The Way to Serve In Health Care Without Losing Yourself

Give and Receive is  guide for healthcare professionals who want to stay in the profession they were called to, not as shadows of themselves, but as whole, thriving individuals whose service is sustainable for years to come.

 

What people are saying about Give and Receive

“How much should we give, and how far should we go? This book helped me understand how to find that balance, so I can be a better provider to my patients while caring for my own emotional, mental, and physical health. I recommend it to everyone in the medical care chain.”

—Dr. Claude Louis, Primary Care Physician

Burnout is reshaping healthcare — pushing passionate professionals to the edge, and too often, out of the work they once loved. I have seen the toll it takes: the exhaustion, the moral distress, the quiet questioning of “Can I keep doing this?”

You give everything to your work — but the cost has been your energy, your joy, and sometimes, even your well-being and your life.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

Give and Receive is my stand in that fight. It’s my way of ensuring you that you can serve with your whole heart without burning out — by protecting your energy and creating balance from the inside out. 

About the Book

Give and Receive​

Give and Receive is a call to action for healthcare professionals who give their all and are paying for it with their health, joy, and identity.

Burnout doesn’t happen because you don’t care enough. It happens because you’ve been told to keep giving without learning how to receive. This book shows you a different way — a way to serve with your whole heart without losing yourself. 

Drawing from my own journey through medicine, nursing, and public health, I share practical tools, grounded strategies, and a mindset shift that can change how you live and work. You’ll learn how to protect your energy, set boundaries without guilt, and reconnect with the passion that brought you to this profession in the first place.

This is not another self-care checklist.

It’s a blueprint for building a balanced, sustainable life in healthcare — one where you can keep making a difference while living a life you don’t need to recover from.

If you’re ready to keep serving without burning out, this is your book.

 

About Me

Hi, my name is Perrette

I am on a mission to help healthcare professionals reclaim their power, break free from exhaustion and burnout, and build a balanced life where their work is sustained by strength, guided by purpose, and driven by intentional action.

I am a dreamer, a fighter, and an uplifter. I live with determination, face challenges head-on, and lean on a resilience forged in my hardest days. I believe healthcare professionals deserve a life they don’t need to recover from.

I earned my medical degree from Notre Dame University of Haiti before moving first to the United States and later to Canada, where I began again by completing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Determined to expand my impact, I went on to earn a master’s degree in public health from the University of Montréal, specializing in health systems and policy. While I value the strategic vision of public health, my deepest fulfillment comes from creating deep human connection.

Events

Perrette shares her powerful approach to balance, service, and well-being in a way that inspires, educates, and transforms.

Whether it’s a healthcare conference, an educational institution, a library event, or an organizational training, her talks create space for honest conversations about:

  • Burnout in healthcare—and how to break the cycle

  • The real difference between wellness and well-being— and why this distinction is critical to the future of healthcare

  • What it takes to create a balanced life in demanding environments.

These conversations can spark awareness and drive real change.

  • How to break the cycle of burnout and reclaim your energy

  • How to move beyond surface-level “wellness” and embrace true well-being
