Advancing Nurse Coaching courses provide multiple paths for professional development credentials to further your nursing career and even pursue starting your own business.
Non-nurse health professionals are welcome to train as a holistic health coach.
The credential paths below are based on our full program “Healing the Whole Person” which includes 4 online self-paced courses, with live virtual class group calls. All of our programs are led by our experienced nurse coach instructors and pioneer nurse leaders Lyn McCright & Teresa Walding.
