Lindsay has worked hard to find her place. She began her nursing career in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit, an exciting, but incredibly high-stress workplace. After six years, she was burned out. She still felt a strong desire to help patients but knew that it had to be in a different way. She went back to school for her master’s degree, but after trying on new roles off the hospital floor, she continued to feel the frustration of being unable to prevent or alleviate the suffering that she had witnessed in the hospital. The birth of her second child brought a realization of just how undersupported and stressed mothers, especially those less fortunate than her, can be, and how this leads to so much physical and emotional disease. These were things her work as a nurse had not allowed her to address.
Then she followed the intuition that had been leading her towards nurse coaching, a decade-old specialty that marries health and life coaching with the art and science of the nursing profession. Nurse coaches hold space and mindfully listen to their clients' needs, desires, and motivations and guide them in accessing their inner wisdom. Lindsay became a board-certified nurse coach and began her practice in 2019.
As a mother and bedside nurse familiar to burnout, Lindsay cares for those caregivers who have put themselves last on their to-do list for far too long, helping them tame the daily, chronic stressors that prevent them from enjoying life. If you care for other human beings at home or at work, pairing with a nurse coach can help you:
And while things like self care, nutrition, exercise, and sleep play an important role in wellness, there are often other, less obvious factors that get in the way of good health. Factors like trauma and stress, self-worth and shame, oppression, mental and emotional health, and community care are important parts in a broader, and deeper, picture of what health looks like. Lindsay helps clients explore these crucial below-the-surface issues.
A typical coaching session lasts about 45-60 minutes. During that time, you can expect Lindsay to listen to your story, guide you in deep self-inquiry, and assist you in goal-setting. Clients generally register for coaching packages with larger goals or intentions in mind. Lindsay will guide you in creating achievable changes while holding you accountable.
Central to Lindsay’s practice is the understanding that every individual is unique and has a different health story and different needs, for which different approaches may be required. For that reason, she continues to expand the number of integrative tools she has at hand to help clients. These include goal setting and strength building, mindfulness practices, HeartMath, and self-compassion techniques. She is also a Whole30 Certified Coach and is in training to be a Somatic Experiencing practitioner.
Lindsay lives with her husband, their two children, a German-Shorthaired pointer lab mix, and two cats. She enjoys cooking and moving her body, particularly through hiking around Tucson and doing cardio and yoga. An advocate for work-life balance, she places value on her self-care, which typically involves reading—a lot. She also guides future nurse coaches as Clinical Faculty for the International Nurse Coaches Association. To learn more about Lindsay and her practice, visit her website.
