  • Have a life outside of work (reminder- you are human)
  • Physical fitness goals (weight,sleep, nutrition)

As a high achiever, you're wired to constantly 'do' more, often neglecting your own needs. Unfortunately, this approach can cost you more than taking a focused approach to self-care. Many strategies out there leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure. I understand your time is limited, and you have important things to accomplish—that’s why everything I offer is designed with your busy lifestyle in mind. I’d love to learn more about you and offer the support I’ve provided to many other clients. Schedule a 30-minute strategy session, and let’s chat!

TESTIMONIALS

 Dr. Correa

I found Dr.Amna Shabbir at the perfect time in my life. I had pretty much hit rock bottom in my professional career, feeling lost and unsure why I couldn’t keep a job or understand what was happening to me. I started to believe that maybe I was crazy, and when I tried to talk to others about it, they often made me feel the same way. But Dr.Amna Shabbir saw through all of that noise. She validated what I was going through and helped me realize the strength that had been buried deep inside, suffocated by others' expectations. She helped me redirect my thoughts and see my worthiness during one of the darkest periods of my life. Dr.Amna Shabbir is an excellent coach who connects with you on a deep level. She was one of the first people to truly acknowledge my experience, which meant so much to me. She is a special coach doing amazing things, especially in helping physicians, because we are human too. We need support just like everyone else, and thanks to people like Amna, we can heal and move forward without being consumed by our suffering.

Dr. AM 

..The system hasn't changed any but working with Amna I've started to change my approach and attitude and response to stress, opening the door for more joy and  fulfillment while doctoring.

Mary Macaluso PA-C 

Before I started seeing Amna, I struggled with boundaries in my life and my career. I was not confident in who I am as a person, mom, and provider. I had just started my practice and I needed help to separate my life from my job. Helping me to continue to provide good patient care and still take care of myself. She has been phenomenal in helping me find language to support myself. I am much more confident that what I do helps patients and other providers in my area. I am so grateful to have come across her and that I started coaching with her. If you are not sure if coaching is for you, are feeling insecure, burnt out Amna is definitely for you!

Dr. S - (PhD - Public Health)

Dr. Shabbir/Amna has been a phenomenal coach to recenter my priorities as a working professional. She is able to foster an environment for discussion on several wellness priorities. An added bonus of receiving coaching services from Amna is her cultural competency and sensitivity, understanding the perspective of a POC working professional.

Dr. Sharma- (15 years into medical practice, mom)

Both the online modules as well as the 1:1 Coaching Sessions with Amna helped me shift my mindset at a time when I was leaving a toxic workplace and discovering what my next steps were and rediscovering myself. Each session with Amna was like a breath of fresh air, I left each one more at ease and she always checked into follow-up with me in between sessions. I'm now about to start a new position and have a renewed sense of purpose and overall feel well (and excited!) after working with Amna.

Dr. Zaineb 

To put it simply, Amna gave me a reset. She helped transform my vulnerabilities into my strengths. The sessions were easy to schedule. She paced them to my comfort. I did the bare minimum work of showing up on time and still the improvements were tangible. I wanted to work on “clarity and purposefulness”. In the end, I had a much better vision of my upcoming year, I had a comfortable and productive hold on my work schedule, I made better choices for my fitness, found mentors for the different ventures in my life that I wanted to explore, and strangely enough, I started reading books again, something I had been putting off for years which helped vent out my brain even further. She assisted me in making “this or that” decisions that were neither right nor wrong yet holding me hostage for months if not years. She taught me to “fail forward”. Finally, I would say I am more available to myself and Amna made me feel like I did all on my own.

Katie M PA-C

It is amazing to me that after years of working mental health and knowing all the, "right things to do," I still was not implementing them. I lived deeply as my own worst critic undeserving of forgiveness or basic kindness. In your common sense straightforward way the compassion started to click. They change in mindset felt reasonable. You helped me see the person other people see me as. I no longer reflexively hate myself. I recognize my strengths, I am more fine tuned to what I want and need to improve instead of globally thinking everything about me is awful. I feel confident in my practice. I am confident in setting boundaries with patients and not taking it personally, which I have always struggled with. I believe I would not be in such a positive place if it were not for you and your guidance. I truly appreciate everything I have gained from working with you. I often tell people about my coach and highly recommend coaching.

I have been so grateful through out this journey for being able to talk to you with ease and comfort. The tools and strategies you gave me to overcome my hurdles were communicated to me so thoughtfully. The additional recorded lessons that you again so thoughtfully put together have been great learning for me. I have found clarity in my decisions which gradually uplifted my morale to achieve my goals. Thank you for your empathy and guidance.

 Dr. J- (Program Director, Seasoned Clinician)

Dr. Shabbir is a fabulous coach! She made me feel supported and heard. Completing the online curriculum and meeting with her helped me shift my mindset to improve my confidence and reach my goals.

