Mahmooda Qureshi, MD
My Journey: Over a decade ago, as a primary care physician with a busy practice, small children and a languishing career, I was coached by a physician-coach and transformed from burnout to rekindling my passion for medicine. This led to my becoming a coach for physicians in training, and a Wellcoaches-certified coach in 2020
Professional: I am certified in SMART (Stress Management and Resiliency Training) from BHI, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, and by the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine.
With over 30 years as a busy primary care physician, currently at Mass General Hospital (MGH), consultant at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine (BHI), the Midlife and Menopause clinic / Division of Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School (HMS), I blend clinical, academic, and educational expertise.
As the Codirector of Harvard’s Primary Care Medicine course and the Director and co-creator of Harvard’s Women’s Health and Menopause course, I elevate education of peers and the public
How I Coach: Coaching lends itself to any situation, though my areas of expertise are self-care/work-life balance, individualized career growth, leadership development, group coaching, and exploring life's purpose. I bring my skills as a coach, practicing physician, mind-body & menopause expert to help you thrive aligned with your strengths and values.
Personal: I am Pakistani American and grew up in Uganda, Egypt, Italy, and England. I am fascinated by how culture affects thriving. My faith, family, friends, and cats bring me joy—especially my two teenagers who keep my coaching skills sharp!
My passion is to help people flourish in ways they find meaningful. I bring presence, space, curiosity, and fun to catalyze your transformation.
