Meet Your Host: Dr Jenn Baxter
I am a Family Physician working and living on the Sunshine Coast. I previously worked as a full-service rural family physician, however following a severe concussion, began my own wellness journey. I now combine my interests in clinical care (ER and mental health work), leadership (presently in the role of Associate Local Medical Director), and physician wellness (as a Peer Support Champion for Vancouver Coastal Health, offering Mindful Self-Compassion Training for healthcare providers, and facilitating retreats).
Discovering and embracing Self-Compassion is one of the most transformative components of my own wellness journey, with profound impacts both personally and professionally. I have completed the Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy 9-month intensive training program offered by the Centre for Mindful Self-Compassion, and now bring this to my work and to my ongoing personal journey.
