Are you a healthcare worker running on empty?
This free self-assessment was written for people who are tired in a way that rest doesn't fix.
As Seen In
What's inside the assessment
Not a wellness checklist. A nervous-system-informed tool written for the specific reality of healthcare work.
01
The Self-Assessment
Twelve questions that help you understand what's actually happening in your nervous system. Not as a diagnosis. As information. Because naming it honestly is where everything else begins.
02
Your Nervous System Explained
A plain-language breakdown of why you might feel wired and exhausted at the same time, or numb when you used to feel everything. This is not about resilience. It is about physiology.
03
One Tool You Can Use Right Now
A single evidence-based practice you can use in under two minutes, anywhere, that directly interrupts your stress response. Cited research included. No apps, no equipment, no prior experience required.
Who wrote this and why it matters
I'm Zoe Stratis, a counsellor, coach, and educator based in BC.
My understanding of burnout in healthcare didn't come from a textbook. It came from watching my close friend, who is a midwife, carry the weight of professional grief with nowhere to put it. It came from walking into hospital after hospital to teach about perinatal loss and sitting with nurses, physicians, social workers, and allied health teams who were holding death, trauma, and moral injury as part of their daily work. I got a front row seat that most people never see. I watched what it costs to care inside systems that were never designed to support the people working within them. That's why I built this work.
I saw what it costs healthcare workers to hold death, grief, and trauma day after day with nowhere to put it. I saw how the system asks them to keep going without ever asking how they are. I saw burnout that had nothing to do with resilience and everything to do with moral injury, cumulative loss, and a body that had simply run out of resources.
That experience is why I built this work. Not from theory. From watching people I respect quietly fall apart inside systems that were never designed to hold them.
I have since delivered training on perinatal loss and burnout at Sechelt Hospital, qathet Hospital, Squamish Hospital, HOPE Centre at Lions Gate Hospital, and the Butterfly Support Network. I am speaking at the Rural Health Conference in Prince George in May 2026.
This assessment was written for the people I have been sitting with for years. You are not broken. You are responding to an impossible amount.

Begin Here
You didn't get here because you're weak.
You got here because you've been giving from a system that was never adequately replenished. This assessment won't fix that. But it will help you understand what's actually happening in your body and your work. And that's where everything else begins.
