Stop Worrying About Your Patients
A 3 month immersive coaching program for healthcare humans
How much of your life is lost to worry about your work in medicine?
How many hours do you spend over-charting because of patient worry?
How many conversations with your loved ones do you spend distracted by patient worry?
How many nights is your sleep interrupted with patient worry?
You may think you HAVE to worry about your patients in order to be a good clinician.
This is a lie.
Worry is only keeping you from enjoying the good work you are already doing.
It’s time to stop worrying about your patients, and …
…reconnect with the joy of practicing medicine again
…actually enjoy your patient encounters again.
…reclaim hours of time back for YOU.
When you work with me, you will learn how to stop worrying, and instead:
Create healthy, boundaried relationships that benefit you and your patients
Manage your time and get your paperwork done efficiently
Enjoy your evenings away from the EMR and sleep well at night
Design your life in medicine to work for you, instead of the other way around.
These results are what is possible when you stop worrying and start trusting your brilliant brain
My invitation to you
You are invited to enroll in my 3 month 1:1 coaching program Stop Worrying About Your Patients.
In this program you will get biweekly 45 min 1:1 coaching sessions with me, where you get the support and strategies you need to reclaim control and confidence over your patient care, and leave worry behind in the process.
We tailor the sessions to what YOU most want to learn. Do you want to get your paperwork done faster? Navigate tricky patient encounters without running 60 minutes behind? Set firmer boundaries? I’ve got you, friend!
In between sessions, you will practice implementing all the skills and see the immediate benefit to yourself and your patients. If roadblocks come up, no problem, I am happy to support you with email coaching to get you back on track.
You will also have access to my growing library of recordings, tools and resources that I have developed to stop worrying in many areas of my own life.
These include the all replays of my past workshops:
Reclaiming Your Time (a human-first approach to time and paperwork management)
Navigating Difficult Patient Emotions
Managing Unrealistic Patient Expectations
Empowering Reluctant Patients
Medicolegal Fear - How to Stop Practicing Defensive Medicine
You will have the opportunity to earn CME credits through the resources and coaching sessions as well.
CL, Family Physician
“What has changed since working with Joan: Everything! I'm not charting at night or on weekends anymore. I am feeling way more confident at work, almost no imposter feelings. I am managing my anxiety way better.
I am able to laugh at work and am feeling hopeful that I can stay in medicine. I am enjoying having hobbies and feel like a human with a life again.”
MF, Family Physician
“You helped me feel empowered in my journey and more true to myself. I can’t fully put words to how magical this really is. But I’m so appreciative of your listening to me and your brilliance to guide me to help myself.”
Family Medicine Resident
“Thank you again for your support over the past few months. When we first met, it was definitely a stressful and heavy time with lots of imposter syndrome. I think that working on those cognitive pieces helped to distance myself a bit from that performance mindset and regain my confidence – which in turn translated to better communication!
I also appreciated the detailed summaries that you sent after our sessions. Will definitely be archiving them so that I can review when needed.”
The results of this program are life-changing.
My clients have stopped opening their EMRs in the evenings AND get their paperwork done faster.
They’ve started reconnecting with their patients AND felt more at ease setting boundaries around their time in appointments.
They’ve rediscovered who they actually are outside of the healthcare label AND enjoy their work in medicine more than ever.
I would love for you to be my next client and make these results YOURS.
Will you join me?
Your investment will be $3000 CAD (or 3 monthly payments of $1000).
Your return on this investment will be your time, your energy, your brain back to actually enjoy your life in and outside of medicine.

(Frequently Asked Worries)
“I’m already drowning in work- I’m worried I won’t have the time to commit to this program.”
If you are drowning, the time you spend in this program is the best investment you can make. Learning how to stop worrying about your patients is how you create the time and mental bandwidth to actually get things done during the day so you can leave work at work.
“I’m worried about spending this much money on myself.”
Your brain is your most valuable clinical tool.
Instead of paying for more knowledge - at conferences, reference subscriptions, medical journals & podcasts - what if you paid to sharpen the caretaker of all the knowledge and experience you already have? The money I’ve spent on coaching myself pales in comparison with what I’ve spent on my medical training and medical equipment and overhead - and the time I’ve spent developing trust in myself and my brain has been the thing that actually made my medical career sustainable and satisfying. This investment can do the same for you.
“I’m worried it will be too hard. I’ve never been good at talking about my thoughts and feelings.”
This work is not easy. AND you can do hard things. Our social conditioning keeps us afraid of getting too vulnerable and self-reflective. But that’s the exact reason to take the leap and learn how much easier life can be when you aren’t always living with a war zone in your mind. I’ve been where you are, I’ve lived for years with worry running my life and I can tell you with certainty - the pain you’re afraid you’ll feel when you actually face your fears is nothing compared to the prospect of perpetuating your own suffering through constant worry.
“I’m worried it won’t work for me”
I believe in this program so much that if you complete the 3 months and don’t feel a major impact on your time, energy and brain bandwidth, I will be happy to offer you a full refund. Offering this work to you means that much to me.
The fact that you’re worried it won’t work means you are the perfect person to apply. Your brain needs the support and tools I can provide to redevelop trust in your own ability to make decisions with confidence - and it makes total sense that you have worry about the decision at this time.
“I’m worried this will be the same as therapy - which hasn’t worked for me”
Coaching and therapy have some overlapping philosophies, but are very different approaches to the human mind. Therapy is primarily focused on helping folks who have a debilitating mental health diagnosis, while coaching is best suited for someone who is generally functioning but disempowered to own the power they have over their own lives. I am trained to understand if you are the right fit for coaching, or if therapy would likely be a better fit for you - so please do apply and we can explore your concern in our consult session together!
