Physician Coaching & Retreats
with Dr. Jessie Mahoney
“If you are burned out, tired, and needing coaching and reframing, Jessie is mind-blowingly amazing.” — Dr. Michele Knox, Ophthalmologist, TPMG
Pause & Presence offers potent medicine for women in medicine
Your next twenty years do not have to include the same struggles as your last. If you want to stop over functioning, sacrificing your well-being, and feeling disconnected from what matters most, you are in the right place.
Mindful coaching 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 in a uniquely helpful way that allows physicians to feel more calm, more connected, and alive.
It creates meaningful change — not just at work, but also in your relationships, your leadership, and the way your life feels - inside and out.
“Revelatory” and “Life Changing”
As a woman physician with limited time and energy, you want to work with 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.
”This was the very best thing I have gifted myself since becoming a physician. Hands down.”

Organizations I’ve worked with
Are you successful on the surface but struggling underneath?
Ten years ago, despite outward success, I was exhausted and struggling.
I was over-responsible, toxically independent, and always fixing, managing, and worrying.
I discovered tools that transformed my life, my relationships, and the way I lead, love, and live.
Pause & Presence was created to share these tools, and the wealth of wisdom I have gathered over two decades helping other physicians create meaningful change of their own.
