I’ve been there
Hi, I’m Dr. Kate Baldwin
I’m a mother of two kids (and a Goldendoodle!), a wife, a pediatrician, and a certified coach. I love reading, quiet mornings with coffee, and being by the water.
I have been part of the medical community for over 20 years. I have worked in a tertiary care academic hospital and in community-based clinics. My range of experiences within the academic environment, the health care system, and the overall culture of medicine will allow me to support you with deep understanding in my role as your physician coach.
“This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people directions to places they’ve never been.”
This is the kind of support that would have done wonders for me when I was struggling.
While looking into opportunities for personal development, I was introduced to coaching. When I first experienced being coached, I was amazed by the process. It allowed me to connect to my own wisdom and make empowered choices in a way that I had not been able to before, despite having tried therapy and many forms of self-care. I immediately saw the enormous potential for coaching to help doctors at any point in their life and career. This was the kind of support that would have done wonders for me when I was struggling.
It is my honour to now be able to serve my peers as they move forward on their path to better health, happiness, and fulfilment in all areas of life.

Space
Understanding
At each session, I will meet you wherever you are with deep understanding. I will partner with you to
co-create your path forward, taking into account the pressures and realities of the system you work in. I will help you redefine what success looks like in your life when it is aligned with your truth.
Belief In You
I will always hold you whole, capable, resourceful and creative. You are the expert of your life and only you know what is right. I will help you uncover your wisdom and use it to guide your life. I will believe in you, your goals and your vision even when you can’t see it all clearly yet.
Support
I will be by your side as you create goals and take actionable steps forward on whatever path you choose. I will help you explore what is and is not working as you try out new things.
I will support you in holding yourself accountable in a
gentle way.
