Helping clients who’ve experienced trauma, chronic illness or loss
Explore the many facets of healing using the intricate connections of the mind, body, emotion, spirit and environment to promote a healthier lifestyle and greater sense of well-being.
During my 27 years as a Registered Nurse, I’ve worked in some of the most high-tech, fast-paced, critical care areas of healthcare including ER, Cardiac Cath Lab, and the OR. My experience also extends into areas such as Hospice, Palliative Care, Clinical Trial Drug Research, and Case Management.
However, I have felt deeply in my heart that our healthcare system is broken, constrained by insurance companies, and doesn’t truly promote a healthier society or focus on improving health. To compound the issue, nurses experience severe burnout, the patients are sicker than ever, and there is no time to spend on helping patients learn and understand how to participate in their own wellness journey.
The current reactionary healthcare system we have seems to support a lazy society and quick fixes – favoring prescription pills and procedures over improving a patient’s actual health. Eventually, I decided that it was time to do something about it.
In 2021, the need for a shift was impossible to ignore so I enrolled in a Nurse Coach board certification course in order to really dial in on how to help others change their mindset, feel empowered in their health, and work to prevent feelings like burnout before they cause physical health decline.
Since then, my overall joy for life has improved tremendously
Because I get to help my clients, who like me, want to be healthier in all areas of their lives. Trading in a job that left me with nothing to give to myself or others for one that helps clients make noticeable improvements in their lives using methods that feel authentic to me, truly lights up my soul.
However, no single approach is right for everyone, that’s why I founded Bondaventure Wellness and Coaching to tap into the different modalities and principles that combine body, mind, emotion, spirit and environment.
I work with clients in a collaborative process that builds upon their strengths because I believe the client is the expert on their own needs and choices while I nudge them in the direction of what their heart desires.
For an elevated experience, I host in-person wellness retreats and intensives for clients seeking an immersive, healing experience. My wellness center sits on a beautiful, serene property in the rolling hills of Fallbrook, California.
