Pamela Burris RN, MSN, Advanced Holistic Nurse – Board Certified
My passion in life centers on holistic health and wellness. I have worked with individuals and groups as a holistic nurse for over twenty-nine years and have a wealth of experience in the provision of care, health promotion and advocacy, teaching, and individual and team coaching. My professional experience includes working with clients of all ages as a staff nurse, nurse manager, case manager, and educator within hospital, home, and community settings.
I embrace the love of learning within my holistic practice and believe that learning is a mutual process of transformation and change for all persons involved. I therefore enjoy my ongoing involvement of giving continuing education workshops and conference presentations on holistic health topics, and teaching nursing at the university level.
My experience and knowledge from working in various health care systems and use of “integrative” (sometimes referred to as “complimentary” or “alternative”) healing practices informs my holistic approach to coaching. I have experience and knowledge related to the use of various energy healing modalities such as Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, and Reiki; nutritional practices, herbal and botanical medicines; and mind-body practices such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, and guided imagery.
My philosophy for holistic health coaching is based on my belief that each person possesses the innate capacity to live to his or her fullest potential with purpose and well being, and that this capacity is greatly enhanced by the transformative nature of the coaching relationship.
I provide holistic health coaching on a one-on-one basis, as well as team coaching and facilitation services for clients within health care settings or confronted with health care issues.
