Thoughtful Conversations on Wellness, Leadership & Culture That Inform and Inspire

I'm a known speaker delivering thoughtful, science-backed insights on well-being, leadership, and the future of mental and organizational health. I bring clarity and depth to complex topics—bridging behavioral science, lived experience, and holistic frameworks to engage and inspire diverse audiences.

My speaking engagements include keynotes, panels, podcasts, and moderated conversations, tailored for conferences, organizations, academic institutions, community events, and beyond. My talks are grounded, practical, and human—offering actionable tools alongside big-picture perspective.

Common themes include nervous system health, sustainable leadership, founder mental health, organizational culture, behavioral health equity, and nature-based approaches to well-being. Whether addressing executive leaders, founders, or the broader public, I create conversations that are accessible, data-informed, and rooted in real-world application.  Each engagement is thoughtfully customized to the audience and context, ensuring relevance, resonance, and lasting impact.

Perfect for:
Conferences and summits, leadership teams and executive retreats, founder and innovation communities, organizations focused on employee well-being and culture, academic institutions, and media conversations centered on mental health, leadership, and the future of work.

“I’m not new to this type of instruction, and or any of the themes that were discussed in our workshop, but it was really nice to have a more structured discussion with like-minded individuals, and to share and discuss things that maybe I’ve had trouble with or that I think I can improve on. I really liked the merch we were given– the pamphlets have been helpful in my everyday life since I’ve done the workshop, and I think I will continue to share and use the resources I was given.”

Loved this session over lunch. I particularly was having a stressful day and listening to Zulma explain the different ways we can calm down our nervous system, and sharing this time with other Latinas whom may be experiencing similar stressors was priceless.

Being able to do a leadership / mental health workshop out in nature is a dream come true! Zulma is an amazing facilitator and I really appreciated that she customized the workshop to our group's needs. I really loved the emotion wheel handout, having that as a visual was a great touch!
