You are the solution.
With coaching you will...
Discover who you are and what you value

Improve relationships with yourself, your family, friends, coworkers, & patients
Learn how to manage your mind, prioritize yourself, and protect your time and energy
Develop the courage to take massive, messy action to create results you truly desire
Get to Know Me
My name is Mel. I'm a surgeon who made the mistake of conflating my self worth with my abilities. There was a time when productivity and income generation were my priorities. And it just caused me suffering. Then I discovered what really mattered to me, and my whole world changed. As if I was realizing truths I'd always known and simply forgotten.
​
Learning how to manage my own brain, identify and feel emotions without resistance, align my essential self with my social self, and deliberately create the results I want in life are the most empowering skills I have ever learned. I want to share them with you.
What I Offer
1:1 Coaching
Every person on the planet, especially surgeons, needs a coach. Why? Because your brain is designed for survival. It is dictating thousands of thoughts to you, many of them unconscious, negative and connected to old parts of you that no longer serve your goals. With coaching, you learn how to step outside of your thinking brain, drop back into the wisdom of your body, and deliberately choose how you want to think and feel about the circumstances in your world to create results you truly, deeply desire. 1:1 coaching involves private, weekly, remote sessions.
