Hi! I'm Leslie
I've spent more than 25 years working in healthcare, most of that in the fast-paced world of inpatient rehab.
I still love being an Occupational Therapist. But I also know what it's like to spend your days caring for everyone else—and slowly realize there's not much left for you.
I've been on the edge of quitting. I've wondered how long I could keep pushing through. And I've learned that thriving in healthcare isn't about getting better at tolerating exhaustion.
That's why I created Thrive Health Coaching—to help women in healthcare get their energy back, care for themselves without so much guilt, and feel like themselves again.
Hi ! I'm Leslie
I have been working in healthcare for 26 years. most of that in the fast pace world of physical inpatient rehab.
I honestly still love being a therapist. I also know what it is like to be on the edge of quitting and feeling like I can't keep this up. I decided to make my mission to make sure women in scrubs don't have to white-knuckle their way through a career that is supposed to be a calling.
What we're working toward
MORE ENERGY
Understand what's draining your energy and build realistic habits that help you have something left for life outside of work.y.
HEALTHIER BOUNDARIES
Learn to prioritize yourself with less guilt, say no when you need to, and create more space for what matters.
FEELING LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN
Move out of survival mode and begin feeling more present, confident, and connected—to your work, the people you love, and yourself.
My Story
For most of my career, I loved the fast-paced nature of healthcare. I was passionate about helping others, and I thrived on the sense of purpose it gave me. But over time, the demands of patient care, physical and mental fatigue, and constant giving started to take a toll. I found myself running on empty—exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like I was failing both at work and at home. I tried everything: self-care routines, time management hacks, and sheer willpower. But nothing seemed to work.
The turning point came after a car accident forced me to slow down and reevaluate everything. I realized that I couldn’t keep pushing through on fumes. I needed a new way to live—a way to care for myself while still showing up for the people and work I loved. That's when I started asking a different question. Instead of wondering how I could get better at pushing through, I started looking at why I had gotten so used to putting myself last.
I learned how to build small, practical habits that fit into my busy life, and I discovered the power of community and connection in healing. I didn't suddenly create a perfect life or a perfect schedule. I learned how to make small changes that fit my real life, care for myself more consistently, and stop believing I had to run myself into the ground to be good at what I do.
