Physician Wellness:
You don’t know why it’s so hard now compared to how it used to be except that your EHR is the bane of your existence. Too much time is spent on charting and admin tasks that your work is not as rewarding. This is not the reason you went into practice. It used to be fun and exciting, but you don’t have time for a relationship with your patients like you used to, let alone your partner.
You’re irritable and it’s affecting your relationship. You are so tired that on your days off, it's hard to find the time and energy for the activities and people you love. It’s hard to have the time or energy for compassion for your patients because of all this.
As are a competent high achiever and problem solver.
You are so used to taking care of patients, you can forget to take care of yourself.
Conditions get harder and you keep going. Staff shortages have increased the pressure, so you work harder. You are good at what you do, yet you worry that fatigue is costing you some mental sharpness you used to rely on. You are losing some of the compassion you once had for your patients and that could result in poor reviews.
If you don’t have anyone to talk to it can fuel anxiety, self-doubt, depression, and burnout. You don’t have to go it alone. I’m Monica and I help physicians find their way out of burnout to develop resilience and deeper happiness. I am a guide helping you to navigate through murky water into more clarity. You will find the inner wisdom needed to make meaningful and lasting changes.
One doctor who I worked with as a coach came in exhausted and left making breakthroughs in her work, health, and well-being.
“I saw improvements in every other area of my life - health, finances, and relationships.”
Dr. Imber Coppinger
Together, we will consider what well-being looks like for you. It starts with the willingness to show up, to be present for yourself. In a world where you have been rewarded for knowing, fixing, and doing, the gold is in slowing down enough to explore the unknown. Out of this, you will be able to take concrete steps to rediscover your joy.
“I was surprised how quickly I went from feeling exhausted to feeling calm, joyful, and vital again”
Workshop participant, Dr. Roland Hennes
Before my clients came to see me, some didn’t see themselves in therapy and didn’t know how to find the time. Some questioned if it would provide any value. Check out some coaching testimonials on this page to see the shifts these doctors have made. If you are unsure whether coaching or therapy is right for you, let’s talk about it.

I cannot recommend her work highly enough!
Monica and I worked together for about a year. I cannot recommend her work highly enough.
When we started, I was studying for my boards. I was really dragged down and couldn’t get myself to study and I wasn't sure why. It was a really painful place to be.
In my 1st session, with Monica's support, I began to listen to myself with curiosity and compassion. I discovered this part of me that was tired and angry about working so hard. This part of me refused to do it anymore. Learning to listen to that voice freed me to be able to study with ease. I passed my boards with flying colors!
I saw improvements in every other area of my life - health, finances, and relationships. While there were some challenging moments, on the balance of it, it’s been easy to make these breakthroughs and changes.

Her methods are unlike anything I learned in healthcare before.
As head of the Port Center Clinic In Heidelberg, I have long days and a lot of stress during covid with as many as 10 surgeries a day. I took a short class with Monica and with in 20 minutes of learning the short practices she taught us, my stress disappeared.
I was surprised how quickly I went from feeling exhausted to feeling calm, joyful, and vital again. She taught us how to shorten these practices so I can do them between surgeries and feel refreshed.
Her methods are unlike anything I learned in healthcare before. By helping us access the wisdom inherent in our own bodies, she goes beyond Mind Body Medicine so the changes I make can be permanent. It’s integrative and evidence based.
She has a vision for the transformation of healthcare that is close to my heart. I believe that my patients heal themselves with my help. That’s what Monica’s work is about.
“Monica’s workshop helped me to become the captain of my life!
I learned a deep truth about the hidden wisdom of my body in Monica Elden’s training.
When I was a doctor in the ICU, my body was on constant high alert. I pushed myself too hard and cared for patients more than myself. As a result of the workshop, I found the courage to make changes: I combine my life long passion for flying with my experience in acute emergency care. I fly to remote locations and lead a specialty team to treat and transport patients. Learning to listen to my body allowed me to follow my dreams!”
