The SOARING STRATEGY
to Manage Stress and Prevent Burnout
A simple, science backed system to manage everyday stress and rewire your brain for greater calm, contentment and joy.
As a doctor, you deal with a mountain of stressful situations every day.
Whether you’re delivering tough news to a patient, stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, negotiating with your manager or managing a very public toddler meltdown, all kinds of everyday stress can get your nervous system firing.
The question is, how will you respond?
Many of us do life on auto-pilot, reacting in the moment to whatever the day brings. Sometimes we respond well; other times our default behaviour patterns can make a tough situation worse. You shut down your emotions, unintentionally leaving a patient feeling lost and alone, then take all the stress and pressure home where you snap at your kids and your partner.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Like many women in medicine, you’re overloaded. And while you may not see a way to offload those responsibilities just yet, it is possible to handle your day-to-day stress in a whole new way - with incredible results for your health, happiness, and wellbeing.
It's called The SOARING SRATEGYto Manage Stress and Prevent Burnout
My signature system to help you handle day to day stress with peace, calm, and ease.
With The Soaring Strategy, you’ll discover a host of micro self-care practices you can employ on the job, at the wheel, or behind the kitchen counter. Anywhere you need to manage stress at the moment, you’ll have the tools to handle it - and handle it well.

"...stimulating, supportive and refreshing course..."
"I found the Stress Reset week a stimulating, supportive and refreshing course. I loved being able to learn some new ways to help me tackle overwhelm at work and in life, and do it in an efficient way that was considerate of my already busy week! I also love connecting with other women in medicine by Zoom and being able to see I'm not alone! Robyn was lovely; genuinely understanding and an expert... and seemed to enjoy it as much as any of us!"
