I'm a Family Physician and a Life Coach for community-minded docs.


Before coaching...I burned out hard in my 1st job. It took me a year to realize that and two more to dig myself out. Then came buying a house, having one kid, then a second...and the life of a busy physician mom. It was challenging but fine. After our second kid turned one and we paid off our student loans, I realized I had the bandwidth and resources to pursue a dream I'd had since medical school -- the dream of becoming a life coach for female physicians.



I found clarity, learned to trust my voice, and realized my power with coaching. I learned how to be brave, create healthy boundaries, say "NO", and express my needs. I learned to own my expertise and take risks to live my dreams. Those were the superpowers I needed to get the experience of life I wanted. Amazing!



And that's what I do with my clients. They're tired of treading water, feeling stuck & overwhelmed... WE DESERVE BETTER! So I teach them skills. They practice safely with me. We replace all the crappy negative self talk...first with gentleness, a commitment to themselves and self-compassion. And soon afterward, with real understanding, courage, strength, and self-trust.



And that's how we end up with the connected, authentic relationships we want with ourselves and others.

Notes get done. We're home on time. We're present! We care for ourselves. We stick to financial plans. We're effective leaders & compassionate providers. We maintain healthy boundaries.

There's no more tug-a-war. We feel integrated...and whole. And we enjoy the heck out of life.

It is a lot of work...AND it's totally worth it!
