53% of physicians are burnt out.

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

You’re navigating a major career shift, and no one handed you a roadmap.

Maybe you’re…

👉 Constantly giving to your patients, team, and career—while your own well-being takes a backseat.

👉 Disconnected from the passion that first brought you to medicine—wondering if this is truly sustainable.

👉 Struggling to balance your professional identity with your personal life, leadership responsibilities, or evolving career goals.

👉 Facing new challenges—burnout, moral injury, career uncertainty—and realizing you need more support.

👉 Longing for a space to be real, process challenges, and rebuild a sustainable path forward—without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out.

💡 Here’s the truth:

It’s not your fault this feels overwhelming. Medicine was never designed to support physicians through career transitions, leadership challenges, or personal well-being.

But that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck.

✨ Imagine This Instead…

✔ Having a structured space to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters in your career and life.

✔ Learning alongside other physicians facing similar challenges—so you feel seen, supported, and less alone.

✔ Developing tools to self-advocate, set boundaries, and lead with confidence—without burning out.

✔ Reconnecting with your values, strengths, and long-term vision, so decisions feel clear and aligned.

✔ Gaining clarity, strategy, and support—instead of trying to navigate it all on your own.

🔥 That’s where this physician group coaching cohort comes in.

Hi, we’re root & rise.

At root & rise strategies, we know that physician well-being isn’t just an individual challenge—it’s a systemic issue. Medicine was never designed with sustainability in mind, yet physicians are expected to navigate relentless demands without structured support, community, or training in leadership and resilience.

That’s where we come in.

As the founder of root & rise strategies and an evidence-based performance coach, I help physicians move beyond burnout, gain clarity in their careers, and build leadership and well-being strategies that actually work.

Through data-informed coaching, facilitated group learning, and systemic strategies, root & rise strategies provides:

✔ Tailored, evidence-based coaching for physicians at every stage of their careers
✔ Leadership development programs designed specifically for medical professionals
✔ Proven frameworks for burnout prevention, physician retention, and systemic culture shifts

Because when physicians are well-supported, careers are more sustainable, teams are stronger, and patient care improves.
