Reduce Burnout Risk and Stress-Driven Performance Decline.
The Cognitive Recovery Framework helps organizations improve regulation capacity, decision stability, and communication resilience under sustained pressure.
Integrated into leadership development, manager training, and team performance rhythms.
Most leadership and performance initiatives focus on cognition while ignoring the physiological patterns that drive stress reactivity, communication breakdown, and decision fatigue under pressure.
Lauren’s Cognitive Recovery Framework helps leaders and teams build regulation capacity, behavioral flexibility, and recovery resilience to improve communication stability, adaptive performance, and sustained effectiveness in high-demand environments.
Lauren Dike
Somatic Practitioner, Wellness Consultant,
Nervous System Specialist
My work is rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise. I’ve been the high performer who burned out. The only Black woman in the room who had to hold it all together. The leader who over-functioned because rest felt unsafe.
Through this work, I help people unlearn survival patterns and build the capacity to show up fully — without burning out or shutting down.
My approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and deeply human. And it's designed to leave you with tools you’ll actually use, long after our work together ends.
