Ready to Reclaim Your Health Without the Fluff?

Let's be honest.  You've navigated a lot.  A career, a family, maybe even a global pandemic.  You're strong, you're capable, but somewhere along the way, your well-being took a backseat.
​
You're not alone. And it's not too late to change that.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You're tired of feeling like you're "just getting older" and want to redefine what aging looks like.

  • You know you should be eating better, but wine and takeout are just so much easier after a long day. (We get it.)

  • Your "self-care routine" consists of collapsing on the couch at the end of the day.

  • You're ready to invest in your health, but you need someone to give it to you straight—no sugarcoating, just real talk.

  • You're successful in your career, but your health feels like a never-ending to-do list.

If you're nodding your head, you're in the right place.

What Exactly Is Nurse Coaching?

You've heard of health coaches, but nurse coaching is a bit different. Imagine having a guide who not only understands the complexities of the human body but also knows how to empower you to make real changes.

​

Nurse coached are registered nurses with the specialized training in the art and science of coaching techniques. That means you get:

We'll work together. You lead the way, and I'll provide the tools and support you need to succeed. 

It's not just healthcare. It's health empowerment.

With the help of Joanne, my wife and I feel we transformed our diet and changed our habits and lifestyle for healthier living. We enjoyed our sessions and learned the benefits of a plant-based diet, meditation, exercise and nutrition and how they are all related.

 

Joanne’s real life experiences combined with her professional knowledge as a R.N. was valuable in this change. In addition, we feel her suggested sources of information assisted us to manage and increase our knowledge of the risks of our hereditary conditions.

 

Now that we completed the program we both feel healthier and in more control of our lives, both physically and mentally. We intend to permanently continue this new lifestyle and strongly encourage anyone interested in transforming their life to a healthy way of living to work with Joanne.

Meet Joanne

I'm Joanne Whiteside, a board-certified Nurse Coach, and I'm here to tell you that age is just a number.
 
With 30+ years of nursing experience in everything from emergency care to obstetrics, I've seen it all. I know what it takes to build a resilient mind and body.

My approach is simple: ditch the excuses, embrace the possibilities, and let's get to work. (Yes, I might even share a story or two that will make you laugh).

I’m also a mom, an educator, and a firm believer that a healthy lifestyle isn’t about deprivation—it’s about living your best life, with energy and vitality to spare.
