What is a Women's Health Nurse Coach?

If you’re navigating burnout, fatigue, hormonal shifts, or the emotional aftermath of chronic stress or betrayal, you may be longing for something more than symptom management. You need a deeper kind of healing. A place to be seen, heard, and held in all you’ve been through.

That’s where a Women’s Health Nurse Coach comes in.

We are registered nurses trained and board-certified in holistic coaching. We don’t just treat symptoms—we listen deeply, hold space for your story, and help you reconnect with your inner clarity and power.

This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about partnering with you to support real, sustainable well-being—body, mind, and soul.

A Whole-Person Approach to Women’s Health

Unlike a quick doctor’s visit, nurse coaching sessions are spacious, grounded, and centered on you.

A Women’s Health Nurse Coach blends science, clinical knowledge, and coaching skills with a trauma-informed lens. We draw on the core competencies defined by the American Holistic Nurses Association, which include presence, deep listening, behavior change strategies, and integrative health practices (AHNA, 2013).

We are trained to guide women in shifting the root causes of chronic depletion, including:

  • Stress, sleep, and energy regulation

  • Hormonal changes and cycle disruption

  • Nervous system overload and trauma responses

  • Emotional burnout and boundary collapse

  • Chronic illness and autoimmune flares

  • Disconnection from self, body, or inner knowing

This work is not prescriptive—it’s collaborative. We walk alongside you as you define healing on your terms.

What Makes Nurse Coaching Different?

Nurse Coaches are licensed nurses who are also trained coaches. That means we combine the science of the body and healing with the art of listening and caring.

In their foundational text, The Art and Science of Nurse Coaching, Dossey and colleagues (2016) describe nurse coaching as a practice rooted in relationship, self-awareness, and co-created transformation. You are not a problem to be solved—you are a whole, capable human being with a story that matters.

We believe in your agency. We hold space for your body’s wisdom. And we trust that small, intentional shifts can ripple into profound change.

Lifestyle Practices That Heal

Many of the women we support are tired of being told their symptoms are “just stress” or “part of getting older.” They’re looking for more than medication—they want to understand how to support their health through holistic, evidence-informed practices.

We integrate the pillars of Lifestyle Medicine into our work, including:

  1. Nourishing food that supports your energy and hormones

  2. Movement that honors your current capacity

  3. Restorative, evidence-based sleep strategies

  4. Nervous system support and stress reduction

  5. Meaningful connection and safe relationships

  6. Substance reduction when needed (ACLM, 2023)

Combined with a trauma-informed coaching relationship (Van der Kolk, 2014), these practices become a way to reclaim your life—not just survive it.

Healing Is a Process—Not a Prescription

We work with educated, capable, and strong women— often exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They’re at a crossroads. Something has to change.

If this is you, as a Women’s Health Nurse Coach, I offer a space to reconnect to your own pace, rhythm, needs, and desires. A space where you don’t have to perform or explain. A space to come home to yourself.

You're Not Alone—and You're Not Broken

You may be burned out, but you’re not beyond repair. You may feel depleted, but you’re not empty.

There is a version of you who feels vibrant, resourced, and alive—and she’s already within you.

I’m here to help you find her again.
