As a Certified Physician Development Coach, my philosophy revolves around a fundamental belief: healthcare is broken, but you are not. I view coaching as a transformative journey for healthcareĀ professionals seeking personal fulfillment, skill enhancement, and deeper self-understanding. Coaching is not remediation.
Coaching equips individuals with the intra and interpersonal skills to navigate the inevitable conflicts and challenges of working in healthcare. Through coaching, we strive to empower healthcare professionals to thrive in their roles, cultivate resilience, and foster a deeper sense of purpose amidst the complexities of the healthcare landscape.
Coaching can help address a range of challenges, including burnout, healing from moral injury, managing compassion fatigue, improving time management, aligning work with personal values, gaining greater clarity, building a lasting legacy, and setting stronger boundaries to boost fulfillment.

Dr. Austin is a great listener and coach. She has a skill of reflecting back my words and thoughts without judgment to help me see things more clearly and make decisions more objectively.

Today, I know that I am ā a Wounded Healerā well on my journey of recovery as a woman, mother, and physician. Over a year ago, I was lost, burnout . Medicine used to bring me joy but then I survived it with frustration and hurt. My emotional and physical tank was empty. I was at the point of contemplating quitting medicine when I met Dr. Austin. She had the patience to hear me out and validate all the turmoil I was in. She knew there was a way for me to walk above the misery and find myself again, happy and fulfilled. By coaching me, she set the ground for my healing journey. We started out by rediscovering and call out my values, ground my boundaries, and love myself first for who I am.
