I spent my early career on the CME trading floor hedging Eurodollar options trades where hesitation costs millions. Split-second decisions. No room for second-guessing. I learned to trust my internal signals or get destroyed.
Then mid-management recruiting—reading people, navigating corporate politics, watching how external pressure drives most decisions. Then launching a product into Whole Foods Market—building, scaling, and eventually walking away to raise my kids.
I learned what high performance actually costs. And what it takes to sustain it without burning out.
The shift
In 2001, everything changed. My 4-year-old daughter was sick for 10 straight months—croup, ear infections, one antibiotic after another. When her pediatrician wanted to put tubes in her ears, I found answers elsewhere.
Within days—DAYS—of food adjustments, she was better. And so was I.
I didn’t even know I wasn’t well. I thought waking up foggy and exhausted was normal. I’d been on Claritin and Flonase for years. Three months after changing how I ate, I woke up clear-headed and light for the first time in years.
That’s when I started the 20-year study: Kundalini yoga, Ayurvedic protocols, nervous system regulation. Not as escape from high performance, but as the foundation for it.
What I discovered: The same internal authority that kept me sharp on the trading floor is what most high-achieving women have lost.
Now I help women restore the cognitive capacity their most important work depends on—so they can stop working until 9pm, stop snapping at their families, and start making decisions from clarity instead of crash.
That’s why my clients don’t just ‘feel better’—they perform better in the work that matters most. They stop working until 9pm on the wrong things. They make clearer decisions at 4pm. They reclaim 15-20 hours per week from fog and false urgency.
This includes:
Corporate executives
Entrepreneurs
Creatives
Solopreneurs
High-achieving moms
Anyone with stakes and standards
Here’s what happens when you restore cognitive capacity
(Names changed for privacy; all outcomes are real)
Susan, freelancer, creative professional:
Illness left her medicated and unable to work. Within 6 months of restoring her rhythm: off medications, writing for Rolling Stone and major publications. Career restored, health reclaimed.
Rachel, entrepreneur, non-profit founder:
Spent years teaching kids’ theater in a church basement, knew she had something bigger to build but couldn’t access it. Through our work together, she found her voice, raised millions in funding, built a team, and created a legacy organization that continues her work today.
Maria, registered nurse, high-level Mom:
Serious adrenal issues, struggling with her young son, barely functioning. Within 6 months: doctor confirmed dramatic improvement. “The only thing that changed,” she told me, “was working with you.” Health restored, family relationship transformed.
Jennifer, designer:
Woke with dread every morning despite a “successful” life. Within 90 days of working together: dread gone, clarity restored, daily peace.
What my clients say
“She’s downright bossy at times, but that’s what I needed. She holds you accountable for creating your life. No excuses.”
— Diane Rakocy, Artist & Educator
“Savitree helped me unearth personal blocks and taught me to work through them so I could keep building a successful business. Her 1:1 meetings get right to the core of things.”
— Margaret P., Business Owner
“I know that the practices you teach and the thoughts you share challenge me to approach my life and my work in ways that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. As someone who has a growth mindset, I’m always learning from you.”
— Julie Lambert, Doula & Entrepreneur
“I always need to read your content twice because it’s packed with information.”
— Reader
Why this works (and why most approaches don’t)
Most wellness coaches came from corporate burnout or personal health crises. They understand the crash, but not the performance that preceded it.
I understand both:
High-stakes decision-making (CME trading floor)
Strategic talent assessment (recruiting and corporate navigation)
Building and scaling (entrepreneurship)
Nervous system regulation (20 years Kundalini yoga, Ayurveda)
This combination is rare. I speak both languages: business and biology. Performance and regulation. The grind and what sustains you beyond it.
The mechanism is simple: one warm, on-time lunch that protects your afternoon cognitive capacity. The transformation is profound: internal authority that changes how you make every decision, every day.
