I've been semi-retired of clinical medicine for almost 4 years now.Initially, I found myself coaching burned out physicians… helping them to recover, find careers they love, and even start their own businesses outside the box. However, as I listened to my inner voice, I was led back to my healing roots, and that opened up a career opportunity I would have never imagined to have.

Let me back up a bit. I'm a regular old family doc by training. Well, that's the way things began, anyway.I remember choosing the specialty the summer after first year. I worked with a rural family doc who was a full spectrum doc. For those of you who are Family Medicine like me, you know what this means.He did everything!For me that was fascinating. However, as you know, what we see as med students is often a sliver of the real world as it pertains to practice.As I progressed I discovered integrative & functional medicine, and that is where my real love settled as a family physician. However, after 7 years of having a private practice (even one where I set my own hours, and ran my own ship) became less than fulfilling after awhile.I felt like I had outgrown that purpose.
