Learning to “Really Live Again”: How Nurse Coaching Transforms Medical Journeys

5,249Nurse Coaches Trained

When life takes a sharp turn like a cancer diagnosis, a traumatic injury, or the loss of a loved one, what we often need isn’t just treatment.

We need someone to walk with us. To ask the questions no one else does. To hold space while we make sense of the impossible.

That’s exactly what Nurse Coach Lauren Jefferson does.

She is a Board-Certified Health and Wellness Nurse Coach who works with patients facing challenging medical journeys.

Her clients include those with terminal illnesses, those grieving loss, and those redefining life in the wake of diagnoses that have completely altered their identities.

But Lauren’s ability to hold space so powerfully didn’t come from a textbook but from experience.

Lauren became a nurse during COVID, serving in the ICU and seeing, firsthand, how modern medicine often fails to meet patients where they truly are.

Her late father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although she was a medical professional, she didn’t know how to help her father express his feelings, help her family cope with the diagnosis, or handle all of this in a healthier way herself. 

Even with her clinical knowledge, she struggled to make sense of the system. No one asked the deeper questions. No one helped them navigate grief, hope, or end-of-life goals.

That pain led her to nurse coaching and eventually to healing.

In her nurse coaching practice, she helps clients reclaim their autonomy, rediscover joy, and find meaning even in the face of death.

Lauren’s message is that nurse coaching isn’t just a career path but the future of healthcare. It’s the space where healing, hope, and humanity return to the forefront. Tune in!
