RPN
Cohort 6 Graduate
I am a Registered Practical Nurse with the College of Nurses of Ontario and an Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN) with Congo-Kinshasa College of Nurses. I have been in nursing for 28 years, and my nursing career started from Congo-Kinshasa as a Registered Practical Nurse and Registered Nurse with a focus in Neuro-Psychiatry nursing. I currently practice as a Registered Practical Nurse, and a Holistic Nurse Coach and consultant in Ontario. My interest in Mental Health, Chronic Stress, trauma, and the brain had led me to get certifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Traumatic stress cares, compassion inquiry, and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner training.
Over years, I provided care to patients with physical and mental disabilities, complex cares, maternal and infants illnesses, infectious diseases, Chronic health and women issues, mental health and neurological conditions from a variety of healthcare services, such as communities, agencies, hospitals, and rehabilitation settings. In addition, I worked in leadership positions with staff, local communities, organizations, and patients for primary care providing education to promote healthy lifestyle and prevent diseases. Education and coaching being a vehicle of empowering others with knowledge, experiences, and expertise to take care of their well-being, I currently work as an Advisor at The Canadian Institute of Integrative Nursing Development & Education (CIINDE) where I journey with nurses who would like to learn and implement holistic nursing care for themselves and to support their patients in the same way.

Testimonial
"The Holistic Nurse Coach and Consultant Program at The CIINDE has been a transformative journey—both personally and professionally. It became the space where I found the holistic tools I had been searching for to support my own healing and growth. This program gave me something I deeply needed: a sense of belonging. It was a safe and compassionate environment where I could express my stress, feel seen, and receive genuine validation and understanding. As a nurse, I was finally given permission to show up authentically, to be creative, and to prioritize myself—not just as a healthcare professional, but as a human being. Through this experience, I was encouraged to care for myself just as deeply as I care for others. My lifestyle changes were supported and celebrated, and I was empowered to take bold, meaningful steps toward my own well-being. Perhaps the most powerful impact was the inspiration and confidence I gained to create my own holistic business—a space designed to support individuals struggling in silence with chronic stress, pain, and trauma. The education, mentorship, and community I received at CIINDE helped me channel my personal healing into a purpose-driven path to serve others. Thanks to this program, I now care for myself and for others in a more comprehensive, compassionate, and integrative way. It has truly changed the direction of my life and career—for the better, and for good."
