With a Master of Science in Nursing specializing in holistic nurse coaching and a commitment to evidence-based holistic healing, I blend the art and science of wellness to help my clients flourish from within.

battling burnout AS A NURSE 

As a nurse during the challenging times of the pandemic, my focus was solely providing compassionate care to those in need. Every day, I dedicated myself to supporting my patients, pouring out empathy and expertise to help them through their toughest moments.

Burnout is often seen as a rite of passage in healthcare (and beyond), an almost expected part of the job. However, I've come to realize that this perception is flawed—it's not normal, nor should it be accepted as inevitable.

In the midst of my own journey through burnout and subsequent healing, I began to question this belief. The toll it took on my well-being and the quality of care I could provide highlighted the urgent need for change.

Burnout isn't a badge of honor; it's a clear sign that something needs serious attention.

That's why I made the decision to go back to school in 2021 to earn my Master's in Holistic Nurse Coaching. It was a pivotal moment where I focused on reinventing how I cared for myself before caring for others. This education emphasized science-backed holistic approaches that prioritize mental, emotional, and physical well-being, enabling me to cultivate a more sustainable and fulfilling career as a nurse and in life as a human being.

A 3 YEAR LIFE SHIFT 

Embracing self-care wasn't JUST about taking breaks or practicing relaxation techniques; it was about recognizing my own value and the importance of replenishing my physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental reserves.

Through this experience, I witnessed firsthand the power of holistic nurse coaching to facilitate genuine transformation. It's more than a profession—it's a calling to guide others on their unique paths to healing and wellness. This calling has become my mission, dedicated to helping others unlock the same potential for growth and healing that I've embraced in my own journey.

This journey has prepared me to create "Hope with Kelly," where I integrate these holistic principles to provide compassionate support and evidence-based strategies for individuals seeking healing and renewal. It's a place where hope is cultivated, and transformation flourishes, empowering others to embrace holistic health and well-being.

During this transformative journey, holistic nursing became my pathway to revitalization. I gradually overcame my burnout, benefiting both my professional practice and personal well-being.
