From Burnout to Bright Futures!

You’ve spent years putting others first — now it’s time to focus on you. Whether you’re feeling drained by the demands of the NHS or simply craving something more fulfilling, career change doesn’t have to be scary or overwhelming. At Shaen Mil Ward, we offer coaching designed specifically for UK health professionals who are ready to explore new directions with confidence. We’ll help you reconnect with your strengths, clarify what lights you up, and take practical steps toward a career that fits you. No pressure, no judgment — just real talk, fresh energy, and support every step of the way. Your skills are valuable beyond the ward. Let’s find out where they can take you next.

My Story

I know what it’s like to pour your heart into a healthcare career — and still feel like something’s missing. For years, I followed the expected path, ticking all the boxes, putting others first. But quietly, I was running on empty. Burnout crept in, and with it, the question: Is this really it?

Stepping away from the ward was terrifying — but it opened the door to something far more aligned. Through coaching, I reconnected with who I am beyond my job title. I found joy again, not just in work, but in life. Now, I help others do the same. If you’re ready to explore what else is possible, I’m here — not to push, but to walk beside you. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I’ve worked with nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals across the UK who’ve all said the same thing — “I wish I’d done this sooner.” Whether it’s changing careers completely, finding a new role that finally fits, or simply feeling like yourself again, transformation is possible. And it starts with a single conversation. Coaching isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about creating space to ask the right questions, and building the courage to follow what feels true for you.

Firework Career Coaching Program

The Firework Program is a proven, structured coaching journey designed to help you explore what’s next — without pressure, panic, or pretending. It’s practical, energising, and designed to fit around your real life. By the end, you’ll have clarity, confidence, and a personalised roadmap for what comes next. Through reflective exercises, creative tools, and honest conversations, you’ll reconnect with your values and uncover new possibilities. Whether you’re ready to leap or just starting to question what else is out there, this program meets you where you are. It’s ideal for health professionals feeling stuck, burned out, or simply ready for change. You don’t need all the answers — just the courage to get curious.
