My Vision

Welcome to Stress Management Academy, where my mission is to empower you to navigate life’s complexities with resilience and grace. I believe in honest, grounded approaches—there are no quick fixes or miracle cures here. My coaching and courses are not about reinventing the wheel but about sharing the wealth of knowledge I’ve gathered from my own lived experiences, education, and expertise.

I have a special place in my heart for women who strive to excel in every role—mom, partner, professional, friend, sister, daughter—yet often feel overwhelmed by the pressure. We’ve been told we can have it all, but we weren’t handed a blueprint for managing the stress and expectations. The tools and strategies I teach are out there on the internet, but finding and piecing them together is time-consuming and daunting. That’s where I come in. 

With a background that includes roles such as being a college professor of psychology, becoming a published author, and being recognized in prestigious writing competitions, my journey has been one of continuous growth, learning, and commitment to making a difference.

In 2021, I dedicated myself full-time to building LJB Counseling and Coaching Services and transforming it into what it has become today. LJB Stress Management Academy. I also extend my expertise through contract work with Northern Counseling Therapeutic Services, supporting communities and schools in small Northern communities.

At Stress Management Academy, we embrace the reality of life’s ups and downs. My approach is comprehensive and rooted in the challenges and triumphs of my own journey. Together, we will discover practical tools and practices to help you manage stress, maintain balance, and truly live your best life. Let’s embark on this journey together.

Here, you’ll find a variety of support tailored to your needs, including one-on-one coaching, interactive webinars, and comprehensive courses. We also offer a membership option, providing you with exclusive access to monthly resources and articles designed to help you stay informed and empowered. Join our community and discover the tools and support you need to manage your stress, feel and become healthier, regulate your emotions and find your stride!
