Elizabeth Woods MD is the life coach for women who helps you reset, rebuild, and lead with confidence.
Lead & doctor authentically. Recover from burnout.
Take back your time and joy.
Leadership shouldn’t feel like survival. Let’s rewrite the story.
“I’m tired of being gaslit into thinking ‘resilience’ is the solution to a toxic work environment.”
“If I have to fight this hard to advocate for myself, how can I possibly advocate for others?”
“Even vacations don’t feel restful anymore—I come back more tired than when I left.”
Real women have told me:
Curate a life that celebrates all of you
The system is broken, but the blame always lands on you. “Have you tried being more resilient?” they ask. “Have you tried yoga or [insert meditation app here]?” It’s maddening. Because here’s the truth: burnout isn’t your fault—it’s the system’s.
- Recognize and disrupt the systemic forces fueling their exhaustion.
- Rebuild confidence and self-trust in their leadership abilities.
- Redefine success on their own terms, with joy and fulfillment at the center
Along the way, Dr. Woods has helped hundreds of women:
As a compassionate physician and life coach for women, Dr. Elizabeth Woods is the expert for transforming burnout into bold, authentic leadership. She’s spent over a decade mentoring high-achieving women, combining trauma-informed care with evidence-based coaching to help them reclaim their confidence, rebuild their careers, and lead with purpose.
In 2024, she launched The Physician Reset™ after seeing countless women—herself included—run headfirst into a toxic system that devalued their worth and dismissed their experiences. What started as a passion for mentoring medical students and residents evolved into a mission to empower women leaders to navigate systemic barriers, advocate for themselves, and thrive authentically in every area of their lives.

"Elizabeth never ceases to surprise me with her fierce and unrelenting compassion for her clients as she engages with life coaching. Her active listening and attention to not only the words that I'm speaking but what I'm not saying, and the underlying current of my emotion has been invaluable in helping me recognize what I need for myself.
Gently pointing out errors in my thinking, with kindness and generosity of spirit I know she does this having my best self-interest at heart and I so appreciate her drawing my attention to parts of my thought that are unkind or could be more closely examined for what it's stirring in me and why.
I've found immense value from my coaching sessions with Elizabeth and whole heartedly recommend her for anyone seeking further development and growth as they pursue the life of their dreams."

"Dr. Woods' leadership experience is evident in every coaching session, where her wisdom, kindness, and sense of humor create a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere.
Her ability to foster a non-judgmental environment made me feel completely at ease, allowing me to openly discuss even my deepest fears and most vulnerable thoughts. Through her guidance, I gained a profound understanding of the importance of focusing on the positive aspects of daily life, setting clear end-goals, establishing boundaries, and prioritizing my own needs and well-being.
These insights have been truly life-changing, leading to a happier, more fulfilling, and successful personal and professional journey.
This has been a transformative experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking growth and empowerment."
"The system is broken. It's not your fault. It's not your job to fix it.
I felt more seen and validated during the talk than I have in years of work as an RN and APRN. Dr Woods named the intangible issues we face in healthcare day to day, including the blatant brokenness of our healthcare system and the vicarious trauma and moral injury that accompany it.
I am better equipped to discuss my own experiences and advocate for my personal and professional needs."
