About Nina
I'm on a journey. I'm on a journey to complete health ~ not just "not having a disease". I want to feel good in ALL areas of my life and to live out the mission I was put here on earth to accomplish. Therefore, I'm working to strengthen each of my Six Pillars of Health™ ~ Mental, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Social and Financial ~ and I want to teach you how you can also, so you can live your best life ever! I want to help you with my vast healthcare and life experience so you don't have to make the same mistakes that I did.
I have extensive experience in healthcare as a clinical nurse specialist, so I was privileged to see healthcare from the bedside, as well as the broader picture. I was able to see the personal perspective through the entire healthcare continuum, as well as be on many hospital wide and unit based committees. And I am currently seeking to get back to the hospital setting since I miss working with patients and nurses. This will only add to my ability to help people more.
As my career blossomed, symptoms that I had in high school began to worsen. No one cared. No one believed me because I was still successful at whatever I did. I didn't look sick. And I didn't have a definable diagnosis. My brain fog and what felt at times as complete brain shutdown, as well as my worsening headaches, were of no interest to people because I "didn't have brain cancer". And my gut issues were of no interest because it wasn't IBS or Crohn's or any other diagnosis. I would actually double over in pain at times. And my intermittent swallowing difficulties were addressed with multiple endoscopies and pills with no definitive diagnosis.
In my graduate work, I studied the effects of stress and anxiety on critically ill patients who were both chronically and acutely ill. My clinical focus was cardiology/respiratory critical care. I was always aware of "other" factors ~ social support, mindset, sleep, stress, faith and more ~ that impacted the health outcomes of those who were hospitalized. I saw patients with similar diagnoses and conditions have very different outcomes. I researched these issues in graduate school and I tracked quality improvement data and outcomes of cardiac arrest patients, high tech home infusion patients, and many other issues in my clinical positions. It was clearly evident that stress and anxiety greatly impacted morbidity and mortality in people with both chronic and acute conditions.
When my son was born almost 17 years ago, I began to see the impact that food had on many issues ~ mood, weight loss, resiliency and more. When my son was an infant, I was instructed to remove gluten, dairy and corn from my diet as I nursed him. Gluten was really hard. Once I successfully removed it all, my digestive issues resolved in days. It took longer, but my brain fog went away several months later. At that moment, I knew I wanted to help people to stay well.
I've always operated in life by serving and teaching. But I don't want to just give you Knowledge or inspiration ~ I want you to have the proper Tools and Resources to implement this information into your life and the life of your family and community. I want you to start tilting the needle back toward health and balance. I want you to have the right Resources and Support to make concrete, lasting changes in your health and life. Therefore, my mission is to Educate, Empower and Inspire YOU to Take OWNERSHIP™ of Your Health and Your Life so you can live up to your highest potential ~ and so you can help your family and others do the same.
The Six Pillars of Health™, as well as strength and balance among them, are critically important to your overall health. When one Pillar is weakened, if affects the others. If other Pillars are already weak, it impairs your overall ability to respond to whatever challenging situation is taxing your resources. Learning to rebuild these areas is imperative to recovering from outside assaults to your system, as well as strengthening them to minimize future assaults. Therefore, I've created a program designed to help you address the root causes and effects of the issues that plague or bother you; the things that, though they may be big OR small, interfere with your life.
I am uniquely qualified to help you on your journey. I have a masters degree in nursing and worked in healthcare for over two decades in various roles and multiple leadership capacities. I have a wide breadth of experience along the entire patient care continuum. I realized quite early on in my career that real healing does not just happen in the Physical Pillar of Health. True healing encompasses the entire person and their circumstances. I want you to feel your best. I want you to live your best. Therefore, my goal is to Educate you on what creates health and what takes it away; to Empower you with this knowledge to make the changes that you can; and to Inspire you to know what is possible and that you CAN make the difference you want in your health and your life, as well as the health and life of your family. Don't just hide the difficult or painful parts; open them up to true healing.
To help you in other areas of your life, I became a Strategic Intervention Life Coach. I have also walked the road of having a silent illness that gives me the unique perspective of the journey one travels with chronic illness, as well as the uncertainty and alterations in social relationships that this brings. I know what it's like to feel invisible because you don't look sick and your symptoms are invisible to others.
I have worked with and coached people from all walks of life to improve their health and wellbeing ~ male and female, parents and singles, elderly and young. I am very excited to be able to offer a comprehensive program that addresses ALL Six Pillars of Health™. I address ALL the issues that impact your health and your life, as well as the underlying reasons why your health and your life are where they are. By addressing these issues and looking at the root causes and how they all impact each other, you will identify simple things that need to change. And by providing extensive coaching access for a prolonged period of time, you will be able to make changes that become a life-long habit, rather than just get results in the short-term. I will also share my journey so you can avoid my mistakes and take inspiration from my successes.
And the changes you make affect not just yourself, but those around you ~ family, neighbors, coworkers, friends, etc. You'll find as you become healthier ~ in ALL Six Pillars of Health™ ~ you will begin to impact those around you. One mother I worked with found her life and her children's lives were healthier and happier as a result of our work together. Their relationships with each other improved, grating physical issues disappeared and a new way of thinking and being infused their lives. They were inspired to continue the changes ~ over three years out and they still report continued positive changes. Check out what people have said here.
Each one of us must understand the factors that create health and what takes it away. It is imperative we make our OWN decisions regarding our health and our lives and that our ability to make these decisions are not limited or influenced by outside forces.
It is time that we take control ~Take OWNERSHIP™ ~ of Our Health, Our Wealth, and Our Lives!
Join me on the journey to true health and an authentic life ~ and live up to your highest potential today!
