About me & how coaching works...
Get to know me...
My name is Erin, and I am someone who loves to connect with people on a personal level. I serve clients as a Nurse Coach, but my past includes a career as a bachelor's prepared registered nurse for 19 years in the acute care hospital setting across many specialty areas.
I love the outdoors and the feeling of being able to get out there and do the things that make me feel alive! Through my own routine health challenges, I've learned that how I care for myself behind the scenes has a lot to do with how I feel, what I'm capable of, and how I show up in my everyday life. We hear a lot about what we should be doing for our health. Eat better. Move more. Get enough sleep. Manage stress. And while those things matter, knowing what to do and actually living it are two very different things. Sometimes the changes we need seem simple, yet putting them into practice can feel surprisingly hard. Sometimes, what we're dealing with goes much deeper than the habit we're trying to change. When our health, mindset, or a life circumstance affects the things we love, the work we do, or the way we see ourselves, it can challenge more than just our physical well-being. It can leave us questioning who we are, what matters to us, and how we move forward. I've learned that everyone experiences these challenges differently. We all have our own circumstances, frustrations, motivations, and starting points, and I believe that's where meaningful change begins—not with another list of things we should be doing, but with a better understanding of ourselves and where we are right now. That's the heart of what I believe in: meeting yourself where you are, figuring out what matters to you, and discovering what moving forward looks like for you. And if you have a stubborn streak like I do, you might find that it comes in handy. Just remember, sometimes the real work isn't about pushing harder. It's about getting curious, looking at things differently, and being willing to learn along the way. Wherever you are, start there, and that's where I'll meet you.
How coaching works...
1: Meeting you where you are
Begin with a personalized session where we'll discuss what life looks like for you right now, and talk about what your goals, challenges, or ideas are. We'll discuss what you think might be getting in the way, and what you've already tried, and overall, we will get really clear on what the current situation actually is. (I require two sessions before signing a client: Meeting you where you are, and Strategy & Plan)
2: Strategy & Plan
Whether you're needing foundational level attention because you are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure, you're actively ready for change but find yourself repeating the same patterns, or if you're ready to go further and discover new things - this is where we figure out and pinpoint the gaps between where you are, and where you want to be. The general direction of the work ahead will be presented.
3: Coaching Sessions
Engage in weekly one-on-one coaching sessions where we dive into targeted discussions, and the real work takes place! These sessions provide a consistent space for growth, and actionable steps toward your goals. You are always in the driver's seat, and nothing is rigid here. If a detour shows up, we take it. Change often takes us in directions we did not expect, and as your nurse coach, I'm here for it all.
4: Support
Beyond our regular sessions, we'll have intentional check-ins so we can take a raw look at what's going well, and what still needs attention. You'll be able to connect with me via email for any quick questions, or if you need a moment of motivation!
