So, what exactly IS Nurse Coaching? And why do you need it?

Nurse Coaching is a partnership between the Nurse Coach (ME!) and the client where we work together to explore what parts of your health and life you would like to improve. We will set goals that inspire you and co-create action steps to get you there!

Nurse Coaching is a way for you to create meaningful changes in your life so you can move toward sustainable health, well-being, and happiness.

A Nurse Coach is a Registered Nurse (RN) or Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who has been trained to integrate the coaching mindset and skillset into their nursing practice. Nurse Coaches are not therapists, but utilize psychology within their practice. Nurse Coaches utilize a whole person approach to healing. This means incorporating the biological, social, psychological, environmental, emotional, and spiritual components of the human experience in order to help clients advance their holistic wellness. Nurse Coaches advance health promotion and illness prevention.

We previously learned what holistic wellness is and is not. Nurse Coaches practice holistic nursing knowing that each person is composed of interrelationships between their bio-psycho-social-spiritual dimensions, they are more than the sum of their parts, and inextricably interconnected with their environment. Holistic wellness is a revolution!! Hippocrates said “The natural healing force in each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”

So what does all this mean for the client? Well, Nurse Coaching is actually client driven. The client is the expert of their body and the areas they would like to improve. This could be high blood pressure, menopausal symptoms, integrating holistic/alternative supplements into their diet, and much more. The Nurse Coach works with the clients to form a plan to achieve their goals, and possibly identify additional areas of concern.
