Physician Coaching & Retreats
with Dr. Jessie Mahoney
What is offered at Pause & Presence is potent medicine for women in medicine
Your next 10 years do not have to include the same struggles as your last.
If you want to stop overfunctioning, sacrificing your well-being, and feeling disconnected from what matters most, you are in the right place.
This is not one more thing to do or one more strategy to try. It is a different way of living and leading.
I blend mindfulness, coaching, nervous system healing, and years of physician wellness experience to help physicians feel more calm, more connected, and more at home in their lives.
This work creates meaningful change — not just at work, but in your relationships, your leadership, and the way your life feels inside and out.

I am Dr. Jessie Mahoney
“Jessie is amazing! As a fellow female physician, she understands the unique challenges we face daily. Her group sessions and one-on-one coaching are THE antidote to burnout. I recommend her to anyone looking to make a change or wanting to flourish in their current situation. It is worth the investment!”
- Dr. Julie Martino, ER MD
“Revelatory” and “Life Changing”
As a woman physician with limited time and energy, you want someone who is highly skilled, deeply experienced, wise, and nurturing.
You want someone who gets you and gets it.
Coaching and physician wellness are not my side gig. They are my full-time work.
In 2002, I was one of the very first physician wellness leaders. In 2018, I became one of the first physician coaches.
I offer high-touch 1:1 coaching, small-group coaching, transformative CME retreats, programs for teams and institutions, and keynote talks that change both conversations and culture.

Are you successful on the surface but struggling underneath?
Ten years ago, despite outward success, I was exhausted by over-responsibility, fixing, and worry.
The tools I found changed my life, my relationships, and the way I lead.
What I share at Pause & Presence comes from that transformation — and from years of helping other physicians create meaningful change of their own.
