Physician. Coach. Author.
Helping high-achieving women build lives they actually love.
About
The physician who treats
the whole woman
Dr. Aaliya Yaqub trained at Stanford Medicine and built her career at the intersection of health and human performance. As Chief Medical Officer at Thrive Global, she led the science behind one of the world’s foremost well-being movements. As a physician at Meta, she worked alongside thousands of people navigating the pressures of elite careers.
What she found in both roles was the same story: extraordinarily capable women achieving everything they were supposed to achieve — and still feeling like something essential was missing.
Now she combines her clinical expertise with executive coaching to help high-performing women reconnect with themselves — their health, their ambition, their joy. Not through optimization or hustle. Through clarity, boundaries, and permission to actually thrive.
At the Forward Health Center, San Francisco
“High achievement and deep well-being are not in opposition. My work is helping women discover they can have both — and that they deserve both.”— Dr. Aaliya Yaqub, MD
