Hi

I’m Christen!

I’ve experienced firsthand the struggles nurses face from bedside to boardroom.   

From crying after a crazy shift and ready to walk away from nursing altogether to feeling hopeless in my personal life and struggling through the pain of one-sided relationships.

When I began to heal my own life and the effects of burnout, I looked around and realized I wasn’t the only nurse struggling!  

I knew I needed to share with other nurses what I’ve learned. 

I believe when we take care of ourselves and reconnect with who we really are, we can create a life and career we love regardless of what’s going on in healthcare.  

I believe nurselife is tough, but nurses are stronger.

Breathwork is one of the biggest tools that helped me take back control of my career, and my life.

I still use it to this day and can show you how to master this life changing tool!

An RN, Master Empowerment Coach, and trained breathworker who helps nurses struggling with burnout, moral injury, and lack of thriving relationships that come from a nursing career.

I blend coaching and breathwork so you can create a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life. 

As someone who’s been in healthcare for 25+ years, I get it.

  • C.H. Healthcare Professional

    Christen came into my life at a time when I was at an all-time low emotional especially regarding devastating changes at work. It has been life changing. On top of already having just an approachable connection, Christen has offered me real answers and direction that helped me move forward. With her help, I’ve been able to move on in a healthy way. I am so grateful for Christen and her coaching.

  • KSW, MSN-RN

    I decided to implement holistic breathing exercises into my ongoing healthy lifestyle regimen, I decided to contact Coaching with Christen, I am glad that I did! My first session with Christen was awesome! We had a 2 hour session which included positive affirmations & relaxing breath work, it was such a de-stresser. I truly felt different both physically and mentally after just our first session. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in looking to alleviate stress by trying a breath work session with Coaching with Christen.

  • Dawn, ICU RN

    After one breathwork session I felt calm, at peace, & like I can handle things.

Room to Breathe

Each Sunday evening, you’ll attend a live Zoom call for approximately 60-80 minutes to prepare for the week ahead. You’ll get a 1-hour breathwork session in a positive, supportive atmosphere while connecting with other women in nursing leadership jobs for a brief time after your experience.

The simplistic setup is effective because of it’s 3 basic principles.

Community

Each weekly 1 hour breath session is done in a small group of no more than 10 people. It provides a supportive community to nurse leaders while receiving active, live support by yours truly

Consistency

Each week you’ll already have a plan in place that recharges your batteries so you don’t have to feel guilty anymore. When you take care of you, you’re able to better tackle what life throws your way. Breathwork is an excellent way to decrease stress, calm anxiety & overwhelm, increase your peace, come up with new ideas, & reconnect with your body.

Breathwork

You’ll be doing a conscious connected breath pattern that was developed out of rebirthing breathwork so you can set yourself up for success for the week. The goal of breathwork is to use 100% of your ling function. Each breath session is unique and the benefits of breathing are extensive.

Weekly Group Breathwork sessions to start your week off strong and energized.  

Begin each week with less stress, increased clarity, confidence, and peace all while caring for yourself!

  • Lisa, RN ICU

    Although I'd been away from the bedside for a couple years, I thought I was fine. After my first breathwork session with Christen, I couldn't believe how relaxed I was. I couldn't stop talking to my husband about it when I got home. I didn't realize how much I needed this.

  • Vick, Healthcare Professional

    Before working with Christen, I was having frequent panic attacks.  I had a lot of fear and anxiety about things in my past.  I worked a lot with a counselor in the past, but I’m ready to move forward now and that’s why I chose to work with Christen.  Since I started coaching and breathwork, I feel less stress and anxiety.  I can even get myself out of panic attacks now because of the breathing technique! The breathing technique calmed my mind and body so much, I had a hard time not falling asleep during the session!  I would recommend her services.

  • Angelina, RN Case Manager

    My daughters talked about coaching so I decided to try it out. Christen helped me gain insight into some things I was facing and the breathwork was very relaxing.

I don’t have time for this, I’ll do it later…

The truth for most of us is later never seems to come, does it?

As nurses, we’re built to be strong.  In a nurse leader role, there’s even extra pressure to lead the charge while keeping it together.

No one taught the need, or even how, to maintain our resilience, protect ourselves, our energy, and our time. 

If you keep going, how much longer can you last and be happy?  Not dread having to come to work? How much longer can your loved ones watch you before they don’t recognize you anymore? 

We know the importance of leadership in nursing.

