About
Becca Day
I discovered my calling at a young age when my grandmother suffered a stroke and required the care of a home health nurse. I was deeply moved by this nurse's compassion and warmth, and I realized that I too felt called to care for and help alleviate the suffering of others.
I graduated from Nursing school at the University of Hawaii in 2014; as an eager and enthusiastic new grad I entered straight into Emergency Medicine. I put my heart and soul into ER nursing, being a part of a team effort to save a person's life was the greatest feeling I had ever known.
​My passion for nursing grew throughout the years, along with my knowledge of medicine and understanding of our healthcare system. I saw firsthand the miraculous powers of Western medicine when used in a life threatening situation. In time however, I also came to see the flaws of utilizing Western medicine as the sole modality in a healthcare system.
​
I witnessed as the majority of my patients were discharged home with a means to temporarily mask a physical symptom, without gaining any understanding of the root cause of their dis-ease. Our medical system was attempting to heal chronic illness from the outside in, but I was beginning to see that true healing must originate from within. I decided to broaden my knowledge base and study what I felt our medical system was lacking: Holistic health and wellness. Nursing school had provided me with a wealth of knowledge on illness, but my studies of holistic health provided me with a spiritual understanding of wellness.
With my years of clinical experience as an ER nurse along with my new found understanding of holistic health I now feel called to facilitate healing on a deeper level, from the inside out. I believe I can empower others to take health into their own hands and teach them how to become masters of their own healing.

In holistic medicine, health is seen as multifaceted and encompasses the physical, emotional, mental, social, environmental, and spiritual bodies of health. Optimal health of an individual is achieved when all facets of their health are in balance. Holistic medicine goes beyond eliminating physical symptoms and aims to uncover the underlying factors and ultimately fix the root cause of one’s condition. In Holism, health is not viewed as merely the absence of disease, but the attainment of one's highest level of wellness. In holistic healthcare each individual is seen as the expert of their own health, and as such they play the most vital role in their own wellbeing.

A nurse coach is a Registered Nurse who has undergone additional training in the areas of coaching and holistic health. Nurse coaches use their education in nursing and acquired clinical experience to serve others by leading them on a path toward wellness. The role of a nurse coach is to partner with their clients to guide them in creating and achieving goals towards alleviating suffering in mind,body, and spirit. In a nurse coach/ client relationship, the nurse coach accepts the client exactly where they are in life and provides encouragement, instruction and feedback when necessary. The mission of the nurse coach is to empower their clients to recognize their own innate healing potential.

The initial nurse coaching session will serve as an ‘initial assessment’ in which we discuss the various aspects of holistic health. From here we will work together to formulate personal and attainable goals aimed at reaching your optimal level of wellness. As your nurse coach I will be there to provide education and motivation, cheering you in the direction of feeling your best in body, mind and spirit. We will continually expand and revise personal goals, as well as address any barriers to achieving these goals. In the depths of our powerful conversations I will challenge you to explore what it means to truly embody your highest self. As your nurse coach I will be there to support and encourage you through this powerful healing process, with the all-knowing that the key to your health and wellness resides solely within you.
