loop in your head, overanalyzing, second-guessing, perfecting, until even small decisions feel monumental.

You’ve been carrying more than your body and mind can sustain, yet you keep on showing up. Inside, the toll keeps rising: emotional exhaustion that won’t lift, tension that sleep doesn’t ease, and the quiet fear that nothing you do will ever be enough. Somewhere underneath, you know you can’t go on like this. 



You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Together, we’ll untangle the patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of chronic stress and anxiety, moving from survival mode into ease and clarity. This is where you can lay it down and begin to build a life that restores steadiness, rebuilds self-trust, and opens space for joy and fulfillment.

Hi, I am Jo Liu

I’m a trauma-informed burnout coach and mindfulness coach in NYC, supporting clients online. I offer burnout help that addresses both the symptoms and deeper patterns: overriding your own needs, tying your identity to work, and losing touch with yourself.

No two burnouts look the same. For some, it shows up as self-criticism or perfectionism: fear of falling short drives them to push long past their limits. For others, it is impostor syndrome or self-doubt that drives overachieving in search of worth. It can also look like compassion fatigue from caring for others at your own expense, or emotional numbness after years of being on without pause.

My process is collaborative, not top-down. We work with your specific pattern to restore balance, rebuild self-trust, and support lasting emotional healing.


Jo Liu - Burnout Coach and Mindfulness Coach

You are not a project to fix.
This work meets you 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 presence, compassion, and equanimity.

How we work together

For those ready to step out of survival mode and come home to themselves

Inner Return

A 3-month container • 12 weekly Zoom sessions

This work is about building the trust to hear yourself again, so you can move through burnout, manage stress, and return to yourself.

We focus on two essential components:

• Inner work: building emotional safety, self-trust, and inner-worth, so your choices align with your values.
Practical daily tools: simple practices for stress management and nervous system regulation, so you can steady yourself when life feels heavy.

The result is more than temporary relief. You gain the capacity and clarity to live in ways that sustain your energy, restore balance, and protect your well-being.

Healing tools

The tools I use are experiential, supporting different aspects of self-connection, whether that’s quieting mental noise, deepening self-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.
