In the course of their conversation, Keith and Dr. Shallcross discuss how commonly used, well-meaning, yet cookie-cutter wellness and self-care techniques cannot get to the core of the moral distress and burnout being experienced by healthcare professionals at this time in history. The solution to the many dangerously ubiquitous challenges to the health and well-being of thousands of healthcare professionals worldwide lies in addressing both systemic issues and individual narratives that stand in the way of healing. Dr. Shallcross's "Joy in Practice" online course offers a comprehensive yet efficient approach to achieving real change.

She has devoted much of her career to exploring the core dimensions of human resilience and purpose. In 2015, she embarked on a mission to change the landscape of healthcare practitioner training. She has carefully crafted resources across educational modalities, from one-on-one services, to dynamic presentations and transformative workshops.

In 2022, Dr. Shallcross expanded her services to create Restore Health Academy, an accessible, online resource grounded in cutting-edge clinician well-being approaches. She is committed to foregrounding gold-standard, evidence-based strategies in all her training, including cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based practices.
