About me
A Hybrid Approach: Nurse + Coach.
I am a Registered Nurse and Certified Health Coach in NZ, I am Located on the Hibiscus Coast Of Auckland’s North Shore. I have experience across acute care nursing and mental health and primary care. My work is grounded in integrity, empathy, and partnership.
After years working in acute healthcare, I repeatedly saw the same pattern: highly capable people pushing through exhaustion while carrying responsibility for everyone around them. I founded The nurse health coach to provide "upstream" support—helping people rebuild their foundations BEFORE the decline in mental and physical health becomes the only signal loud enough to be heard.
Neuro-affirming & Trauma-Informed Support:
As someone with lived experience in trauma and neurodivergence, I offer a non-judgmental space where you are understood in context. I provide LGBTQIA+ inclusive care that respects your unique rhythm, helping you achieve your goals on your terms.
THE CLINICAL BRIDGE
Evidence-Informed. Collaborative. Directed by You.
My approach combines nursing clinical expertise with practical, evidence-informed coaching to help you reclaim clarity, resilience, and control over your life.
A Collaborative Strength: I don't work in a vacuum. I value the expertise of your GP, therapist, or specialists. I act as a bridge, helping you translate clinical guidance into practical, actionable steps that work for your real life using tools from nursing and medical expertise to make sure the approach is whole and safe and YOU centred.
On Your Terms: You are already capable. My role is to help you challenge old patterns and equip you with tools to move forward with strength and courage. You remain in the driver’s seat; I provide the clinical map.
A Supportive Partner: I draw on ACT (Acceptance and commitment Tools), CBT (cognitive behavioural tools) and lifestyle medicine to help you regulate stress and strengthen resilience and strengthen your journey into health I walk alongside you, but the momentum comes from you.
Coaching complements, but does not replace, medical or psychological care.
