Our methods are created by burnout experts

Our founding team is made up of a psychologist and entrepreneur who overcame burnout together, and subsequently both became burnout coaches.

Bonsai is the outcome of years of academic research, coaching practice, and firsthand experience guiding people through burnout prevention and recovery.

With firsthand burnout experience

After burning and subsequently finding a more sustainable way forward in work and life, Bonsai Co-Founder Gabe decided to share his personal story and experience with burnout and also Quarter-Life Crisis. His book includes research on the science and psychology, key learnings, and recommendations for others navigating these difficult life experiences.

Our 3 E’s

Evaluation: complete a burnout assessment.

Through thoughtful self-assessments, Bonsai helps you explore where you stand in relation to burnout — not as a diagnosis, but as an invitation to awareness. You’ll discover what’s currently draining your energy, which inner strengths you may be overlooking, and how different areas of life may be out of sync.

Education: understand burnout.

With accessible lessons in text, audio, and video form, Bonsai offers empowering knowledge about burnout — including its deeper causes, systemic influences, and personal dynamics. It’s not just about “fixing” symptoms, but about understanding the bigger picture of what your experience might be telling you.

Empowerment: understand what you can do.

Bonsai provides personalized guidance with specific, manageable recommendations. These small, life-affirming steps are designed to support realignment with what matters most to you, helping you restore balance, vitality, and self-trust at your own pace. Bonsai is empowering you to make the changes needed.
