This is more than just a program—it's an investment in YOU, your well-being, your career, and your future as a Holistic Nurse, Holistic Nurse Coach and Holistic Nurse Consultant.
The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) defined holistic nursing as an 'attitude, a philosophy, and a way of being that applies to both client and practitioner'. This means that holistic nursing is not limited to the way care is provided, but that it is also a lifestyle and mindset that the practitioner or nurse embodies. This embodiment allows nurses to enjoy balance and optimal health within their own lives, while also acting as educators, role-models and advocates for the betterment of their clients' health.
Dossey (2013) expanded on this, stating that integrative care, an essential component of holistic care, is focused in the patient-practitioner relationship as well as the undeniable influence of family community, and other healthcare practitioners, services and interventions. She believed that an integral world-view was instrumental in expanding and deeping our understanding of the healing process.
At TheCIINDE© we believe in the body-mind-spirit-environment connection, the importance of whole-person care, and that holistic care and an integrative approach are fundamental to ensuring optimal health and wellness. Our hope is that you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for holistic philosophies and practice and the complementary role that exists between Eastern and Western medicine.
Our teachings are based on the premise that whole-care is vital to healing and that care must includes ones' internal and external environment, as well as their biological, psychological, social, spiritual, mental, emotional, and cultural needs. We also believe that those who hold space and act as facilitators of healing must first engage in practices that promote self-healing.
Together, we will explore the attitudes, philosophies, characteristics and theoretical underpinnings of holistic nursing as a specialty practice.
NURSE COACHING IS COLLABORATIVE
Nurse Coaches use a structured--yet, organic--skilled, purposeful, results-oriented and relationship centered interaction with clients for the purpose of promoting achievement of clients goals. The client is respected as the expert in their own care with an innate ability to heal. The Nurse Coach acts a facilitator of healing, providing guidance and resources as needed or desired.
NURSE COACHES FOCUS ON ILLNESS PREVENTION & HEALTH PROMOTION
A professional nurse coach is a registered nurse who integrates coaching skills and competencies into any practice setting with the intention of shifting reactive disease-focused care to one that proactively focuses on facilitating sustained health, wellness, and wellbeing.
Focus is on the client's strengths, as opposed to trying to 'fix weaknesses'.
Dossey, et. al. 2013
Healing is not defined as curing or fixing; rather, as making whole and achieving balance.
NURSE COACHING IS HOLISTIC
Nurse coaches honour the bio-psycho-social-spiritual-cultural and environmental aspects of health. Using holistic approaches to provide a safe space for individuals to be brave and engage in self-discovery is inherent to Nurse Coaching; thus, making a holistic approach an organic process within Nurse Coaching.
We will explore these concepts and practices in much more detail as we progress through the program.
NURSE CONSULTING IS COLLABORATIVE
Holistic Nurse Consultants help their clients find a solution to a problem or something that has been challenging. Much like Holistic Nurse Coaches, they are working collaboratively with the client, but taking on more of a solution focused role.
NURSE COACHES FOCUS ON HELPING THEIR CLIENTS WITH COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS
Holistic Nurse Consultants are experienced nurses who possess advanced education and training, enabling them to offer specialized services. They bring a wealth of clinical knowledge and expertise to their roles, often serving as valuable resources within healthcare teams, with community organizations and with individual clients,
NURSE CONSULTING SHOULD BE HOLISTIC
A Holistic Nurse Consultant and a General Nurse Consultant differ in their approach, philosophy, and areas of expertise. Holistic Nurse Consultants emphasize a holistic approach to healthcare, focusing on the whole person and integrating complementary therapies, while General Nurse Consultants offer expertise in general nursing care across various specialties without a specific focus on holistic principles. The choice between these roles depends on an individual's training, interests, and career objectives within the nursing field.
We will explore this concept in much more detail as we progress through the program, with a dedicated class in addition to a comprehensive additional Self-Study Module

I’m not sure how this will help me in my personal life.
Nurses who have participated in TheCIINDE's Comprehensive Holistic Nurse, Nurse Coach, and Consultant Certificate Program have shared profound transformations in both their personal and professional lives. Many report a fundamental shift in their mindset, self-awareness, and relationship with self-care, leading to lasting changes in how they show up for themselves and their clients.
At the heart of this program is a six-step transformative process, guiding nurses through deep personal exploration, intentional self-care practices, and professional integration. A dedicated self-care assignment reinforces this journey, ensuring that participants embody the holistic principles they will later apply in practice. During the first quarter of the program, the focus is entirely on YOU—the human behind the nurse. This phase prioritizes self-reflection, personal growth, and healing, empowering nurses to cultivate resilience, set meaningful intentions, and integrate sustainable self-care habits before transitioning into client-centered coaching.
By experiencing this transformation firsthand, nurses emerge not only as skilled practitioners but as embodied leaders in holistic nursing and coaching, ready to guide others with authenticity, empathy, and a deep-rooted commitment to well-being.

