Spiritual and Holistic Wellness Nurse Coaching uses evidence-based coaching strategies, conversations, and interventions to help clients engage safely and actively in the coaching process. I am Health and Wellness Nurse Coach Board Certified (HWNC-BC) through the Holistic Nurses Association (HNA). I use a purposeful and results-oriented structure and mindset to interact with my clients to challenge them to develop their inner wisdom, identify their values, and transform healthy and sustainable goals into action using the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual model to look at the whole person as a spiritual-human being.
Wellness Nurse Coaching uses principles of positive and hope psychology, lifestyle medicine interventions, appreciative inquiry, motivational interviewing, and goal setting to promote goal achievement in the health and well-being of the whole person and the environment.
Holistic Nursing recognizes that the client is a whole person with elements of the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual that need to be balanced to achieve health and wellness. I am Holistic Nurse Bachelorette Board Certified (HNC-BC) through the HNA and we use conventional and non-conventional principles to approach health and well-being such as coaching, nutrition, guided imagery, meditation, breathing techniques, exercise, art, and other alternative forms of medicine.
Spiritual Nurse Coaching integrates wellness and holistic nursing principles and recognizes the importance of understanding that we are spiritual beings living a human life. Because of this, we are all capable of having profound spiritual experiences, not just subtle ones.
I focus on a person’s spiritual life and experiences such as prayer life, religious life, and experiences such as psi, anomalous, and mystical as taking center stage. These are normal experiences and most people experience them so subtle that they might not even recognize or understand what they are experiencing. Some people are “super-experiencers” where they are open to experiencing several kinds of spontaneous spiritual experiences, while others might recognize a one-time experience.
Please see the “FAQ” page for a list of Spiritual, Mystical, Anomalous, and Psi Phenomena.
These experiences can be confusing, and it can be even more confusing to express them in a way that they or others understand. It can feel isolating when other individuals do not understand these experiences or there can be fear of not being believed, understood, or supported. These types of experiences are supported in major religious texts, including the Bible, for those individuals who choose to relate them to their religious beliefs or who question their own religious beliefs after having such experiences. I encourage and invite individuals who are less educated or experienced in them to be open to understanding.
“You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have extensive training in phenomenology, anomalous, spiritual, and the mystical including a Master in Psychology in Education Spirituality Mind Body from Columbia University, and I am currently finishing my PhD in Integral Noetic Science with an emphasis in Anomalous Studies, and finishing my Psychology and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degrees.
Phenomenology focuses on the importance of capturing “lived experience” through concepts of freedom, free-will, grit, determination, death, resilience, spiritual, and the “unknown” or “not understood,” among others. Phenomenology principles are used in nursing and medicine and have been for decades. Therefore, the Holistic Nursing Association also expresses the need to support individuals in such experiences and provide holistic nursing care and coaching accordingly.
As a super-experiencer myself, I understand the transformation and awakening that can happen. I also know what it is like to be supported by loved ones and other experiencers, but also the trauma that may sometimes occur if a person feels not understood, or because sometimes these spontaneous experiences are not always positive or wanted, thus a trauma response can occur.
As a Spiritual and Holistic Nurse Coach and Phenomenologist, my goal is to help you navigate the phenomenology of the human experience peacefully and with grace.