 Dr. Erica- (Palliative Care Physician)

The Early Career Physician Institute allowed me to explore who I am as a person, beyond the title of physician. Amna’s ability to relate to my experiences provided the permission I needed to be open and honest with not just her, but myself. Through the program, I began the work of creating an environment compatible with my values, ideals, and capacity. She helped me identify immediate changes to preserve my energy and personalized the sessions based on my priorities. I love that she provides resources for multiple learning types - videos, written prompts, session summaries, and interactive sessions. Finding a community to openly discuss the personal challenges associated with being a physician is not common, and Amna is creating just that.

Dr. NS 

When I was struggling with postpartum depression while juggling the demands of my surgical residency, Amna was a lifeline. She not only helped me find clarity on my priorities but also provided actionable steps and goals to ensure I was taking care of myself. 

Dr. S 

Dr. Shabbir/Amna has been a phenomenal coach to recenter my priorities as a working professional. She is able to foster an environment for discussion on several wellness priorities. An added bonus of receiving coaching services from Amna is her cultural competency and sensitivity, understanding the perspective of a POC working professional.

Dr. Cynthia 

In a profession where it's easy to feel like a mere statistic, Dr. Amna Shabbir ensures you are recognized as an incredibly valuable individual. I wholeheartedly recommend any early-career physician to embark on a coaching program with Dr. Amna. Her guidance is nothing short of fantastic, and I am confident she will continue positively impacting and transforming the lives of many on their professional journeys.

Dr. Bryce

It is not hard to see why Amna is so successful at what she does. She has an unparalleled ability to listen and relate to her clients. You never feel judged and always feel at ease. Because of this, you feel comfortable and therefore can be vulnerable, which ultimately gets you so much out of each session. She was able to get me to establish the framework for my goals and dreams ahead. Phenomenal.

Dr. RR 

Amna has been extremely insightful and such a huge support and has taught me so many valuable lessons about self-love and changing my perspective. She equips you with tools to break the cycle of negativity and is essentially a HUGE moral support. 

Dr. L

I feel like I’m on the right path in my life toward growth not only as a physician but also as a mother, wife, and person. I would highly recommend coaching with Amna, I believe it is worth every single penny and money very well spent.

Dr. A 

Amna has that uncanny ability to hold space for your experience while also empowering you to own your stuff AND simultaneously make changes aligned with your values. She asks pointed questions that get to the heart of the matter and result in big mindset shifts. 

Dr. Michael Seth

This program was instrumental in teaching me techniques for understanding the root causes of my confidence struggles and developing strategies for disrupting unhelpful mental cycles. I now feel capable and excited about being a physician while cultivating meaning in my life.

Dr. IQ 

Coaching with Amna has been one of the best decisions of my career. The Early Career Physician Institute really helped me settle into life as a new attending while balancing the multiple hats we wear as moms, wives, household managers, and leaders at work. Nobody teaches you these things in medical school or residency, and I really admire Amna as a coach who gently guided me through the struggles I faced, helped me identify my strengths, realize my value in the Healthcare system (and in life overall) and taught me a stress-free approach to dealing with life and all its ups and downs!

Dr. LK

My sessions with Amna have helped me immensely. When I first started my journey, I was recently postpartum and dealing with a lot of stressors from family as well as work expectations, burnout, and overall problems with self-confidence. I feel like I was in an all-time low in my personal and professional life and it was very difficult for me. My sessions with Amna were very honest but also gave me a light and a way out of my seemingly never-ending cycle. 

 Dr. SF- (Pulmonary- Critical Care Physician)

I came in with a sense that coaching will be like the typical "wellness training" but coaching has helped me understand my problems on a deeper level and has helped me to tackle them better. I have and continue to tell people to get coached.

Dr. TN

You didn’t plan to get sick but you did and unfortunately, you work in healthcare so the rest you need will be laced with guilt and shame. How do you advocate for yourself in a professional, clear way? How do you craft that email, set those boundaries, and protect your well-being without guilt or second-guessing? Through my coaching with Dr. Shabbir, I found the exact words to use to assert my needs and establish firm boundaries—without shame, guilt, or mental exhaustion. She was incredibly responsive and provided unwavering support throughout the process. If you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, burnout, or endless stress, don’t wait. Invest in working with Dr. Shabbir—she will get you **the** results you need, results no material purchase can ever deliver. Your well-being is worth it, and the transformation is priceless.

Dr. A

When I started coaching I was going through a transition in my role as a trainee, and needing to make some decisions about my future career. The coaching sessions helped me organize my thoughts and understand my values, so I could take steps to pursue a career that will be fulfilling and match my values. Amna helped normalize my internal deliberations and frustrations so that I could work through them. I would recommend this for anyone trying to climb out of a burnout cycle and looking to make a change that aligns with their goals.
