Coaching For Physicians
"Working with Jessie during this time has been one of the best decisions I've made professionally.
She is simply amazing.”
Professional development, leadership, and burnout coaching that supports both your mindset and your physiology—so medicine can feel more sustainable, satisfying, and humane.
After twenty years of working on wellness in a large healthcare organization, I can confidently say that mindfulness and mindset work is the one intervention that actually changes the physician experience in the long term.
In training, we learn ways of thinking that help us survive training.
After training, those same patterns drive exhaustion, overfunctioning, over-responsibility, overgiving, and overwhelm.
Coaching helps you “untrain” the expensive patterns and create more calm, clarity, connection, and a healthier path forward.
“A fantastic investment in yourself and your future! We should all have the opportunity to experience coaching with Jessie. ”
— Emergency Physician, TPMG

Feel Stuck or Like You’re Spinning Your Wheels
I didn't discover physician coaching during the pandemic. I was already coaching full-time. Physician wellness has been part of my work for almost twenty five years.
Our healthcare systems need to change AND if we want to keep practicing medicine, we can’t wait.
Wherever you find yourself today, there is hope - even if you are resentful, exhausted, and feel ready to give up.
“I strongly recommend coaching for anyone who wants to be happier, calmer, more content, and get unstuck. Jessie is phenomenal” - Female Physician, NYU
Coaching Is Normal for High Performers - Except Physicians
Coaching is standard for high performers in almost every demanding field. Athletes, executives, and military leaders work with coaches not because they’re struggling, but because the stakes are high and excellence requires skilled support.
Physicians experience all of this but we are expected to perform without support.
It shows in our burnout, attrition, moral injury, exhaustion, strained relationships, isolation, and self-sacrifice disguised as professionalism.
We don’t need coaching because we are fragile, weak or failing; we need it because the work is complex and the systems are broken.
If medicine is going to evolve, we have to stop pretending we can outwork or out-sacrifice the system and start learning how to practice sustainable excellence.

Physician Coaching As a Skillset for Modern Medicine
Do I offer group coaching?
Yes. I offer topic-based small groups for women physicians, and privately organized group coaching for institutions, fellowships, and teams. What's different about my groups is that they are intimate - less than 10 women physicians. They are not for lurkers. Small group programs are communties- supported spaces where you belong. They offer deep engagement and transformative change for every group member. Groups have a topic of focus - transitions, marriages, or leadership.
How do I choose the right option?
If you want private, personalized support, choose 1:1 coaching. If you want community + a shared topic focus, choose small group coaching. If you’re bringing coaching to a department, institution, residency, or fellowship, choose institutional & GME coaching.
