Hi, I'm Dr Margot Phillips.

 

I am a teacher and a physician, and now a coach and entrepreneur.

 

As a practicing clinician, I worked relentlessly, experiencing both the exhilaration and exhaustion that came with immersing myself in medicine. Through my training as a consult-liaison psychiatrist, I worked with patients & providers across specialities- in medical and surgical ICUs, labor & delivery, primary care, oncology, and more.

 

Driven by a deep calling to serve, I was— and remain— awed and inspired by the power of medicine. ​But I’ve also known the other side— feeling depleted, disenchanted, and demoralized. When I became a stay-at-home parent, I was grateful for the time to step away from work. Yet, I also wrestled with guilt and the loss of my professional identity. Navigating the complexities of part-time work brought its own mix of benefits and challenges. Throughout that process, I often wished I had a coach to help me be more intentional about my path forward.

​

Becoming a coach has been a transformative journey.  I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and a Certified Healthcare Peer  Coach through the Physician Coaching Institute.  While my clinical and academic background in psychiatry informs my approach to coaching, coaching is not therapy. Therapy often explores the past, whereas coaching focuses on the present and future— empowering clients to create the lives they envision. Throughout my career, one constant has remained: a passion for helping people find growth, purpose, and fulfillment in their lives. 

​

​I hope to be part of your journey!​
