“Somewhere along the way, I lost a piece of me."

I put everyone & everything ahead of my needs

I underestimated the impact of shoving my emotions in a box & not dealing with them

I believed I was the only one who couldn't handle the stress

I kept hearing my internal monologue saying, “what am I doing?” and "Am I just not trying hard enough?"

I need to feel whole and alive again.

If you...

Are an empathetic female physician/professional

Have been in practice long enough to feel like it's a no win

Believe there’s a better way

Then Centre for Physician Wellness is the place for you!

Medicine is at a Turning Point

We are now seeing that the way we did things before is no longer working. Our colleague are burnt out, traumatized, distressed and dying from self-inflicted striving. But the only way our world is going to change is if we start believing in our own capacity to do so. 

You need to find your voice, identify your strengths, reconnect to your passions, find meaningful connection & then speak up to prioritize your health and wellbeing. No one else will.

Meet Dr. Irina

I get it.

You’re an ambitious, empathetic, female powerhouse. A physician. A clinician. A healer. I’m struck by your sheer willpower and strength to overcome and be successful in this very unforgiving environment, with no room for human error.

 
I’m Dr. Irina Mihaescu, founder of Centre for Physician Wellness, and award- winning research and physician advocate for burnout in physicians. As an unapologetic mystic enthusiast, I help you find the magic within the every day, combined with the possibility of a better tomorrow.

I facilitate and teach empathetic female physicians across North America how to STOP MAKING THEMSELVES an AFTER-THOUGHT and start honouring their self-compassion, clarity and integrity.

If you find yourself saying, “I don’t want to hide anymore”, then I am ready to guide you towards finding peace & healing in your life.

Behind the Scenes

I'm originally from the pioneer city of Timisoara, Romania, the first European town with streets illuminated by electric light, the first cinematic projection and even the first asphalt road in Romania.

 Born with a spirit of courage and adventure, bred by the revolution of '89, I have lived, studied, and worked in Poland, Switzerland, Japan, Oxford, Newfoundland, Toronto,
Edmonton, Montreal and everything in between.

It is in these places, amidst different cultures and ways of being in the world, that I found myself and also found medicine.

While for many years I studied Medicine and became a full fledged board-certified Psychiatrist with a whole lot of other Certifications to boot, my career as a Military Psychiatrist lacked the creativity and connection that the Healing and Entrepreneurial space has gifted me.

Not only that, but I found myself in Healing. I found my vision, my voice, my passion, and my purpose. I found my place in the world, where I fit, and how I can make a change.

And today, my work as a Physician Healer, allows me to shape the way my clients see themselves so they can more confidently pursue their own purpose – which is an invaluable gift.

Meet Shannon
Our Co-Director

For over 15 years as a Northwestern-trained board-certified psychiatrist, Shannon Geroso Gritzenbach has taken care of patients in a variety of clinical settings. She’s witnessed and facilitated healing using a range of modalities, including prescribing medications, administering TMS, and providing psychotherapy. When the opportunity for a Sabbatical emerged in May 2021, Shannon transitioned into a new chapter of her career. Her current work is devoted to the Search and Discovery of Magic in everyday life. In addition to nurturing her two daughters and helping her husband, she has reawakened her creative spiritual roots through meditation, learning and community. As the Soul Collective Facilitator Lead, Shannon has become enchanted by the charms cast each week between our speakers and members. She aspires to continue tending these sparks of recollection, so that one day the world will be aglow with Sisterhood.
