Hi, I'm Vanessa

I'm Dr. Vanessa Calderón. I’m a physician, certified professional coach and resiliency expert. I help people create wholehearted success they can be proud of.  

Learning to say no and set healthy boundaries has been a pivotal point in my own journey.

After my maternity leave was cut short by a staffing emergency in my ER Department and my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, I was on a fast road to burnout.

When I started to get physical symptoms from my stress that was a direct result of me saying Yes to everyone and everything - I knew I had to make a change.

Through coaching, it became evident that the choices I had been making didn't reflect my values.

So, I chose to stop being a victim of my circumstances and I shifted.

I began to set healthy work boundaries that allowed me to remain an effective leader without burning out.

I am now living a wholehearted life. I have a great career I love as a professional coach and physician leader; I have a strong and supportive marriage; I have a great relationship with my kids, and I'm present for my mom and able to help her navigate her medical needs.

And I now teach other high-achieving women how to navigate life, careers, and leadership without burning out in the process.