You’re worth the investment into yourself and this time and cost effective investment back into you is the perfect place to start! 

Your nurse leader role is unique

Is this really the right fit for you?

You may be thinking…

It doesn’t sound worth the money. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it

Your work/life balance, creating a plan to sustain and refuel your tank isn’t worth the money?  Whether it’s travel, fancy coffee, nails, or on someone you love, you’re spending money.  Besides, if you were really going to “just do it already”, you wouldn’t be here. It’s easy to know what we “should” do, but it can be tough getting it off the ground. This is the perfect place to start.

It’s time to make yourself a priority. This time & cost-effective series is an amazing deal!  You deserve to invest in yourself.

I don’t have time for this.

We never have enough of this right?  Time management is one of the biggest reasons people hire coaches.  This is one hour every Sunday.  If you don’t have time to make for this investment in yourself, then you’re the best candidate.  It’s time to make yourself a priority.

You don’t understand the people I work with.  I need more than just breathing to really help me. 

Breathing has more benefits than people realize.  Will breathing bring in a new team?  No, but it has the ability to help you view situations with better insight, deepen your clarity, come up with ideas and creative solutions you may not have thought of all while helping you decrease stress.  Breathwork is incredibly powerful and I can’t wait for you to experience it!  If you need more support, I also offer 1:1 coaching/breathwork packages. 

The problem is healthcare, that needs to change, I can’t help it.  In fact, the hospital should pay for this, they owe me after COVID.   

Healthcare does need to change and COVID was awful.  Hospitals probably need to pay for a lot of things, but we can’t control the industry or how entities spend their money.  What we can control is ourselves, and this is a great step to help you put yourself in a position to be a catalyst for the changes you hoped to make moving into leadership.  Whether hospitals acknowledge it or not, you’re worth investing in. 

  • Decrease stress & overwhelm so you can sleep better naturally going into your work week

  • Discover new & creative ideas so you can navigate complex situations calmly

  • Increase mental clarity so you can better manage your time and better prioritize your day

  • Rejuvenate & restore your whole self so you can maintain your strong, badass boss babe status!

  • Improve your mind/body connection so you can better listen to and honor your own needs

  • Feel more energized so you can start your week confidently and set a positive tone at work

The best part is, you’ll learn a lifelong tool you’ll be able to use at anytime in the future!

Room to Breathe

helps women in a nurse leader role & in nursing leadership jobs

As someone who’s been in healthcare for 25+ years, I understand the unique struggles nurses face from bedside to boardroom.

I get it, I’ve been there too!  

After moving to a nurse leader role, I

  • appreciated the delicate balance between staff needs and hospital goals.

  • experienced the way certain relationships change once you make that leap into leadership.  

  • had those days where it seems like you just can’t please anyone

  • witnessed firsthand the blatant disregard and disrespect nurse leaders receive at times, no matter how hard you try  

  • also know the avenues available to express your experiences can be limited.   

Nurse life can be tough, but I know you’re stronger

From anger rants after work and crying in my car, not to mention the struggles in my personal life, I was done with nursing.  I gave so much of myself I had nothing left.

I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.

I lost me. 

I knew something had to change…

That’s when I started my own healing journey over 10 years ago now and I’ve never looked back.  

I love my career again (and my life!)  The more I began to heal, the more I realized I wasn’t the only nurse struggling! 

The best part is I didn’t have to leave nursing to do it!

I knew I needed to share what I’ve learned with other nurses!  

Breathwork is one of the biggest tools that helped me take back control of my career, and my life.

I still use it to this day and can show you how to master this life changing tool!

Frequently Asked Questions

I hate people.  Why is this in a small group?

II’ll tell you a secret, people who “hate people” love their people.  We as nurses have a responsibility to support one another in a positive and uplifting way, instead of the ol’ “nurses eat their young”, these small groups are an easy and effective way to do that.  Small groups also allow me to help more people, and it keeps your costs down as well!

Will I get the personalized attention I need in a small group?

You may be surprised because with more people there, you may find yourself having more support than you’re used to.  If you feel you need more, that’s no problem!  I offer 1:1 sessions as well.  However, the small groups are a great way to try a session or 2 and see if we’re right for each other before you jump all in.  

Are these in-person or online? How long are they?

Right now, the small breathwork groups are online through Zoom, I may move to in-person in the future.

Each session is between 60-80 minutes. I hour of breathwork and about 15 minutes to discuss your experience.
