Musings: An Introduction

Hi, I’m Karen. I am a transformational nurse coach. I have board certifications in both holistic nursing and nurse coaching, and extensive training in transformative coaching.  What this means for you is that I have the skills needed to meet you where you are on your journey and guide you as you take the next steps on your path. 

My holistic training means that we will be able to work together in all areas of your life. Together, we will address your wellness issues and set appropriate goals. But our work will go far beyond that. We will explore anything and everything that affects your journey -  lifestyle, work, hobbies, relationships, spirituality, sexuality, and any other aspects of your life that are important to you. 

My coaching training means that I am here to hold space for you and co-create a plan that will help you reach the wellness goals that are important to you. I am not here as an expert - you are the expert in your life. I am not here to judge you - I will meet you where you are and we will work with that as our starting point. The coaching container is sacred space to me. My aim is to make you feel totally safe in sharing anything with me that will help you on this journey. I am here as your coach, your sounding board, your support, and your biggest cheerleader. At the same time, if I feel that it is in your best interest to tell you something, I won’t hesitate to say it, even if it’s not what you want to hear. 

When we are in a coaching session, the only thing that matters is for you to receive everything I can give you to further your journey down your unique path. That is my calling…my purpose…my mission.
