Chad Herst, MS, LAC, PCC is a coach, former licensed acupuncturist, and the author of The Performance Trap: The Ache No Success Will Ever Fix.

 
He trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, and mindfulness, earning degrees from Columbia and acupuncture school, before discovering his real gift was in how he listened. For 30+ years he's worked with high achievers, executives, and founders who look like they have it together while quietly being run by shame, anxiety, or the fear that if they stop, everything falls apart. His work blends somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and parts work to help people stop performing and start living in their own skin.
