Hi, I’m Dr. Caitlin — a family physician, coach, and mom who hit a breaking point in 2022 and decided it was time to rewrite the rules.
After years of pushing, over-giving, and doing everything I was “supposed” to do, I found myself burnt out, depleted, and questioning whether the career I had worked so hard for was even sustainable. What I eventually learned was this: nothing was wrong with me — I was living a life that no longer aligned with who I truly was.
Through deep inner work, compassionate reflection, and practical changes to my thoughts, boundaries, identity, and workflow, I slowly rebuilt a version of my life and career that supports my wellbeing, my values, and my capacity. I didn’t need to leave medicine to feel better. I needed to experience it differently.
And now I help other women physicians do the same.
Me
For years, I did everything I was “supposed” to do — work hard, be dedicated, stay late, hold it together, and keep giving even when I was running on empty. Like so many women physicians, I believed that pushing through was part of the job…until it nearly cost me my wellbeing.
When I went through burnout in 2022, it forced me to confront the truth: the way we were trained to practice medicine doesn’t teach us how to care for ourselves. We learn how to serve, sacrifice, and endure — but not how to honor our capacity, set boundaries, or build a fulfilling life outside of clinic walls.
As I began my own healing, I discovered tools that completely changed the way I thought, felt, and led my life. They helped me reconnect with my identity, rebuild my confidence, and create a version of my career that actually supported my wellbeing. And I realized…
every woman physician deserves access to this work — but almost none of us were ever taught it.
That’s why I became a coach.
Because I don’t want women physicians to feel alone in their burnout or stuck in a life that no longer fits. I want them to feel grounded, clear, and in control again. I want them to experience the relief, the alignment, and the sense of self I fought so hard to reclaim.
Coaching allows me to support physicians in a way that medicine alone never could — by helping them step out of survival mode, reconnect to their inner wisdom, and build a life and career that feel sustainable, meaningful, and truly their own.
This work has become one of the greatest honours of my life.
