Hi there, I'm Laura!

​

I am so glad you're here! Let me tell you a little about me. I've been working in healthcare since 2015 and have had a wide variety of professional and personal experiences in health and wellness care. Currently, I work as a board-certified critical care registered nurse in a cardiovascular intensive care unit at a large, urban hospital, and I have recently become a holistic health coach. Nursing care is often focused on immediate survival and stabilization. However, there is a clear need for holistic support extending beyond those critical moments to promote sustained health and wellness at every stage of life. Through my nursing career, I recognized the need to bridge the gap between the complexities of acute and critical care settings and the holistic support each individual needs as a human to thrive.

​

WiseHeart Institute makes a meaningful impact on healthcare and the professional sustainability of nursing practice through a wide variety of educational offerings and holistic health coaching. For nurses, holistic health coaching can create a personalized framework addressing burnout, chronic overwhelm, compassion fatigue, and the unspoken physical and mental tolls of a nursing career. Rather than focusing on surface-level coping techniques, I want to help nurses address professional and personal challenges and develop individualized, sustainable systems integrating self-care and wellness strategies into their daily lives. Working in a critical care environment, I understand the many challenges bedside nurses face. This lived experience enables me to provide deeply connected holistic health coaching services and also create relevant health and wellness educational offerings and community resources.

 

At WiseHeart Institute, I serve everyday people alongside healthcare professionals by providing holistic health coaching and comprehensive educational resources in a space where science, wisdom, and compassion coexist.
