Mindful Physician Coaching

“My coaching investments are as important as my med school investment. It is that good!”

Harness the power of your mind

Professional athletes have coaches. Physicians need them too.

Our minds are our most valuable asset. Coaching helps us manage them well so they work for us rather than against us.

Mindful coaching empowers physicians with actionable tools and strategies that are essential to creating a satisfying, sustainable, and impactful career and life.

Find quick relief from exhaustion, burnout, and cynicism. Optimize your performance, your potential, and your health and happiness.

“If you are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and unfulfilled, working with Jessie can help bring clarity and help manage your emotions so that you can move forward in a productive way.” - Physician Leader, AFM MD, TPMG

Whatever you are struggling with, mindful coaching will help you find your way efficiently and effectively

Figure out how to stay at your current job and enjoy it, find a new more fulfilling role within medicine, or pivot into something completely new.

Learn to struggle less in intimate relationships and parenting.

Coaching helps you show up as the best version of yourself - for yourself, those you love, and those you care for

“I am so fortunate to have crossed paths with Jessie at a time when I felt both professionally and personally burnt-out.
She helped me to overcome the feelings of overwhelm and helplessness, to be present, find joy in small moments, the positive in every situation, and even calm in the chaos of everyday life.” - Dermatologist
