Hi, I'm Eva.
I’m a nurse with 37 years of international nursing and leadership experience. I’m passionate about two things:
Why am I so passionate about helping you?
I know from first-hand experience how difficult it is to find support from someone who understands the pressure that nurses are under today. I also know that as a nurse you are extremely busy and there’s very little time for your own self-care, and even if you had more time, you’re too exhausted to do anything with it.
I’ve been in situations in the nursing profession that have severely affected my confidence. Three years ago, my employment position was abolished following a financial restructure, something that I found really hard to deal with on a personal level.
I loved my job and I loved developing my team. When my position was abolished it felt like I lost my identity as a nurse. I always thought that I was a strong person and had good boundaries around my self-care and stress management.

I loved my job and I loved developing my team. When my position was abolished it felt like I lost my identity as a nurse. I always thought that I was a strong person and had good boundaries around my self-care and stress management.
I lost my job almost overnight and it really affected me deeply on a personal level. I fell into what I now describe as a huge wallowing hole, with no idea about how to get out.
I felt overwhelmed, lost, and many job application rejections were personal and painful. The rejections made my situation even worse, to the point where I stopped applying for jobs at all.
Lost for answers, I decided to hire a coach. It changed my life.
Over time, coaching slowly helped me to see that I could use my skills, knowledge and experience in a different way. I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel and suddenly there was hope. I started a journey of self-discovery that led me to study to become a coach to be able to help others in the same way that I had been helped.
I wanted to help others overcome the struggles that I had been through myself.

No nurse should have to go through what I went through.
I would be lying if I said this journey was easy. Anyone who has ever set up their own business will understand how tough it can be. That said, I wouldn’t change a thing. Starting my own business has opened up a whole new world for me. I love being a coach and it’s so rewarding to see how my clients grow and go on to achieve great things in their nursing careers. This is what I truly love doing.
There is no greater reward than to see a struggling nurse turn things around and take control of their career and wellbeing. I love seeing women who have lost their confidence or feel like an imposter in a management role, develop into confident, authentic, and empowered leaders.
This is what inspires me to get up every day and work as a coach.
