SANCTUARY For Women Physicians
Empowering Women Physicians To Create Lives That Feel As Good On The Inside As The World Sees On The Outside
Live a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Imagine a life you don't need to escape from. One where you wake up everyday energized and excited about what lies ahead. A life where the first moments of your day are spent peacefully filling your own cup, guilt-free, before tending to anyone else. One that is sprinkled regularly with rest, self-care, and rejuvenation that fuel a beautifully fulfilling life.
Imagine doing work that you actually love. You feel confident, purposeful, appreciated, in control. You handle the days challenges with ease. And come home at the end of the day with energy to spare. Envision spending your evenings being fully present and connecting meaningfully with family and friends. Imagine winding down in the evenings with a book you enjoy, or a relaxing hobby you actually have time for. You end the day with a heart of gratitude for the freedom to live a beautiful life you love, before drifting peacefully to sleep. You are finally free.
This beautiful life is waiting for you, inside of SANCTUARY.
"You are NOT broken.
You are one learnable skill set away
from a life you absolutely love".
-Jeannie Lawrence, MD
Do you feel like you're just existing and surviving day-to-day, but not really LIVING or THRIVING?
Like you're going to work, taking care of the family, doing all the things telling everyone you're "okay" but not really happy or enjoying your one precious life?
Does your life look good on the outside, but inside you're:
-
Burned out, overwhelmed, and exhausted as you try to take care of everyone else?
-
Lonely, disconnected, and forced to hide behind a facade because no one really "gets" or understands the real you?
-
Held back by fear and self-doubt that keep you from showing up authentically and living the life you really want?
Have you gotten so used to being stressed, overworked, and blah that it seems normal, and like there's no other way to be?
Friend, there is a better way...
Maybe you've already started looking for solutions. But you're overwhelmed with all the options that promise to help you feel better and transform your life. You don't know where to start.
Or perhaps you've tried coaching before, didn't get the transformation you desired, and you're worried you'll fail or SANCTUARY won't work for you.
Maybe you can't seem to find someone who really understands what it is to be a woman a medicine, someone who really gets you.
Perhaps you're so busy you're not sure you'll have the time to commit. Or you're so used to putting others before you, you feel guilty about investing in yourself.
Maybe you already know you need better boundaries and to prioritize yourself. But you just haven't been able to actually change your patterns.
Don't worry. I get you. And I've got you.

My Story
Years ago I found myself in a job that left me feeling overworked, under appreciated and powerless. I got to a place where the stress of my job was taking a toll on me physically and in my home life. I became disillusioned with clinical medicine, which I had always previously loved. The hardest part was that I felt unable to talk about how I was feeling. Everyone expected me to have it all together and from the outside, I did. But inside, I knew something needed to change.
Fortunately, I found my way out of that period of burnout. The shift that helped turn things around for me was the realization that I had power. Somewhere in my journey, I had lost touch with that truth, and started to believe that there was nothing I could do about work or the other challenges I faced in daily life. But when I recognized that there were some things I could change, particularly within myself, I found the strength to make some major shifts in my life.

My Why
In 2020, excited about the positive changes in my life, I started a blog sharing my insights on emotional health and personal growth. COVID hit around the same time, and like everyone, I was spending more time online as in-person interactions become limited. Online, I started joining various physician groups, and started to see that many women physicians were as I had years ago -- exhausted, overwhelmed, unappreciated, stressed out, and powerless. The stress of balancing medicine with the many hats of womanhood was compounded by the advent of COVID and pushing many to their limits. I realized I had something I could share, and who needed it most - women physicians.
Between writing and connecting with other women in medicine...

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"If you're a woman physician thinking about coaching with Jeannie, my advice is simple: Don't hesitate. DO IT."
I signed up for coaching with Jeannie because I was going through an incredibly challenging time in my life. From career struggles to family issues, I felt overwhelmed and in need of support. Traditional counseling helped, but I knew I needed something more. Then I heard Jeannie speak on a podcast, and her words resonated deeply with me. Her warmth, empathy, and understanding of the unique challenges faced by women physicians convinced me that coaching could be the answer I was seeking.
Working with Jeannie has been ife-changing for me. From our very first session, I felt a sense of safety and openness that allowed me to explore my deepest emotions and challenges. Through this journey, I experienced exponential personal growth that I know I wouldn't have achieved otherwise. Jeannie helped me navigate through career burnout, family illness, and other obstacles, guiding me to make courageous decisions and take massive action towards a brighter future.
One of the most significant shifts I've experienced is in my mindset. I've learned to embrace my multifaceted identity as a physician, artist, "daughter CEO", and more. I'm more than a doctor. Jeannie helped me shed the labels and expectations that weighed me down, allowing me to see life with more openness and possibility. I've discovered the power of vulnerability, realizing that self-care is not selfish and that it's okay to lean on support systems when needed.
My mental health has significantly improved through this journey. I've found a newfound sense of peace, joy, and empowerment. I no longer feel like a victim of circumstances but rather an empowered individual capable of facing life's challenges with strength and grace. Even on tough days, I've learned to navigate my emotions with greater awareness and self-compassion.
Beyond personal growth, this journey has also positively impacted my relationships and daily life. I've become more present with my family, reconnected with friends, and rediscovered my creative passions. Through coaching, I've learned to prioritize my well-being and find balance between work and life. I've reached a healthier weight, made a career pivot that honors my true self (while working less and making more), started a business I love, and I'm excited about the possibilities my future holds.
If you're a woman physician considering coaching with Jeannie, my advice is simple: don't hesitate, DO iT. Jeannie provides a safe space where you can be authentically yourself, free from judgment or expectation. Her guidance and support have been invaluable on my journey, and I'm grateful for the positive changes it has brought to my life and the lives of those around me who see the growth in me.
Thank you, Jeannie, for your compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support. You've helped me find strength, clarity, and hope, and I'm excited to continue this journey of growth and transformation.
