Coaching, Retreats & Workshops For Teams & Institutions
“Invaluable! I wish I had done this course a long time ago.”
Exactly What Your Team Needs
Are your physicians and clinicians emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, and burnt out?
Pause and Presence retreats, workshops, and virtual coaching programs are an opportunity to restore, heal, and grow — collectively and as individuals.
They are an investment in rebuilding community, collegiality, optimism, and hope.
Fulfillment and engagement follow. As does improved performance, productivity, and retention.
“I can personally attest that as a Family Medicine physician and co-director of Primary Care as well as a mom of two young kids, with a commute, and a partner who also has a demanding job, I may have left a job I love if it weren’t for physician coaching and development.”
- Sutter East Bay Internal Medicine Physician
“Jessie has a gift and I am so grateful she chose to share it. It is my mission to help my others who are struggling, like I was before I came to her retreats, by spreading the word about her work everywhere I can. ”
— Chief Infectious Disease, TPMG
Wellness That Works
The way we were taught to think during professional training helps us complete the arduous process of training but makes it challenging to enjoy sustainable, satisfying, and “well” careers in healthcare.
Trained “thought patterns” add to the stress and distress of working in a broken healthcare system. They also seep into our personal lives, our parenting, and our intimate relationships.
I teach physicians and other high achievers to become aware of their habitual thought practices and how they impact their lives and careers.
Those who join me, leave with effective tools and strategies for moving forward more sustainably, healthily, and happily.
“Don’t underestimate the potential positive practical impact of this experience on improving all aspects of your team’s life.
I encourage all physicians and all teams to invest in this.”
-Chair, Department of Medicine, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, President, Santa Clara County Medical Association
“Well” teams are more productive.
They function with more ease and efficiency AND they provide higher quality care.

“Jessie offered so many pearls that resonated.
She helped me understand how a lot of my thinking is defined by and a product of the medical training culture.
She worked to identify actionable tools that would work for an individual and did not apply a “one-size fits all” approach.
She truly listened, understood and shared rather than just providing information or lecturing.”

Virtual Coaching Workshops and Longitudinal Group Coaching Programs
Show humanism and a true commitment to sustainable and high-quality care by supporting your physicians and clinicians with mindset coaching.
Mindset coaching is integral to EVERY effective wellness program.
What is physician coaching?
It is an effective, high-quality, cost-effective, and evidence-based intervention designed to lessen burnout and emotional exhaustion and improve quality of life.
Coaching empowers healers with tools and strategies to maintain a fulfilling and sustainable career in medicine by helping reduce burnout, anxiety, shame, imposter syndrome, guilt, over-responsibility, and toxic independence so healers can take better care of themselves, their families, and their patients.
It’s simple, easy, and quick to create an effective virtual coaching program for any institution, anywhere in the world.
Reach out to design a program for your team.
“Coaching is an incredible value - we need more of this as physicians, and as humans.”
