The Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™

A Capacity-First Approach to Lasting Change

You’ve been taught to rely on willpower.

To push harder.
Be more disciplined.
Override your body.

And when that doesn’t work— to believe the problem is you.

But the truth is: forced change was never designed to last.

Real, lasting change requires something deeper: capacity.

All of my services are grounded in the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™—
a neuroscience-informed, capacity-first approach to sustainable well-being.

Instead of fighting your biology, we focus on strengthening the internal capacity needed to support healing, recovery, and meaningful change, so the life you’re working toward, is one you can actually sustain.

Ways We Can Work Together

Capacity-first consulting for organizations, teams and communities seeking sustainable change.

Keynotes and talks that change how people understand change.

1:1 psychotherapy for sustainable growth and positive behaviour changes, tailored to your unique journey.

Interactive, evidence-based training grounded in the framework.

Capacity-Building Support for Real Life Change

As a Registered Nurse providing psychotherapy, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to support your mental health and well-being. I use proven therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills, and my work is grounded in the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™, a capacity-first approach that helps you stabilize, understand, and move forward in a way that feels safe, sustainable and self-trusting. Together, we focus on building the internal capacity you need to make positive, sustainable behaviour changes last.

Clinical Specializations

1. Disordered Eating & Eating Disorder Recovery (CBT-E) I provide specialized, evidence-based support for those healing their relationship with food and their bodies. Utilizing Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-E)—the gold standard for eating disorder recovery—we work to stabilize your biology, deconstruct the "Never Enough" narrative, and rebuild a foundation of sustainable body trust.

2. Reproductive, Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health The transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, and the early years of parenting are some of the most demanding seasons a woman will ever face. I help mothers navigate these profound shifts, reclaiming their agency and building the capacity to parent from a place of regulation rather than depletion.

3. Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Body image & Sustainable Behaviour Change For the woman who is tired of being everything to everyone else. We focus on strengthening your internal infrastructure, helping you set boundaries that actually hold, and aligning your daily actions with your true values.

The Evidence-Based Toolkit

Your journey is unique, but your care should be grounded in what works. My clinical practice integrates:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Problem-focused and goal-oriented sessions that teach strategies and skills for becoming and staying healthy.

• CBT-E: Specialized CBT therapy for eating disorders.

• DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy): Building the skills to regulate emotions and navigate distress.

• Neuroscience-Backed Resilience: Understanding your nervous system to make change feel safe.

• The Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™: A six-pillar model for sustainable, holistic health.

Why Work With a Nurse Psychotherapist?

As a Registered Nurse with a Master of Science, I bring a unique perspective that bridges the gap between your physical health and your mental well-being. I understand that your mind and body are not separate; your recovery depends on a system that supports both.

"Change is not a matter of grit. It is a matter of building a foundation strong enough to hold the life you want to lead."

Building Capacity at the System Level

This exact same necessity for internal infrastructure applies on a systemic level. The Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™ doesn't just rebuild individual resilience and capacity; it is the blueprint for creating healthy, adaptable and high performance teams.

Most organizations don’t have a motivation problem. They have a capacity problem.

Teams are asked to perform, adapt, and sustain change in environments that quietly deplete the very resources required to do so. The result isn’t a lack of effort—it’s burnout, inconsistency, and diminishing returns.

Jamie partners with organizations to shift this pattern at its root.

Drawing from clinical expertise in behaviour change, nervous system regulation, and performance under stress, she helps organizations understand why traditional approaches to productivity, wellness, and change management fall short—and what actually works instead.

This is not about asking people to do more. It’s about building the conditions that make sustainable performance possible.

Areas of Focus

• Burnout & Capacity Recovery Moving beyond surface-level wellness strategies to address the underlying drivers of chronic depletion and disengagement.

• Sustainable Performance Helping teams maintain consistency, focus, and follow-through—even in high-demand environments.

• Behaviour Change That Lasts Applying the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™ to embed change at an individual and organizational level.

• Women in Leadership & High-Demand Life Stages Supporting performance and well-being across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and caregiving transitions.

What This Work Creates

• Teams that can sustain performance without burning out

• Leaders who understand how to work with human biology, not against it

• Organizational cultures that support follow-through, not just intention

Speaking & Keynotes

From Willpower to Capacity: A New Model for Sustainable Change

Most audiences aren’t struggling because they lack discipline. They’re exhausted from trying to sustain change in systems that don’t support it.

Jamie delivers a powerful, neuroscience-informed shift away from burnout culture—helping audiences understand why they keep starting over, and what it actually takes to create change that lasts. As a Registered Nurse and Psychotherapist, she bridges clinical science with real life, translating complex concepts into practical, immediately usable insights.

Her talks don’t just motivate. They rewire how people understand change.

Signature Keynote: The Willpower Trap

The Big Idea

Willpower isn’t the problem, and it was never the solution. When capacity is low, biology will always override intention.

The Takeaway

An introduction to the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™ and a clear, actionable roadmap for building the capacity to follow through—especially in high-demand, high-stress seasons of life.

Ideal For Organizations and Audiences Navigating:

• Burnout, high stress, and performance pressure

• Women’s leadership and high-demand life transitions

• Health, behaviour change, and sustainable well-being

From Insight to Action: Mastering the 6 Pillars

Information alone does not create change. Integration does. Jamie’s workshops are designed to move participants from "knowing what to do" to "having the capacity to do it."

Through interactive, evidence-based sessions, participants dive into the Resilience-Inspired Action Framework™ to identify exactly where their "internal infrastructure" needs strengthening. These sessions are experiential, high-impact, and tailored to the unique pressures facing women today.

Workshop Focus Areas:

• Building Body Trust: Deconstructing appearance-based anxiety and reclaiming embodied confidence.

• Sustainable Habit Design: Moving beyond "Monday morning" resolutions to create habits that honour the nervous system.

• Resilient Transitions: Practical tools for navigating the reproductive years, pregnancy, and the complexities of parenting.

Participants learn how to

• Assess foundational capacity gaps.
• Identify why past efforts collapsed.
• Sequence change strategically.
• Build habits that are supported, not forced.
• Develop systems that prevent burnout and relapse.

Available as

• Half-Day Intensives: A deep dive into the six pillars of resilience.

• Professional Development: Training for clinicians and educators on applying a capacity-first lens to their work.
