from Integrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! · host Integrative Nurse Coach Academy | International Nurse Coach Association

"Nurse coaching, as we know, is not only about coaching others, but it's also about self development of the Nurse and helping the Nurse to transform and into greater health and well being for themselves. And how did we think of it?  Well, we certainly have been in the space together in certain conferences and listening to certain programs, and we realize that Nurses have an awful lot of education, experience that they can bring to clients, and use a lot of functional medicine principles as well as lifestyle nursing principles." ~Karen AvinoAh Ha Moments• Integrative Nurse Coaching, Functional Nursing, and Lifestyle Nursing come together to create a powerful, whole-person approach that transforms how nurses support health, healing, and prevention.• Lifestyle Nursing focuses on evidence-based pillars like nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic disease.• Functional Nursing personalizes care by identifying root causes and addressing the mental, emotional, and physiological factors that influence health and healing.• Integrative Nurse Coaching enhances outcomes through presence, deep listening, and partnership, empowering patients to create sustainable lifestyle change.• Together, these approaches shift healthcare from reactive “sick care” to proactive, relationship-based care that restores joy, purpose, and impact in nursing practice.Links and ResourcesIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcast Functional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayLifestyle Nursing: A Lifestyle Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for Nurses courseEpisode 96: Ignite Your Impact with Lifestyle Nursing - Karen Laing DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, DipACLM, HWMC-BC, CHES, FPCNAEpisode 95: Functional Nursing: Tools, Presence, and Hope for Modern Nurses - Thomas Sult MD, IFMCP and Elizabeth Sult BSN, RN, NC-BCEpisode 85: Celebrating Integrative Nurse Coaching - Karen Avino EdD, RN, AHN-BC, HWNC-BCKaren Avino’s email: [email protected] Laing’s email: [email protected] and Tom Sult’s email: [email protected] Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.
