WHAT IS A NURSE COACH?
Elaine is not only highly qualified as a nurse practitioner but also has a wide range of certifications in mindfulness, yoga, and group training, giving her a unique ability to meet coaching clients' needs in a comprehensive way.
Unlike most life coaches, nurse coaches have extensive clinical training and medical expertise, allowing for more comprehensive understanding of the mind/body connection.
A nurse coach is the original life coach, helping coaching clients navigate both life and health (mental and physical) challenges, set goals, and live more skillfully.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your 6-week group sessions with us. Your sessions were very helpful to me in understanding internal stressors. To understand that what I
am feeling in the moment can be redirected by taking a little time in finding a focal point, practicing my breathing techniques to reduce the stresses and any negativity that I may be experiencing in the moment. This has helped tremendously in keeping me grounded.”
