Nurse Coaches
& professional resources
Sara Prech RN, NC-BC &
Anastasia Prech RN, NC-BC,
Holistic Wellness Coaches
Sara & Anastasia are twins, RNs, and board certified nurse coaches (NC-BC) who help nurses to live Well and Whole. They have advanced training in holistic health and wellness, and critical incident stress debriefing.
​
They offer 1:1 coaching, masterclasses, and workshops centering on the themes of stress management, burnout, mindset, and empowerment.
​
Burnout has become an epidemic, and enough is enough. You can't pour from an empty cup, and living in a state of chronic stress is damaging to the body and mind. As nurses, we must refuse to accept what's toxic just because it's "normal".
​
Sara and Anastasia believe in empowering nurses to put their self care, health care, and mental wellbeing first. They celebrate work life balance, part time hours, and self care as a lifestyle. They also believe in empowering nurses to do the unconventional, whether that is saying no to overtime, pursuing alternative specialties in nursing, or diving into the world of nurse entrepreneurship. As nurses who have successfully recovered from burnout and found their true purpose in nursing, they are on a mission to help other nurses live their most aligned and empowered lives.
Marissa Sharkey, Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Coach
Marissa is a Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Coach who has a background in clinical nutrition working in the ICU's primarily but also with a wide variety of medically complex patient populations. Marissa has worked closely with nurses for over 5 years and developed a strong bond with them. When the pandemic occurred, she witnessed the impact it had on them and it impacted herself immensely as well. She became burned out, reduced her hours and her passion for helping RNs with their nutrition and wellness concerns developed into a business.
Marissa has an exclusive email newsletter that is full of free nutrition and wellness tips, inspiration and motivation. On her instagram you will find valuable educational content and information on her services (which are evolving!). She currently offers 1:1 nutrition coaching in her NURSE Nutrition Support Academy Program that focuses on creating sustainable balanced health habits in the realms of nutrition, self-care, mindset, exercise/movement, rest and sleep.
Nurses take care of others, but who takes care of them? Nurses often sacrifice their own comfort and personal needs to take care of their patients. But this sacrifice comes at a cost to them that impacts their health in the long run. Marissa believes that nutrition shouldn’t be difficult, time consuming, expensive and boring. Marissa is passionate about helping nurses prioritize their health by supporting them in implementing sustainable, balanced health habits that are customized to their lifestyle. By working with Marissa, her clients are provided a compassionate, supportive environment where they are empowered to transform their lifestyle with small achievable changes that lead to profound impacts. Her clients will notice the difference in themselves; an increase in their energy and stamina without overdoing the coffee during their shifts, scrubs will fit better, improved ability to cope with stress and more confidence to prepare a balanced meal pre-shift. By embracing consistency over perfection, her clients thrive and are able to finally live their happiest, healthiest lives.
Lindsey Walker
RN, BSN, HWNC-BC
Holistic Health Practitioner & Coach
Meet Lindsey! She is the Founder of The Holistic Mama, LLC, a business whose foundation is based off holistic health principles and healing.
​
She is a RN, board certified holistic health & wellness nurse coach (HWNC-BC), board certified holistic health practitioner, certified personal trainer, and certified nutrition coach. She holds multiple advanced certifications to include those in nutrition, functional medicine, and behavior change.
​
Lindsey currently offers 1:1 coaching and workshops, but will soon be adding a membership to allow more accessibility in regards to gut health and whole body health and wellness.
​
Poor gut health has become an epidemic, Lindsey recognizes this, and works to empower women to not only become their own best doctor and advocate, but also realize that they truly have the power within them to heal.
​
Poor gut health and inflammation are at the root of almost all disease. If we are able to heal this, our entire life has the ability to change. We are then able to escape from common ailments such as bloating, joint pain, brain fog, mood swings, and the list could go on.
​
Which is exactly why you will often hear Lindsey say, "heal your gut, heal your life".
​
As nurses, we are natural born healers, but we are often under so much stress from our day to day jobs that we forget to care for our own physical and mental well-being. Lindsey paves the way for all nurses to take back their power insider her 1:1 coaching program: The Gut Health Roadmap. Through this journey, her clients are guided on their own individualized protocol, so that they are able to heal from the inside out- and maintain it. No band-aids here!
Kara Wilson
RD, LDN, CPT
Dietitian for Nurses
Kara is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer that specializes in helping nurses stop workplace weight gain. She believes in balance over perfection! That means reaching your nutrition goals so you can feel confident in your food choices and comfortable in your own skin, without giving up your favorite foods. After working in different clinical environments, she noticed a pattern of her colleagues (nurses specifically) taking amazing care of their patients but giving none of that care to themselves. So she founded Kara Wilson Nutrition in 2019 so she could help nurses fill their cups so they could keep pouring their selflessness, compassion, and kindness into others!

She works with nurses 1:1 and tailors her 12 week program to address their individual needs, wants and goals.
Jess is the parent of a one year old, an avid runner & love searching the city for culinary gems... so she’s knows the importance of having energy and passion outside of work. Following a very non-traditional path in nursing, she figured out how to create a life for herself that feels…. Pretty awesome!

Ashleigh Small
MSN, RN, CCRN PN1-SSRC
Ashleigh Small (MSN, RN, CCRN, PN1-SSRC) is a certified NICU nurse by night and night shift mentor by day.
​
Known as That Night Shift Nurse on social media, she is on a mission to flip the script on the negative night shift stigma and show nurses how to fit the night shift schedule into their life without sacrificing their health and sanity.
Nurses are talked to about night shift, but they are not taught how to navigate and live with the unnatural lifestyle that goes along with it. Ashleigh's Flip the Shift Method shows night shift nurses how to take charge of their schedule, build a routine to decrease the effects from working overnight, and confidently function and feel good on their terms! She combines her 10 years (and counting) of night shift experience, feedback from nurse colleagues, and interdisciplinary evidence-based practices from her master's background to give you the ONLY night-shift-specific method and mentorship that exists for nurses! Ashleigh has also obtained a non-nursing certification in sleep, stress management, and recovery from Precision Nutrition to bring the most well-rounded approach to her mentorship opportunities.
​
To put it simply, Ashleigh is a night shift nurse who is ridiculously passionate about working with other night shift nurses who are struggling to figure out how to make the overnight lifestyle less miserable and more doable without feeling completely overwhelmed.
​
Her 90-day Night School mentorship program is the perfect all-in-one combination of curriculum, coaching, and community that takes you step by step through the FTS Method to get you out of the night shift survival mode and onto the path to a thriving overnight lifestyle without overhauling you entire lifestyle.
​
She also offers multiple free resources
-
a quick 10-question quiz to determine what night shift "mode" you're living in
-
a planner page you can use to track your energy levels and night shift's impact on your day
-
an online community of just night shift nurses for a network of support from those who "get it"
