Anchor 1

What would you be capable of if you weren’t so hard on yourself?

In healthcare, you’re expected to hold it all together — to stay composed, keep achieving, and care for others no matter what. But beneath the surface, many professionals carry a hidden load of self-doubt and relentless inner criticism.

Imposter syndrome is common, even among the most experienced. You might find yourself re-running conversations, questioning your competence, or feeling like you’ll be “found out” despite all you’ve achieved.

That critical inner voice may feel like it’s pushing you to improve, but it often leads to shame, emotional fatigue, and disconnection from the work that once mattered.

Thankfully, there is a kinder way to do life, one that includes you in your caregiving circle.

Self-compassion isn’t about going easy on yourself — it’s what gives you the clarity, strength, and courage to keep showing up in a way that’s sustainable.

It’s how you reconnect with your values, recover from setbacks, and take empowered action — not from fear or pressure, but from purpose.

Through polyvagal-informed, trauma-sensitive practices, you’ll learn how to regulate your nervous system, quiet the inner critic, and shift your internal motivation from criticism to care.

Introducing Self-Compassion Coaching for Health-Care

A 6-week journey into kindness, understanding and compassion for yourself and others.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidenced-based methodology that can completely transform the way you do life and practice medicine - for good.

Developed from the groundbreaking work of Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer, MSC has three key components: Mindfulness, Common Humanity and Self-Kindness.

Through Mindfulness we learn to ground ourselves in the present moment, greeting our thoughts and emotions with openness and curiosity.

Common Humanity reminds us that we are not alone. Our emotions and our struggles are universal and part of the human experience.

Self-kindness teaches us to treat ourselves as we would a dear friend, responding with kindness, sympathy and understanding, so that we may soothe our own hurts in difficult moments.

With MSC, you’ll learn how to encourage and motivate yourself with kindness and compassion rather than with criticism and harsh judgment. MSC is proven to boost happiness, reduce anxiety and depression, help you stick to healthy lifestyle changes, and live life with greater ease, wellbeing and resilience.

"As a woman in medicine, I’ve always held myself to impossible standards — constantly pushing, rarely pausing. This course helped me recognise just how harsh my inner voice had become, and how much it cost me.

Through self-compassion practices and nervous system tools, I learned how to soothe my stress response and motivate myself with kindness rather than fear. The polyvagal lens made everything click—I now understand why I freeze or overfunction in certain situations, and I finally have tools to work with my body, not against it.

For the first time in a long while, I feel more grounded, more present with patients, and more connected to my ‘why’ — without burning out to get there."