TheCIINDE© Complementary Holistic Nurse, Nurse Coach & Consultant Certificate program at The Canadian Institute of Integrative Nursing Development & Education (TheCIINDE)© is internationally recognized and holds two very distinct accreditations. We are accredited by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA), ensuring our program meets rigorous Canadian standards for nursing education.

Our program is endorsed by the Canadian Holistic Nurses Association (CHNA) and Watson Caring Science Institute (WCSI), further reinforcing our credibility and professional standing. Additionally, our students are taught how to actively advocate for the recognition of Holistic Nursing, Nurse Coaching and Nurse Consulting within their respective regulatory bodies. One of our core assignments involves engaging directly with regulatory organizations to foster awareness and ensure alignment with professional nursing standards.
The thought of taking a course makes me nervous that it will be like nursing school...
We completely understand that the thought of taking a course might bring back memories of nursing school—those long hours, rigid expectations, and the pressure to perform. But let us assure you: this is not nursing school. At The Canadian Institute of Integrative Nursing Development & Education (TheCIINDE)©, we recognize that you are not students in the traditional sense—you are professional nurses and adult learners with your own lived experiences, expertise, and wisdom.
Much like reviving the heART of nursing, our program is about teaching and showing up in a different way than you may be used to. We are here to facilitate, support, and walk alongside you as you explore a new approach to nursing—one rooted in presence, transformation, and healing. Just like in coaching, our role is not to dictate but to guide and empower you as you step into your own way of practicing.
Yes, there are criteria to meet in order to obtain your certification, but how you navigate this journey is entirely up to you. You have the flexibility to learn in a way that works best for you, with a supportive community and mentorship along the way. So if you're feeling hesitant, know this: this is not about adding more stress to your life—this is about re-connecting with your purpose, your passion, and the kind of nursing you’ve always wanted to practice. And we will be here, every step of the way. Let us know how we can support you in getting started! 💙
What if I am only interested in one of following: Holistic Nurse; Nurse Coach; OR, a Nurse Consultant? Would I still need to take the entire CIINDE-Certified Holistic Nurse, Nurse Coach & Consultant Certificate Program?
Although these are 3 distinct specialties, and you can choose to take the Consultant Course separately, it has been our experience that Nurse coaching is truly an integral part of being a holistic nurse and using a holistic approach. The consultant course was added as a component of the program because it addresses a very important part of nursing practice, that being around the education and resources that we provide our clients to support them in achieving their goals.
"I am one of the first students to graduate from The Ciinde Holistic Nurse Coaching Program. I have just published my website and want to introduce my independent practice Conscious Heart Nursing. I currently work full time in hospital cardiac care and part time holistic nurse coach. I have been supporting clients with stress management, spiritual care and nourishing healthy self care habits. This month I published my website and hope to build my client base and join a local wellness establishment and or holistic wellness team in the near future. I have so much gratitude for the amazing nurses at The CIINDE and the beautiful souls that I’ve met thought this course!"
Jennifer Glass (Cohort 1)
Joelle Ross (Cohort 5)
"After class #2, I found a deep sense of peacefulness within me.... I found the activities, the seed planting, and the yoga paired with the journal prompting following, to be extremely moving. Some deep reflection, realizations and inner knowings surfaced for me following that class.....It’s funny to see how easy it is to forget that when you take care of yourself, you can show up more wholly for others in your life. I feel this program is developed in a way that allows each of us to have our own personal experience coming “home to oneself”, while we learn how to help our clients do the same. I am really looking forward to seeing how my connection with myself continues to deepen and grow as we move through this course together."
Kayla McKnight (Cohort 5)
"We had the honor and privilege to have 50 nurses participate in TheCIINDE program so nurse holistic program to become a nurse coach, a nurse wellness coach and those nurses are from a variety of practice settings, different roles within Nova Scotia Health so we had direct care providers, we had nurse leaders in the role of health service managers, nursing directors, nurse educators, and the response from those participants was overwhelmingly positive they really appreciated the opportunity and through that initiative, we also had the opportunity for those participants to apply for a Nurse-led Wellness Grant."
Jennifer MacDougall, Chats on Change (Cohort 7 Collaboration)
"The holistic training I received at the CIINDE has profoundly impacted both my personal and professional life. Holistic nursing, with its emphasis on self-care, self-reflection, and compassion, has the potential to transform the nursing work environment....Having an experienced nurse coach to bridge the gap between frontline staff and management would be an invaluable tool for addressing toxic workplace culture and improving nurse retention. Through cultural change and a focus on holistic care, we can inspire and retain the next generation of nurses, creating a healthier and more supportive profession for all."

A Seed Was Planted
TheCIINDE© was born from a deep, soul-calling connection between three nurses—Kim, Sherry, and Janessa—brought together by divine design. Five years after meeting, we continue to reflect on our shared journey with gratitude and awe. United by a vision to nurture a new way of being for nurses and others, we’re passionate about empowering the 'Future of Nursing' through holistic health and well-being. We wanted to ease the suffering of nurses worldwide, providing the support and tools for new nurses to thrive—not just survive. From this vision, a seed was planted—a seed that grew into TheCIINDE©, a new way of knowing, doing, and being in nursing.
