    The Nurse Within: Self Healing, Ayurveda, and Integrative Nurse Coaching: Geralyn Retzel MS, BSN, RN, NC-BC, CAP, LMT

    "...when you can get yourself and that parasympathetic nervous system in a calm place, that is when you start healing.   That is when you heal your nervous system, and to calm that nervous system is such an important part of Nursing. And that helps us do our self care, that helps us to regenerate who we are, so we can function day to day. It helps us so that we can love ourselves and each other. It's coming from that calm nervous system that is a primary focus of being human." ~Geralyn Retzel MS, BSN, RN, NC-BC, CAP, LMT Ah Ha Moments • Integrative Nurse Coaches help patients access their inner healer through presence, listening, self-awareness, and whole-person support. • Addressing and calming the nervous system is foundational to healing, with practices such as meditation, sound healing, movement, and stillness supporting wellbeing. • Nurses bring immense value beyond tasks and treatments through education, emotional support, family guidance, and compassionate human connection. • You are already whole and life’s challenges can become opportunities for growth, wisdom, and deeper self-understanding.

    MAR 23

    Nursing's Future: Integrating Coaching, Lifestyle, and Functional Care: Karen Avino, Karen Laing, Elizabeth Sult, and Thomas Sult

    "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 Avino Ah 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.

    Psilocybin, Presence & the Power of Nursing: Anna Desmarais BSN, RN, HWNC-BC

    “I've never seen this type of healing in the conventional healthcare system. Never. It's so profound and so fast and long lasting, and it's just absolutely mind blowing every time. Not always, though, isn't this effective for everybody, right? It's not a magic pill or a cure all or anything like that.  But for the people that it does work for, they say that everything they tried didn't work, but this was it.  It brings me to my soul work, which is being able to be a bridge or a facilitator, to help somebody heal, and that is what lights me up.” ~Anna Desmarais BSN, RN, HWNC-BC Ah Ha Moments Integrative Nurse Coaching can reconnect you to your “why.”  It’s OK to shift the way you show up and practice as a Nurse, connecting back to your purpose can help you discover new ways to find joy and a renewed passion for your work.Anna’s biggest Integrative Nurse Coach Academy Nurse Coach Certificate Program takeaway: hold space, listen deeply, use silence well, and ease up on the “fix it” reflex.It’s not all private practice.

    Ignite Your Impact with Lifestyle Nursing: Karen Laing DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, DipACLM, HWMC-BC, CHES, FPCNA

    "...we sell hope, because lots of times patients will come to us, they've got the med list this long, and they just think it's going to keep getting longer. We let them know that this is not what it has to continue being. We can actually make changes, and lifestyle medicine providers will, as appropriate, de-prescribe or decrease the dose on these medications.  And from the Nursing perspective, it's about being very specific, so making the recommendations instead of saying, you know, eat more fruits and vegetables. You know, well, what's realistic for you at this time? What are you ready to do? So Nurse Coaches are the best at this because we're already used to being able to assess where the client is and what they're ready to make a move on." ~Karen Laing DNP, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, DipACLM, HWMC-BC, CHES, FPCNA Ah-Ha Moments Explore how Lifestyle Nursing and Integrative Nurse Coaching blend the art and science of Nursing to prevent, and even help reverse chronic disease with evidence-based lifestyle interventions.Learn the six pillars of lifestyle medicine:  sleep, stress, movement, nutrition, social connection, and avoiding risky substance, and how Lifestyle Nursing makes them practical and doable for real patients and real Nurses.Hear how Nurses can use a Lifestyle Nursing framework to “sell hope,” collaborate with patients, and confidently stay within scope while talking about food, movement, and behavior change.Discover how Integrative Nurse Coaching + Lifestyle Nursing give Nurses structure, language, and heart-centered tools to support patients, communities, and themselves.Feel inspired as Karen reminds us that Nurses are powerful, trusted advocates who can model lifestyle change and help transform a broken healthcare system from the inside out.Links and Resources Integrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastLifestyle Nursing: A Lifestyle Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for Nurses courseFunctional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayLifestyle Nursing bookHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention for Advanced Practice bookKaren's emailIntegrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

    Functional Nursing: Tools, Presence, and Hope for Modern Nurses- Thomas Sult MD, IFMCP and Elizabeth Sult BSN, RN, NC-BC

