Executive Burnout & Stress Regulation Coach | Holistic Sensei
Science-backed somatic coaching to recalibrate your nervous system and restore sustainable vitality.
Chronic stress, brain fog, and physical exhaustion are not personality flaws or signs of weakness: they are physiological signals that your nervous system has been running on overdrive for too long. Holistic Sensei™ works with executives, leaders, and high performers to reverse burnout at the biological level, not manage it, not cope with it, but dismantle it.
ABOUT YOUR GUIDE
Seta Lerma — Founder, Holistic Sensei™
Executive Burnout Coach | Somatic Nervous System Specialist | Martial Arts Master
Most burnout recovery programs ask you to think your way out of a physiological problem. That approach has limits — and I know exactly where they are.
In 2005 I began training in Liu He Ba Fa (Water Boxing), one of the most sophisticated internal martial arts systems in existence, developed over 21 years of dedicated practice and 9 years of teaching. Then, without warning, a high-speed collision changed everything — leaving my child, my husband, and me with concussions, neurological symptoms, and acute trauma responses. I was running a martial arts center, homeschooling our child, and holding our household together while my own nervous system was in crisis.
My neurologist's prescription wasn't a medication. It was to deepen my somatic practice.
That turning point confirmed what I had been training toward for years: genuine recovery from chronic stress and trauma requires internal, body-first regulation — not willpower, not reframing, not pushing through. I integrated 21 years of internal martial arts (Liu He Ba Fa and Tai Chi) with my background in Family and Consumer Science: the applied science of nutrition, sleep architecture, environmental design, and sustainable habit formation, and rebuilt my health from the inside out.
Today I work with corporate executives, founders, and senior leaders across the US, Europe, and beyond, helping them escape chronic burnout and restore the physiological baseline that makes real leadership possible.

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.

Science-backed somatic coaching to recalibrate your nervous system and restore sustainable vitality
Single Somatic Intensive: 60-Minute Standalone Session
A high-impact diagnostic and regulation session for clients who need an immediate physiological reset or an introductory entry point before committing to a multi-month container.
Format: 60 minutes focused on autonomic assessment, guided somatic tension unwinding, and a customized self-regulation action plan.
Follow-Up Support: 7 days of post-session async voice/text support to help integrate the practices into daily work and home routines.
Investment: $225 (can be credited toward a 12-week or 24-week package if enrolled within 14 days)
Recalibrate: Somatic Stress Reset 1-Month
A focused 4-week container designed to interrupt chronic autonomic overwhelm, release acute physical tension armor, and build direct nervous system regulation into your daily life.
Autonomic Intake & Stress Mapping
Identify active survival patterns (fight, flight, freeze), map physical bracing, and establish baseline physiological anchors for sleep, biological capacity, and stress tolerance.Hands-On Recalibration & Down-Regulation
Implement body-first intervention tools—targeted breath mechanics, vagal nerve stimulation, and neuromuscular release—to discharge high activation in real time.Biological Recovery & Friction Reduction
Align daily rhythms with your body's current capacity. Adjust micro-recovery habits, gentle movement, and environmental stressors to halt adrenal and nervous system drain.Integration & Personal Maintenance Protocol
Consolidate your personalized somatic drills into an efficient, repeatable daily routine that protects against regression into burnout.
Program Inclusions
4 Private Sessions (60 Minutes): Deep somatic evaluation, physical release drills, and lifestyle recalibration.
Continuous Between-Session Support: Mon–Fri voice and text access (Voxer/WhatsApp) for real-time stress interception and check-ins.
Custom Protocol Notes: Step-by-step recaps, somatic movement cues, and lifestyle action steps after each session.
Investment: $850 (completed within 30–45 days; reflects high-touch intake and weekly async support)
Flourish: 12-Week Somatic Reset & Integration
