Physician Wellness Retreats in Nature

Mindfulness, Coaching, Yoga & Culinary Medicine with Dr. Jessie Mahoney

“10/10 would recommend” - Dr. Haley Moulton, Pediatrics, Brown University Health

Are you longing to feel calm, hopeful, and vibrant again?

Nourish your mind, body, spirit, and soul with wellness that works.

Bask in spaciousness, nature, and community.

Breathe, sit, walk, talk, eat, forest bathe, practice yoga, and coach -together. With other women who get it.

Leave lighter, inspired, replenished, and empowered.

If this sounds like what you need, you might enjoy Buoyancy for Physicians: The New Resilience — it's one of my most-loved posts about what's actually possible when you stop white-knuckling your way through medicine.

Are you craving a restorative and transformative wellness experience?

There are no lectures in cold, windowless conference rooms. There are no lanyards, crowds, or exhibit halls. There are no box lunches or hotel buffets.

At Pause & Presence retreats, we sit together at a table surrounded by nature pouring through the windows.

Group coaching and workshops take place on cozy, comfortable couches, under trees, on mountaintops, or by the pool.

Each retreat agenda is crafted intentionally to optimize pleasure, learning, and transformation.

I wrote about why the usual models of physician wellness don't work — and what does — in Why Traditional Physician Wellness Doesn't Work.

  • “Amazing!! I highly recommend Jessie's retreats. I have attended twice and am going back again!!!

    She is a wise, compassionate, and supportive coach. The small size of the retreats makes it very personal. Mark's cooking is delicious and nourishing. The mix of yoga, coaching, mindfulness, and wonderful plant-forward meals is magic. And lots of laughter and fun! It has been helpful to me both professionally and personally. Jessie has tons of content available for free between her podcast and yoga classes (on YouTube)--check it out. If you like what you see, you'll love working with Jessie for coaching or one of her retreats. Maybe I'll see you there!! ❤️“
