Rediscover Joy in Your Career
For family medicine residents, faculty, and teams ready to reconnect with what matters most.
Professional Physician Coaching Empowers
Joy in Family Medicine Coaching Services® partners with residency programs and individuals to foster thriving teams, grow confident leaders, and sustain a healthier future in medicine.
Gain Control
Feeling stuck on the hamster wheel?
You’re not alone. Many physicians feel pulled in every direction, unable to meet their own standards.
No time for yourself?
When the workday spills into every corner of your life, it can quietly erode your sense of control.
Coaching helps you reclaim your time.
Together, we identify what’s in your control and build tools to put you back in the driver’s seat of your life and career.
Grow Confidence
Constantly second-guessing yourself?
You’re not alone. Many physicians feel like they’re falling short, even as their expertise grows.
Worried others are doing it better?
Fear of judgment or comparison can quietly chip away at your confidence—and hold you back from speaking up or stepping forward.
Coaching helps you rebuild belief in yourself.
We’ll identify the saboteurs getting in your way, so you can approach your work with clarity, self-trust, and assurance.
Maximize Joy
Feeling drained by work—even on your days off?
You’re not alone. When job demands overflow into your personal life, it can steal the spark that brought you into medicine.
Lost the joy in patient care?
Dreading the day ahead—or carrying it home with you—may be a sign you’re running on empty.
Coaching helps you reset.
We’ll find personalized ways to decrease stress, improve energy, and re-engage with patients and responsibilities. Reclaim your enthusiasm and start embracing the fullness of your life and career.

Leslie Waldman, MD - APD
Northwest Washington Family Medicine Residency
All of us are keenly aware of the toll our profession can take on wellness.
As an APD, I have felt ineffective in finding ways to positively and enduringly impact resident wellness.
Based on our universally positive resident feedback, I think Joy in Family Medicine coaching is definitely one of the ways to address this concern.
I really appreciate not having program faculty directly involved in this experience, it truly gives residents a safe space to be open and honest.
R3 then Attending
She brings a gracious confidence to the challenges of residency and clinical practice.
I have grown so much from her coaching!

When we met, I was a mess. I’ve never felt so comfortable and focused as I do now.
That shift would not have been possible without your timely coaching.
Casey Gokey, MD
A career in medicine can be challenging.
Sometimes we’re burnt out and don’t even recognize the symptoms.
Tonya’s program is refined into manageable sections that anyone can find time for.
Even if you think you have it all together,
she can help clarify your goals and offer an outside physician perspective
on how to prioritize and problem-solve.
She can also help you improve work-life balance
and align your goals with what’s most important to you.
I highly recommend physician coaching in general—
and I definitely recommend working with Tonya.
