CanWell Integrated Care

Cohort 8 Graduate

I have been nursing for almost 20 years, starting my career in NZ and then moving to Canada in 2013. Majority of my nursing has been working in Oncology/Hematology care in the hospital setting. I spent almost 4 years working in the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver, BC as a Primary Care Nurse, supporting those living with mental health and addiction. Supporting and guiding individuals and families through some of life's most challenging health journey's such as Cancer, Addiction, Grief and Loss has always been my passion. It is a privilege and honour to be a part of such an intimate and vulnerable life experience. 

Business Overview

I have recently started CanWell Integrated Care. An Integrated Nursing practice that aims to fill the healthcare gap for people navigating life-altering events and diagnosis. CanWell Integrated Care creates space and provides opportunity to care for the whole person during some of life's most challenging health journeys. It incorporates 1:1 virtual or in-person Integrated Nurse Coaching, consulting, education, and counselling. As well as offering group healing circles and workshops for Cancer Wellness, and Grief and Loss. Integrated Nursing care empowers individuals to find a balance within and learn to live well while navigating and processing their health journey. It is an absolute honour and privilege to be part of this journey with them.

Testimonial

"I came across the The CIINDE Comprehensive Holistic Nurse Coach and Consultant program at the beginning of my "mid-life quest". After the death of our infant daughter, I was feeling stuck with my nursing and had a vision for offering more for my community. I did not know how to make this vision a reality or where to start. By completing The CIINDE program it gave me the confidence to take the leap. It created space and gave me permission to prioritise self-care and reflection, to really dive deep in to what I was searching for and how I was going to achieve it. The CIINDE program gave me permission to believe in and be my authentic self, personally and professionally."
