I’m so glad you asked! I would love to define that for you and share with you what you can expect to experience when you work with me!

What is coaching?
Coaching is a process where a coach supports a client to achieve specific goals by providing guidance and training that helps them to set goals that take them from where they are now to where they want to be.
According to the American Holistic Nurses Association, nurse coaches work with the whole person using principles and modalities that integrate body-mind-emotion-spirit-environment to promote health, wellness, and wellbeing while they facilitate their client’s growth and healing. Nurse coaches are supportive and encouraging, building on the client’s strengths rather than attempting to correct weaknesses. Nurse coaches provide guidance and resources to the client who is the expert on their own needs and choices.
