Creator of The A.R.C. Protocol™
Evidence-based burnout recovery for high-performing professionals.
Reclaim your energy. Rebuild your resilience. Reignite your life.
The specialist who understands
what you're going through
I'm Kevin Verpoorten — a Stress & Burnout Recovery Specialist based in Belgium, working with high-performing professionals across the United States and beyond.
My approach is different. Trained at Harvard Medical School in psychiatric management and certified in both stress/burnout recovery and life coaching, I combine clinical precision with a deeply human, holistic perspective.
Where American hustle culture tells you to push harder, I offer a European counter-narrative: sustainable performance through genuine recovery. Not quick fixes. Not motivational platitudes. A structured, evidence-based protocol that addresses the root causes of your burnout — not just the symptoms.
"Recovery is not weakness. It is the most strategic decision a high-performer can make."
Burnout doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates.
You didn't choose burnout. It chose you — through years of overcommitment, chronic stress, and a culture that rewards exhaustion. You've been told to "push through," to "be resilient," to "hustle harder." But your nervous system is keeping score.
From chaos to clarity — the transformation is possible.
The A.R.C. Protocol™
Adaptive Recovery Cycle
A proprietary, three-phase framework designed to take you from burnout to breakthrough. Not a quick fix — a systematic, evidence-based protocol that rewires your relationship with stress at the neurological level.
Awareness
Understand where you are
Through structured assessment and deep self-inquiry, we map the exact landscape of your burnout. Using the Life Wheel, Logical Levels Model, and the Gleicher Formula, we identify not just what's broken — but why.
Regulation
Reset your nervous system
Grounded in Polyvagal Theory and somatic practices, you learn to shift your nervous system from survival mode to safety. Breathwork, grounding techniques, and cognitive reframing become your daily tools for recalibration.
Catalyze
Build lasting resilience
Recovery isn't the destination — it's the launchpad. Using the Van Knoster framework and Atomic Habits principles, we architect a structurally resilient life that prevents relapse and fuels sustainable high performance.
How we work
together
A structured, four-step journey from initial consultation to lasting transformation. Every step is designed with precision and care.

What clients say
Kevin's approach is unlike anything I've experienced. He doesn't just listen — he sees patterns you can't see yourself. Three months in, and I feel like a different person.
Sarah M.
VP of Operations, Tech Startup
San Francisco, CA
I was skeptical about working with someone overseas. That skepticism lasted about 10 minutes into our first call. Kevin's European perspective was exactly what I needed to break free from the burnout cycle.
James T.
Senior Partner, Law Firm
New York, NY
The A.R.C. Protocol gave me a framework I could actually follow. Not vague advice — a real, structured path back to myself. I wish I'd found Kevin sooner.
