I Help Doctors Build Greater Purpose, Confidence, Resilience and Joy.

My Passion is to Work With Doctors and Medical Trainees, Supporting Their Wellbeing, Growth, and Success.

I Work With Doctors Who Are:

  • New to clinical practice
  • Moving into a leadership role
  • Getting off the treadmill
  • Considering retirement
  • Leading teams and colleagues
  • Needing to build resilience
  • Needing to improve communication
  • Distressed by circumstances
  • Making big decisions or at a crossroads
  • Finding a way forward
  • Seeking something more

Compassionate. Direct. Kind.

As a busy family doc, I was recovering from work-related burnout. Coaching sessions with Anne McNamara were great for my well being. I was able to focus on what really mattered. I am more empowered; more equipped to sustain balance in my professional and personal life. My colleagues and family notice good changes in me.
