”This was the very best thing I have gifted myself since becoming a physician. Hands down.”
- Dr. Zaneta Lim, Pediatrics
I am not your average physician coach, retreat leader, or keynote speaker.
I have a deep understanding of the current challenges and chaos in healthcare and the impact of a career in medicine on your health, relationships, and life.
I am a board-certified pediatrician and physician wellness expert who led physician wellness for one of the largest medical groups in the country for almost twenty years. I graduated from Dartmouth College and the UCSF School of Medicine and trained. I certified as a coach with Martha Beck and the Life Coach School. I am also a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher.
What I share with you at Pause & Presence will help you improve your life and relationships in spite of the current realities of medicine.
I am Dr. Jessie Mahoney
“Jessie is amazing! As a fellow female physician, she understands the unique challenges we face daily. Her group sessions and one-on-one coaching are THE antidote to burnout. I recommend her to anyone looking to make a change or wanting to flourish in their current situation.
It is worth the investment!”
- Dr. Julie Martino, ER MD
“Revelatory” and “Life Changing”
As a woman physician with limited time and energy, you want someone who is highly skilled, experienced, wise, and nurturing.
You want to work with someone who gets you and gets it.
Who believes in you, themselves, and the process.
You also want a physician coach who is 100% dedicated to you.
Coaching and physician wellness are not my side gig. They are what I do full-time.
In 2002, I was one of the very first physician wellness leaders.
In 2018 I became of the first physician coaches.
I offer high-touch, 1:1 coaching, small-group coaching, transformative CME retreats, program sfor teams and institutions, and engaging and inspired keynote talks.
Physicians who coach with me, join my retreats, and hear my keynotes at conferences realize early on that what I offer at Pause & Presence is special.

Do you often feel discontent, and under appreciated?
Ten years ago, despite significant outward success and decades of working and sacrificing as a doctor, mom, and wife, I found myself feeling exactly this.
I was habitually distracted by planning, fixing, and worrying, and missing the presence, the magic, and the joy.
I found solutions and to this day continue to grow my tool basket. I never imagined that life and my relationships could feel this fulfilling and continue to get better and better.
How to do this in your own life is what I share at Pause & Presence.
Even amidst the craziness and the chaos of life, medicine, and the world today, what’s offered here brings relief, peace, joy, and connection.

Where to Start
What Would Love Do?
What if the most powerful tool for navigating crisis, burnout, and impossible decisions isn’t more logic—but more love?
Everything changed when I paused, placed a hand on my heart, and asked a question I had never been taught to ask: What would love do?
