Redefining high performance for healthcare professionals;

one rested, resilient human at a time.

High performance in medicine is not achieved through self sacrifice. It is an intentional strategy which must be learned and refined.

"Putting yourself last doesn't make you a hero; it makes medicine unsustainable."

High performance in medicine is not a result of superhuman sacrifice—it’s an intentional strategy. I provide the methodology to shift the focus from deficit to strength, reconnect you with your purpose and build a fulfilling career that lasts.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

 FRAMEWORK

Human First, Doctor Second

You don’t have to sacrifice your life for your career.
True professional strength comes from clearly defining what a meaningful life looks like both inside and outside of medicine, allowing you to be a great doctor and a fulfilled human.

Fixing the Culture of the Healthcare System

The culture of the healthcare system is broken, but the good news is we can fix it.
This shift starts by recognising that burnout isn’t your personal failure—it’s a system failure. Our goal is to stop demanding superhuman sacrifice and instead redesign the system to protect the brilliant humans within it, creating lasting change one rested, resilient professional at a time.

Recovery & Regulation = High Performance

Putting yourself last doesn’t make you a hero; it makes medicine unsustainable.
Real high performance is an intentional strategy that requires rest, recovery, setting boundaries and protecting your wellbeing.

Connection Over Ego

The outdated culture that rewards ego and academic output over teamwork and shared humanity is actively breaking the profession.
Medicine does not need more lone heroes or martyrs; it needs humans who connect, collaborate, and lead with compassion.

Sustainable Flow

True professional mastery is about consistency, not intensity.
The life you want and your best work emerge from a sustainable rhythm built on daily practices that are clearly determined by your personal purpose.

About Me

Redefining high performance for healthcare professionals - one rested, resilient human at a time.

I’ve spent my entire career in medicine going against the grain, following the things I’m interested in and curious about rather than trying to be the kind of doctor I thought I “should” be. I have watched friends and colleagues focus on academia, composure, endless giving, and self sacrifice and I have been there to pick up the pieces when they have burnt out.

At times people have questioned my dedication and even my morals because I have refused to follow the crowd into self neglect, but it is this intentional strategy of deep self care that has got me where I am today.

I’ve travelled through emergency medicine, obstetrics, general practice, and eventually palliative care searching for a place in healthcare that felt both meaningful and sustainable. Along the way, I wrestled with self-doubt and the unspoken belief that being a “good doctor” meant sacrificing myself in service of others.

What I have discovered along this journey is something I now consider my life’s work…
