Life Coach Gabriella Dennery, MD OMD is passionate about helping busy physicians rediscover the joy of their calling. She draws on her training as a physician, a musician, and an ordained non-denominational minister in addition to health & wellness and life coaching to offer professionals from all walks of life the benefit of her broad experience and deep insights.
The daughter of a psychiatrist mother and a neurosurgeon father, both from Haiti, Gabriella and her five siblings were expected to choose from five noble callings: Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Law, or Agronomy (caring for the delicate soil of Haiti).
Gabriella, an innately gifted healer and teacher, chose Medicine and graduated with honors from Howard University College of Medicine, “The Mecca.” Following her residency in internal medicine at Duke University Medical Center, Gabriella moved to New York City to serve as an attending physician and clinical instructor in Harlem and later as medical director and attending physician at SUNY Downstate Bedford-Stuyvesant satellite clinic in Brooklyn.
Her greatest joy as a primary care physician was supporting her patients, shepherding them to Aha moments, and nurturing positive shifts in perspective that measurably improved their health and wellbeing–a strength that makes Gabriella so effective as a coach.
After more than ten years of practicing internal medicine, Gabriella chose to explore the integration of medicine, music, and ministry to promote better health of her fellow physicians by becoming a physician coach. She successfully coaches physicians to prevent and/or navigate through physician burnout, reach career and personal goals, clarify and take actionable steps to achieve their own personal vision, and is well known for helping doctors at all stages of their careers, from students to residents/fellows to practicing physicians. She maintains her work-life balance by playing percussion and violin, composing music, and enjoying a very fun and fulfilling marriage.

What Gabriella's Clients Say
“Gabriella is a skilled, compassionate, and effective coach. Her experience as a physician, combined with her in-depth understanding for all things Spiritual give her a unique advantage and approach to coaching. Gabriella knows firsthand the struggles, triumphs, and challenges a career in medicine takes us through, and has supported me countless times to navigate them with gentleness and grace. I am grateful for her.”
Kisha Hartwick, MD, OMC
"Gabriella made a profound and lasting impact in a short amount of time. When I was referred to Gabriella, I was getting sick frequently and my family and friends were getting concerned. I'd gotten so used to overworking myself that being sick and tired felt normal. Gabriella stands apart as a coach because of how deeply she cares, how authentic she is, and how carefully she listens, and pays attention to everything said, and unsaid. She's curious and leads with intention. Working with Gabriella made me feel like I was holding up a mirror that let me see me as the best version of myself. I was able to come to incredible realizations and make tangible changes as a result. I was comfortable confiding in Gabriella and always felt she wanted to see me get better and to succeed. She was patient and also knew when and how to push. She held me accountable. I appreciated her care, her honesty, and her humor as well. Gabriella is truly a gift."
- Jess Jardine-Lynch, LMSW

"Gabriella is a great coach to work with! I appreciated her ability to connect quickly with me in mind and spirit and to ask deeper meaningful questions. She has incredible attentiveness to pick up on some of my nonverbal communication and made sure to use that insight to guide additional exploration. I left feeling better knowing that she served me well in discovering some solutions I had not thought of for the issue I was facing."
