CME-Eligible Small Group Coaching for Women Physicians

“I highly recommend group coaching for everyone. It’s completely transformative and worth every minute and every dollar. “

Intimate coaching communities for women physicians who want belonging, honest conversation, shared growth, and real change.

Group coaching offers the relief of being deeply understood by other like-minded women physicians, the power of shared experience, and the nourishment of community.

These are intimate, engaged coaching spaces where women physicians tell the truth, learn practical tools, and grow together.

Feel less isolated and alone, and normalize your struggles in community.

Enjoy deep connection and discover balance, equanimity, and buoyancy.

Why is group coaching so effective?

Most women physicians feel profoundly alone. Group coaching changes this.

In a small, well-held group, you hear other women share what you thought was a “you” problem.

You receive incisive coaching on your own situation, and you get to learn from others' coaching.

You get to practice new ways of thinking, communicating, choosing, and relating over time.

What Makes Pause & Presence Groups Different

  • These groups are intentionally very small — 10 women or fewer. There is space to be known, seen, coached, and supported.

  • These are not content-heavy courses where you sit quietly and consume information. They are coaching communities.

  • You are invited to reflect, participate, ask questions, receive coaching, support others, and practice new ways of showing up in every session.

  • There is enough structure to feel held and enough spaciousness for real honesty, connection, and transformation.

What women physicians say about Jessie’s small groups

“If I am still practicing medicine in another 10 years, much of it will be thanks to the work I have done with Jessie."

“Working with Jessie has been one of the best decisions I've made professionally. You learn things from talking about issues in a group that you wouldn't have learned on your own.”

What Can You Expect?

Each group includes live coaching, reflection, discussion, practical tools, and opportunities to learn from other women physicians' experiences.

These groups are interactive and engaging.

Everyone participates. There are no black boxes with names.

You leave with more than insight. You leave with language, practices, perspective, and a sense of belonging.

What women physicians say

“I’m so glad I took the plunge.  It was unreal how much you understood me without ‘knowing me’. So many pearls, aha moments, and moments of just feeling heard and understood.”

“I continue to marvel at how well you listen to everyone and how skillfully you coach with such depth of empathy, compassion, and genuineness.”

Small Group Coaching FAQ’s


Should I do group or 1:1 coaching or a retreat?

Group coaching is a beautiful fit when you want community, shared language, accountability, and the wisdom of being coached alongside other women physicians.

1:1 coaching is a better fit when what you are carrying feels especially private, complex, tender, urgent, or high-stakes.

A retreat is a better fit when you need to step away from the noise and experience coaching, mindfulness, yoga, nature, nourishment, and rest in person.

You do not have to know which is right before you reach out.

If you are unsure, schedule a consult and we will clarify the best next step together.

***Many physicians eventually choose both — because the combination is powerful — but you only need to start with one.

How big are the small groups?

All groups are 10 women or less. I intentionally keep my groups small. The size is but one reason they are incredible.

I can't make all the sessions, is that ok?

Yes. Ideally you will be able to attend at least 50% of the sessions live on Zoom so that you feel like an integral part of the group. In the event of conflicts, every session is recorded and available to those in the group.

What's the difference between the groups?

Transition Well

Pivot with grace, courage, and confidence. Empower yourself with a toolbox of strategies to manage change strategically and with ease. Learn to navigate uncertainty, life, relationships, and career pivots with grace, equanimity, and mindful intention.

Leading from the Heart

The world and medicine, especially, need great leaders. Heart-centered leadership coaching for those who want to enjoy work-life balance and lead sustainably, healthily, and effectively.
