Sunny Dulay | Founder & CEO of Breakthrough | Innovating at the Intersection of Wellness & Technology I believe that technology should empower, not overwhelm. As the Founder & CEO of Breakthrough, I’ve dedicated my career to helping wellness experts scale their impact through innovative, intuitive, and high-performing digital experiences.

That experience solidified my passion for staying ahead of the curve and creating solutions that drive real change. With a background spanning engineering, product management, design, and sales, I’ve worked across startups and unicorn companies, gaining the versatility to lead across multiple disciplines. But my real focus has always been on bridging the gap between technology and humanity. Technology should feel seamless, accessible, and empowering, and that’s exactly what we build at Breakthrough.

This includes auditing a client’s schedule, identifying “energy leaks,” and creating step by step routines that improve productivity, recovery, and focus in as little as 10 to 15 minutes per week of active effort. I collaborate with health and innovation partners and support clients across Canada and the United States, with an emphasis on evidence based strategies that are realistic for high performers who cannot pause their careers to work on their health. Through Flourish, I continue to refine a repeatable system that helps professionals build consistent energy, faster recovery, and promotion ready presence, all while protecting privacy and aligning with HIPAA and PIPEDA standards for data security.
