Nurse / Advanced Practice Nurse

Bio

I have been a nurse since 1996, and have worked in a variety of clinical settings, specializing in home health, community health and case management, with additional experience in public health, hospice, and nursing education.
Having been there myself, I understand what burnout looks and feels like, and having support for the recovery process is a wonderful gift. While I did not have a nurse coach to help me navigate those dark waters, I did indeed have a life coach who truly assisted me in coming out on the other side, and I can only imagine how much more powerful it would have been if my coach had been an experienced nurse!
I am a Certified Professional Coach, and am also certified as a Swedish Massage Practitioner, Kripalu Yoga Instructor, and Laughter Yoga Leader. I have previous experience studying the visual arts and music. With equal passion for nursing and coaching, I translate that dual passion into a desire to help nurses live the most healthy, balanced and satisfying lives possible.
Writing is one of my other passions in life, and I am an editorial contributor for several nursing and health websites, and have maintained my award-winning blog, Digital Doorway, since 2005. I have also been published in several non-fiction books about nursing.
As a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader and Laughter Professional, I feel that personal transformation can be fun, lighthearted and joyful. Therefore, the coaching relationship can reflect these qualities while simultaneously exploring the depths of your needs, desires and goals.
In my own life, I have experienced loss, tragedy and trauma, grief, joy, extensive travel, marriage, parenting, enormous personal changes and challenges, and a deep desire for service to others. I feel that my nursing, writing and coaching can have an impact on the personal, organizational, local, regional and global levels, and it is my joy and humble honor to offer my services to you.
The most important things in my life are family, love, service, play, compassion, friendship, healthy living, self exploration without self-indulgence, and personal and planetary healing.
I do not impose my beliefs on others. Rather, I guide my clients to identify what’s most important to them as they create and manifest their own life vision.
