About Us

Who We Are

We are Marguerite and Malika, National Board Certified and Duke Health-trained Integrative Health Specialists with firsthand experience of the toll burnout takes on individuals, teams, and entire companies.

Malika holds a PhD in biology with published work in neurobiology and brings deep expertise from high-pressure academic research, biotech startups, and contract work in the pharmaceutical industry. Marguerite draws on a background in investment banking, corporate communications, and nonprofit organizing, with a deep understanding of the stressors embedded in high-demand environments.

Together, we combine science, strategy, and lived empathy to develop burnout prevention and recovery solutions that support both human well-being and organizational performance. We help companies invest in what matters most: their people, by building healthier work habits, stronger team dynamics, and a culture of sustainable success.

​WORKSHOPS BURNOUT PREVENTION AND RECOVERY

Why it works

​

Most burnout solutions address symptoms rather than the root cause. Our method combines habit-building science and coaching to rebuild well-being at the core.

We go beyond stress relief. We help your people understand themselves, make doable and lasting changes, creating sustainable well-being and an optimal corporate culture. Our approach brings health and humanity back at the heart of work.
