"When I started the Comprehensive Holistic Nurse, Nurse Coach & Consultant certificate program, I never imagined how profoundly it would shift not only my nursing practice, but my entire way of being. I began seeking tools to support others--and I am finding deep healing and empowerment within myself. It has given me the confidence to trust my intuition, honour my gifts, and step into leadership as a holistic nurse."

RN, BScN, MEd
Current Student, Cohort 10
I'm a perioperative RN who has been in the nursing profession for 26 years and has held several positions from front line to leadership in acute-care, various public health sectors, and academia. Currently, I work as a Learning and Development Specialist for VHA Home Healthcare and I am also a Program Advisor for the OR Program and Clinical Facilitator at Humber College in Ontario, Canada.
The last year and a half I have been on a path of deep personal and spiritual transformation. After experiencing a spiritual awakening, I felt a powerful call to explore healing beyond the physical body--through energy work, intuition, and holistic practices. This led me to become a Reiki practitioner and to begin integrating more soul-aligned care into my life and work.
I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals who are seeking balance, clarity, and a return to their authentic, empowered selves. Through personalized care that honours mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing, my aim is to guide clients from the inside out.
My approach integrates evidenced-informed nursing, Reiki healing, mindfulness practices, and lifestyle coaching to support clients to regulate stress, manage pain and or chronic conditions, and reconnect them to their inner resilience and work with their strengths.
Currently, I am working toward opening my independent holistic nursing practice. My vision is to collaborate with like-minded professionals, and to eventually expand to hosting wellness retreats, group healing sessions, and community workshops rooted in conscious living and integrative health.
"The courses at The CIINDE has been content rich, heart centred, and deeply aligned with my core values as a healthcare professional. The Business course gave me the clarity and confidence, and tools to befing building my independent holistic nursing practice with purpose and authenticity. I am very grateful for how The CIINDE is helping me step fully into what I truly feel is my purpose."
