"Working with Jessie during this time has been one of the best decisions I've made professionally. She is simply amazing.”
Why wait for things to get better when you can make them better right now?
After twenty years of working on wellness for a large healthcare organization, I can confidently say that mindfulness and mindset work is the one intervention that actually changes our experience in the long term.
Numerous randomized controlled studies confirm this.
In training, we were taught specific ways of thinking that helped us make it through. These exact thought patterns make it harder for us to have sustainable, satisfying, and healthy careers, relationships, and lives. They lead to over-functioning, over-responsibility, overgiving, over-functioning, and overwhelm.
When you work with me, you become aware of the costliness of your habitual ways. I help you “untrain” your brain of these “expensive” ways of moving through the world.
The result is clarity and a more fulfilled, healthier, and happier path forward.
“Coaching doesn’t even begin to explain the fascinating transformation. Jessie is phenomenal.” - Dr. Susan

“The way Jessie communicates helps you understand the root of your issues and frustrations and makes solutions and changes feel simple to implement. “ - Critical Care MD
Would you like to stop spinning your wheels and slogging through?
Wherever you are I can help you take aligned action.
I understand the emotional exhaustion, resentment, and confusion that grows when we have demanding careers, parenting responsibilities, intimate partners, and aging parents.
If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, reactivity, or feeling isolated or stuck, you are not alone.
There is a way out and forward.

FAQ’s
What is different about working with me as opposed to the many other coaches out there?
I am an experienced and highly-trained coach who gets results.
Coaching is not my side gig. It's my full-time job. Since 2020, I have coached well over a thousand successful people just like you.
I take my craft seriously.
I have invested more money into my coach training than I did for my medical training. Just like medicine, being a great coach requires lifelong learning. In addition to my three coaching certifications- Martha Beck's, Wayfarer Coach Training and The Life Coach School Coach and Master Coach Training- I bring my Ivy League psychology degree, my UCSF medical degree, and yoga and mindfulness training to all of my coaching.
Coaching is a way to optimize human performance. A sophisticated understanding of neuroscience, physiology, and psychology is critical for achieving transformational and sustainable results.
As a high-achiever myself, I understand the problems of those who are successful on the surface yet struggling underneath.
I understand how we were trained to think, what was required to get where we are, and the negative costs of continuing these habits and thinking patterns.
I bring a deep wisdom and lived experience to my coaching.
20+ years as a pediatrician working with parents and the complexities of families in both hospitals and clinics.
18 years of physician leadership with one of the largest medical organizations in the country. I have been a physician wellness leader since 2003. I am not simply jumping on the cure burnout bandwagon. I have been an operational leader my entire career. My roles ranged from site chief, assistant chief, module lead, and parent advisory committee leader, to name a few.
I have also been an educator. As a volunteer clinical professor at UCSF, I taught medical students and residents for over 20 years.
I am a mom of three young adults, a mother-in-law, a new grandma, and the daughter of aging parents. I have also successfully navigated a neurodiverse marriage for 31 years.
I have worked with my own coaches for over eight years.
Coaching got me where I am today and keeps me moving toward my highest, wisest, and happiest self.
When you sign up to coach with me, you get me, and only me.
I don't subcontract out my clients to other coaches. I don't rely on pre-recorded lectures or "modules". I don't have a "team" who fills in for me. I answer your emails myself.
I am not trying to maximize my personal profit at your expense. I know your time is valuable. I want you to get what you need efficiently and I want those changes to last.
My coaching groups are intimate and nurturing experiences - on purpose.
I have been running small group programs since 2021. Small and personalized is my style. I believe in personal attention and human connection with everyone I work with.
My "niche" is YOU.
I offer high-touch, high-value, nurturing, mindful, creative coaching for your entire being. You are a complex, multi-dimensional human.
My employer has HR/EAP "coaching" that is less expensive than working with you. Why is working with you worth it?
Your results depend highly on the training, experience, and quality of the coach you work with. Your time is extremely valuable and the stakes are high. Ineffective coaching is much more costly in the long run--even when that coaching was "free." When you coach with me, you get what you pay for.
Coaching with me is 100% confidential and completely separate from your employment. Your employer will never know anything discussed during our coaching sessions, or even that you are being coached.
The type of coaching offered also matters. It's worth clarifying if it is wellness coaching, mindset coaching, charting coaching, efficiency coaching, or leadership coaching.
Do I contract with any HR coaching companies?
No. Contract coaches are generally new coaches or coaches who are unable to and/or don't want to maintain successful coaching practices.
Do I coach men?
Yes, I coach everyone. As a physician wellness lead, I have successfully worked with both men and women on wellness and mindset for years. As the mom of three young adults, the sister of two brothers, and the wife of a neurodivergent (male) spouse, I am an expert on the unique challenges males face.
Do I coach non-doctors?
Yes. I mostly coach doctors because I am one, but I love the variety of working with high-achieving professionals of all types.
If coaching works for physicians working in healthcare today, it will help you.
