ABOUT DR. VIRGINIA HURDON
Helping Doctors Come Back to Themselves
You’ve spent your life caring for others—patients, kids, aging parents, partners, colleagues.
And somewhere along the way, you lost sight of yourself.
I help doctors, like you, find their way back.
You're a dedicated physician.
Whether you’re burned out in mid-career, quietly unraveling under the weight of responsibilities, or staring down a major life transition—like leaving medicine or stepping into retirement—I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reimagine what life can look like.
This isn’t about fixing you. This is about finally making room for you.
I know this path because I’ve walked it…
A few years ago, I hit my own breaking point.
I ignored the early signs: overwhelm, sleepless nights, decision fatigue, emotional and spiritual exhaustion.
By the time I asked for help, it almost was too late.
In recovering, I came face-to-face with how deeply medical culture shapes us: to perform, to push through, to serve at all costs.
And I realized—if I wanted to heal, I had to stop trying to fit myself back into a life that was breaking me.
I didn’t return to medicine. But I did find a new way to serve.
Coaching allows me to support fellow physicians as they navigate their own transitions, grief, rediscovery, and growth.

What wellness means to me:
It’s remembering you are a whole person—not just a role. It’s having the space to rest, to breathe, to care, to connect.
For me, being well means:
Valuing myself outside of my MD
Getting clear on what matters, and living from that place
Facing hard things with courage and care
Reclaiming joy in the everyday
This is the path I walk—and the one I’d be honored to walk with you.
How I Work
I support doctors who are:
Burned out and overextended—navigating life and medicine on fumes
Longing for a fuller life—where work, family, and personal well-being aren’t mutually exclusive
In transition—rethinking their career or transitioning into retirement
We explore the practical and the personal:
From boundaries and burnout recovery
To values, purpose, and what’s next
With doable steps and deep conversations
The Heart of My Work
GROWTH
We cannot simply stay as we are and expect things to get better.
EMPATHY
I value genuine human connection, something that doctors need as much as everyone else.
INTEGRITY
Honoring autonomy and trusting that each person holds the wisdom to find their own solutions
COMPASSION
I believe that by showing compassion, I can help you develop self-compassion.
OPTIMISM
I believe the client can make changes, even when it is difficult.
