We begin with ourselves, then we can help others better.

What is a Nurse Coach?

A Nurse Coach is a nurse who has additional training in Health Coaching, which involves guiding patients towards reaching their health and wellness goals.

Nurses 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.

Nurse Coaches are being hired by hospitals, clinics, insurance companies and other corporations.

Nurse Coaches can also create their own independent businesses.

These paths are open to you.

Should nurse coaches be 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 grants CEs and prepares nurses for certification but…

Above all, our teachings are life teachings. They are for you to live better.

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
