About

Eliza Humphreys, MD, MPH

Your Partner and Coach

I am a board-certified pediatrician, Certified Life Coach and founder of Partner Coach MD. In addition to my role as a practicing pediatrician, I help health care workers find peace and perspective after a challenging clinical event. Realizing I was spending as much time distracted by my work and events related to my patients when I was out of the office as I was when I was actually in the office was the first step to regaining focus and flow in the job I had worked so hard to attain. Now, I’m ready to help others avoid wasting any more time on doubt, worry, fear or overwhelm—especially when something unexpected has happened.
