About 

Nurturing Nurses was established in 2018 in response to an identified need for nurses and health organisations to be able to access fresh and innovative approaches to professional and personal development.
This desire came about from witnessing a number of organisations and individual nurses struggling to meet the increasing demands in aged, community care and acute healthcare resulting from client, regulatory and legal requirements.
While professional and workplace coaching has been an accepted practice in the corporate and business world for many years, the healthcare sector is just beginning to see the benefits of its emerging leaders being supported with a workplace coach.

Qualified Professional Coach - The Life Coach Academy
I became an accredited professional coach so that I could assist others in becoming the best version of themselves they can be – this is a very rewarding and fulfilling role and I love helping others make positive changes in their own lives.
As a registered nurse I understand the joys and pressures that come from our profession and coaching can be the perfect support for those of you who feel stagnant in your job and want someone to help them get unstuck , those of you who are unhappy with their current situation and might even be questioning an entire career change, or if you are nearing retirement and want to stay involved in nursing, just without the demanding physical tasks and long hours
