​
As a registered nurse, I was taught to use critical thinking skills and the nursing process to care for patients in a hospital setting.
As a Transformative Nurse Coach, I gathered my skills, knowledge, and experience and reposition them for a private setting. I now focus on assessing clients/patients through a whole-person model of care that addresses multiple aspects including physical, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural.
I develop a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential in creating sustainable healthy behaviors through a collaborative coaching model.

What you can expect as the client from

Assess and review obstacles, strengths, and resources
-
Develop small action steps to achieve your goals and adjust as needed
-
To be supported and empowered throughout the coaching process
-
To be in charge of the depth and breadth of exploration and conversation during the coaching sessions
The RN Approach
"Barbi helped me help myself sooo much. She has a true gift in her ability to reach deep into a person's being and ask questions so that I could look at them. I really loved how easy it was to talk in a dialog versus a traditional therapy where I am expected to do most of the talking, with very little interaction. Barbi created a space of comfort, trust and true interest in my wellbeing. She was very professional and worked so hard in between our sessions on more ways she could help me reach my goals."
