Dr. Olson understands these struggles and found her own path to well-being through Mind Body Medicine.
I know these feelings intimately—the physical illness of dissatisfaction, the soul-deep distress of feeling my agency as a physician reduced, my patient care constrained by conventional training, the medical system, and insurance. I nearly walked away from medicine to attend art school.
Everything changed in 1997, when I discovered Mind Body Medicine and Ayurveda with Dr. Deepak Chopra. This training expanded my identity as a physician and a woman in medicine. I learned to offer holistic, patient-centered solutions beyond my conventional training—prevention and reversal of disease through lifestyle, nutrition, and self-care. I understood deeply that mind, body, and spirit are inseparable, and their alignment shapes health and wellbeing.
By integrating Mindfulness and Mind Body Medicine with Endocrinology, I transformed my own health, rekindled my love for medicine, and improved outcomes for my patients. My work became prosperous again—not just financially, but in purpose and fulfillment. Patients saw the value and invested in having me as their doctor. I believe when we, as healers cultivate our own wellbeing and expand our offerings, we create more abundance- for ourselves and those we serve. My husband Dr. Eric Olson, an orthopedic surgeon, also trained in Mind Body Medicine and found renewed satisfaction in his work.
My Holistic Solution:
EmpowerHer is my Foundational Mind Body Medicine Training program for women in medicine. This unique and transformational program will offer the methodology and tools required to rapidly incorporate Mind-Body Medicine, Mindfulness and Woman-centered empowerment into medical practice.

This program will provide you with the knowledge and skills to:
- Shift perspective from disease-centric to a whole-person-centered approach.
-
Become agile at evaluating the interplay of mind-body interactions that affect health outcomes.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS COURSE
I highly recommend this for any woman physician. We are so busy taking care of patients, family and everyone around us. This gives us the resources to help take care of ourself in the process.
Dr. Olson did a phenomenal job integrating biomedical and natural medicine with your cultivation and coaching wisdom-all presented with such clarity, vulnerability and such sparkling presence!! So immensely needed in this complex times
I am an advanced practice nurse practitioner. I have taken many courses in my life. This is the best course in health and holism I have ever experienced.
I learned that it is good to take time for myself and that I shouldn't feel guilty about it when I do it. I learned many of my obstacles were self-made.
I really appreciated the spirituality aspect of this course.
I learned to take small steps. You don't have to change your life overnight. To do small things and to keep at them builds a different way of being who we are.
Dr. Olson has a passion for learning, educating and empowering women, and in this pursuit lifts us all to be our best selves. As a physician, she is a compassionate healer and visionary for what is important for “wellness”, by emphasizing “the whole person”- understanding that mind and body are inseparable and the necessity of this integration for living one’s best life.
Dr. Olson's course has been an invaluable experience, providing me with tools that extend beyond my roles as an educator and healthcare provider. It has offered profound insights and practical techniques that I can apply not only in my professional practice but also in my personal life. Through the knowledge and skills gained, I have learned how to approach the mind and body with greater kindness and compassion, fostering a deeper sense of balance and well-being.
As a physician who has worked with Dr. Olson for years, I found her previous course transformative. She treats each participant with the same thoughtful care she gives her patients. She’ll do the same for you.
I have had the privilege of being an endocrine colleague of Dr. Olson for two decades. Dr. Olson is very professional and compassionate and offers patients both conventional and integrative medical options.
Dr. Olson's course offers a vision for a new empowered health care system. Through stories, including her own personal experiences, she weaves together scientific research with integrative medical approaches. We experienced, and learned, simple life/health changing tools. I left every class energized! I can hardly wait to apply them in my personal life, and in my work.
