What is Holistic Nurse Consulting?
With gratitude to one of our holistic nurse leaders Janessa DeCoste ... here is a great description of what holistic nurse consultation looks like:
‘As a nurse, I naturally move between the roles of coach and consultant, weaving them together to support my clients in a way that feels both grounded and transformative.
I begin in the coaching space—holding presence, asking powerful questions, and listening deeply to understand the fuller context of my client’s experience. Coaching allows me to tune into what matters most to them, uncover limiting beliefs, and explore their motivations, desires, and inner wisdom.
Once that clarity begins to surface, I shift into more of a consulting role—offering tangible tools, evidence-informed strategies, and an actionable plan that aligns with their goals and values. In this space, I bring my expertise forward to co-create a roadmap for change. I like to think of this as the strategy zone—where ideas take form and momentum begins to build.
I move fluidly between these two roles, depending on where the client is in their journey. Sometimes they need space to process and explore; other times they need structure, options, and guidance. The beauty of this integrated approach is that it honours the whole person, while also giving them the tools to take empowered action.’
