Executive Stress Regulation & Burnout Recovery Coach
Science-informed somatic coaching to help executives and leaders retrain their stress response and restore sustainable energy
Chronic stress, brain fog and physical exhaustion aren’t personality flaws or signs of weakness. They are signals that your nervous system has been running on overdrive for too long. Holistic Sensei™ works with executives, founders and senior leaders to rebuild the body’s ability to shift out of stress mode and recover fully, so you can lead from steadiness, not strain.
A relaxed conversation about where you are and whether we’re a fit. No pressure.
ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Seta Lerma — Founder, Holistic Sensei™
Executive Burnout Coach | Somatic Nervous System Specialist | Internal Martial Arts Teacher (Liu He Ba Fa)
Most burnout programs ask you to think your way out of a problem your body is living in. I know where that approach reaches its limits.
I began training in Liu He Ba Fa (Water Boxing) in 2005 and have practiced it for 21 years and taught for 9. Then a high-speed collision changed everything. While running a martial arts center and homeschooling our child, I was recovering from concussions, neurological symptoms and acute stress responses. My neurologist’s advice was not a medication. It was to deepen my somatic practice.
That turning point confirmed what I’d been training toward for years: lasting recovery from chronic stress requires body-first regulation. I combined 21 years of internal martial arts (Liu He Ba Fa and Tai Chi) with my Family and Consumer Science background in nutrition, sleep, environment and habit formation, and rebuilt my health from the inside out.
Today I work with executives, founders and senior leaders across the US and Europe to rebuild the physical foundation that real leadership depends on. My coaching works alongside medical care, never instead of it.
What changes when you work with Holistic Sensei™
Nervous system regulation: learn practices that help you shift out of constant “on” mode and recover more fully, supporting calmer reactions and clearer thinking.
Restorative sleep and stamina: build routines that support deeper sleep and steadier energy, without relying on stimulants or quick fixes.
Stress-aware nutrition: eating habits that support digestion, focus and energy.
Low-tox lifestyle design: reduce everyday environmental stressors by swapping synthetic irritants for cleaner alternatives.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
You are not here because you lack drive. You are here because your body is finally asking you to lead differently.
This work is for you if you are a corporate executive, founder, or senior leader who:
Performs at a high level but wakes up exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get
Carries a mental load that never fully switches off, even on vacation
Notices your reactions getting sharper, your patience thinner, your clarity slower
Has tried the productivity hacks, the supplements, the meditation apps, and still feels like you're running on fumes
Understands that something physiological is happening, not just psychological, and wants to address it at that level
Operates across time zones, cultures, and high-stakes environments and needs a regulation system that travels with you
This is not for you if:
You are looking for a quick motivational reset
You are not ready to commit to a structured, body-first process
You expect results without consistent engagement between sessions
What makes this different:
Most stress coaching works top-down mindset first, body second. Holistic Sensei™ works bottom-up. By regulating the nervous system at the physiological level first, everything else: clarity, decision-making, emotional composure, sleep, energy, follows naturally. This is precision recovery for people who cannot afford to operate below their best.
Serving leaders virtually, worldwide.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area — clients across the US, Europe.
