Hi! I'm Ashley.


I am a proud Pediatric Intensive Care physician and Certified Life Coach for physicians. I serve as an APD for a Pediatric Residency Program and am involved in wellness and burnout prevention initiatives for faculty and residents within the medical school.

I am married to my college sweetheart and we have two amazing boys. I have a passion for movement and whole-person wellness. I love spending time outside with my family, whether on the boat in the summer, hiking nearby trails, or playing in the snow during the winter months.

My journey

Physician Life Coach Dr. Ashley Sandeen

After working for years to achieve many of my career and life aspirations, I was surprised by the thoughts and feelings I had once I got there. I was overwhelmed, exhausted, lacked joy and contentment, and felt inadequate in both my career and home life. Life events further magnified these feelings to the point I no longer recognized the person I was, or the life I had worked so hard to create. Through a women physicians CME event, I became exposed to life coaches that focused on physicians and began working with a coach myself. That experience has completely transformed my life. Now, years later, I have become certified in life coaching and have a passion to share the knowledge and tools I have learned with physicians at all levels of training and practice.