    "A lot of what we do is give patients hope. Give patients hope and listen to them. And that, in itself, is so healing. I think it's so healing and transformative, ...even if they don't get to where they were before, they become the best version of themselves that they can be." ~Elizabth Sult BSN, RN, NC-BC "In conventional medicine, the question is, what's the diagnosis? And once you know the diagnosis, then there's sort of these algorithms that, you try to see if they help. But in functional medicine, once you understand what's the diagnosis, the question is, really, why? Why do you have the diagnosis? And that's where these antecedents, triggers, mediators, all these kinds of ideas come from— to get to the why. But I like to say that the antecedents, triggers and mediators are kind of like Einstein's Theory of Relativity, right? Because an antecedents from one frame might be a trigger from another frame. And so, you know, getting to the real root cause. You might think, Oh, I got to the molecular medicine cause. But actually, it was a spiritual mal-alignment that caused the biochemical issue, because it caused all this stress and strain and all that trickles down to the molecular medicine."  ~Dr. Tom Sult MD, IFMCP Ah-Ha Moments Functional Nursing asks a different question: Not just what’s the nursing diagnosis? But, why is this happening?  And what does this body need to heal? It’s about raising wellness so illness has less space to take holdThe Functional Nurse listens for patterns, stories, and turning points. Elizabeth and Tom highlight how powerful it is when Nurses can really listen, and help patients connect the dots in their own health journeyFunctional Nursing and Integrative Nurse Coaching are a natural fit. When Nurses combine root-cause thinking with coaching presence, patients feel seen, supported, and empowered to take steps that fit into their busy livesThe nervous system matters deeply. Functional Nurses learn about how long-term stress and fight-or-flight affect digestion, immunity, hormones, and healing, and why joy, safety, and regulation are essential parts of careThis work restores dignity and hope for patients and nurses. Links and Resources Functional Nursing: A Functional Medicine Framework for NursesFunctional Nursing + Lifestyle Nursing Dual Certificate PathwayJust Be Well websiteBook: Just Be Well by Thomas SultEmail for questions: Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.

    Powerful Homeopathy for Nurses: Lauren Briggs BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HN-BC

    "What is homeopathy? I think a lot of people confuse it with home remedies. And it's not necessarily home remedies. It is, not garlic and using turmeric and herbs. Rather, it's its own subset of medicine.  It's an energetic medicine. So everything is ultra diluted in homeopathy. So they do take a mother tincture, or a natural substance, and will dilute that to the point where it's only the energy left of that substance. So we are talking about only the energy, and the way that it works is these ultra dilutions are going to help us to heal the body.”  ~Lauren Briggs BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HN-BC Ah-Ha Moments You can redefine nursing on your own terms. Lauren’s journey from bedside burnout to Integrative Nurse Coach shows that Nurses can create meaningful, holistic careers that light them up.Homeopathy is more than herbs. Discover how this energetic form of medicine works with the body’s natural healing response using the principle of “like cures like."Acute vs. chronic care — there’s a remedy for that.

    Wellness Nurse Revolution: Alison Boser BSN, RN

    Wellness Nurse Revolution: Alison Boser RN  “Everybody wants their employees to be healthy, but being healthy…What does that mean? And that means different things to different people. It's not one size fits all.  It's a really flexible, definition based on your stage of life, where you are. And I think an awareness of wellness as this sort of amorphous different things at different times for people would be fantastic. I think wellness, like capital W wellness, has a bit of a negative connotation that, you must be very thin and muscular and do hot yoga or something, but that's not it.  You know, it's like walking your dog. It's your grandma who can carry your groceries into her house at 95 and she gets them after she goes and plays cards! It's strong communities. I'd love to see all of the skills from Nurse coaching and all the Nurse coaches ripple out like that.” ~Alison Boser, RN AH-HA Moments From Trauma to Transformation: Alison shares her journey from emergency and travel nursing to creating her dream role as a Wellness Nurse—a position she literally spoke into existence.Wellness in Action: Learn how Alison supports hospital staff with coaching, crisis response, mindfulness, group programs, and even “7-minute weightlifting sessions” to make wellness accessible in busy hospital life.Healing the Healers: Through compassion, listening, and presence, she models what it means to show up for others—and herself—while advocating for sustainable, human-centered healthcare systems.Community & Connection: From workplace book clubs to environmental wellness initiatives like composting and recycling programs, Alison weaves community care into hospital culture.The Ripple Effect: By supporting one nurse at a time, the Wellness Nurse Revolution uplifts whole teams, reduces burnout, and redefines what health looks like inside healthcare.Links and Resources Integrative Nurse Coach Certificate ProgramIntegrative Nurse Coaches in ACTION! podcastSeverance by Ling MaAlison's LinkedInAlison's InstagramAlison's Substack***** Integrative Nurse Coach Academy I Integrative Nurse Coach FoundationWe provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting.
