Diane Shannon, MD, MPH -- Creating Sustainable Careers for Women

I am Diane Shannon, MD, MPH,

As a practicing physician with an MD and Master’s in Public Health from Harvard University, I understand firsthand the unique challenges that healthcare professionals face every day. After years in medicine, I became passionate about helping fellow physicians, particularly women, navigate the complexities of our demanding profession while maintaining personal well-being and professional fulfillment.

I’m a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation, and I’ve dedicated my coaching practice to addressing physician burnout – a crisis I’ve witnessed too often in our healthcare system. Having experienced the pressures of medical practice myself, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my coaching relationships. I understand the weight of responsibility we carry, the long hours, the emotional toll, and the struggle to maintain work-life integration in such a demanding field.

My coaching focuses specifically on helping busy women physicians develop sustainable practices that prevent burnout while enhancing professional satisfaction. I work with clients on career transitions, leadership development, and creating strategies for better work-life balance. Whether you’re a resident feeling overwhelmed, a mid-career physician considering a change, or a senior doctor looking to rediscover your passion for medicine, I’m here to support you.

Based in Boston, I combine my medical background with professional coaching training to provide specialized support that addresses both the clinical and personal aspects of physician well-being. My goal is to help healthcare professionals like you create more fulfilling, sustainable careers while maintaining the high standards of care that drew us to medicine in the first place.

Many women physicians today are drowning. Practicing medicine has become exponentially more stressful for a host of reasons, and women physicians are under pressure as never before. Leaders at all levels in healthcare are at risk of overwhelm as well.

I help women professionals in healthcare improve their well-being and leadership skills through tailored coaching to uncover and address key obstacles, such as overwhelm, burnout, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing. Through coaching, my clients gain back time for enjoying their work, taking care of themselves, and spending quality time with their families.
