Our Nurse Coach training program prepares nurses to become board-certified Nurse Coaches, Holistic Nurses or Holistic Health Coaches.
As nurses we know how it feels to be burned out and not getting the support we need. We’ve been there and that’s why we created Advancing Nurse Coaching.
Our school is accredited through the State of California Board of Registered Nursing so credits can be used for other CE needs.

A biweekly casual live group call about anything nurse coaching or anything in nursing. Connect with our faculty and with other nurses.

What is a “Nurse Coach”?
A Nurse Coach is a nurse who has additional training in Health Coaching and holistic care.
Health Coaching involves guiding patients towards reaching their health and wellness goals. When the guidance involves a whole-person perspective on the health background of a patient we call that “Holistic Health Coaching”.
Nurses already have the skills to be excellent Health Coaches: medical knowledge, healthcare skills & practice, knowledge of how it all works, and the heart & passion to do it well.
Our programs are built for nurses but other health professionals are welcome to get in touch and find out if our program is a good fit.

Why become certified?
Health Coaching as a profession is unregulated in the US (currently in 2026) which leads some nurses to wonder “Is certification worth it?”
We believe that certification is absolutely worth it. Certification shows that you are dedicated to being a great health coach by adhering to standards as set by the certifying body (in our case that is the AHNCC). Certification can also be used in your existing nursing career to make you stand out as an exceptional employee and candidate for advancement.
Our program also grants CEs which can be redeemed where accepted towards other nursing CE needs.

What Our Students Say
Lyn and Teresa are compassionate, conscientious mentors. They are flexible…working with me and my schedule which greatly reduced stress, making the journey towards certification relaxed and enjoyable. The Three Principles have not only greatly benefited my professional journey but have made a huge influence in my personal life and relationships.”
Pamela Pickering-Anderson, Holistic Registered Nurse and Nurse Coach
It’s been really really powerful and very moving. It’s gotten me to places I was hoping to get to, and maybe didn’t know I could get to.”
Dr. Anne Curtis, Advancing Holistic Health coaching student
What I have found through the course work is the innate ability to stay more centered all of the time. I stay clear in my thought processes and move forward. Periods of challenge don’t really exist any more, it’s just one transition from moment to moment, life event to life event, and it allows me to look at things more realistically, choose better paths to more focused outcomes, and enjoy the life ride.”
Isabel Bruce, Registered Nurse and Board Certified Nurse Coach
