Working with Danene was a unique experience that included all of me – the woman, the mom, the nurse. Knowing she was a fellow nurse quickly allowed our sessions become deeper and more personal. Her intuition is uncanny – she heard things I didn’t say. Danene helped me sort out a career issue and our focus on self-care really did make a difference for me. Nurses need each other more than ever before; you won’t regret trusting Danene.

My wellness coach from July 2021 to September 2021 was Danene Shannon. She has spent a significant amount of time getting to know me, comprehending my daily activities, and developing a strategy for healthy living with me to enhance the level of both my physical and mental health.

I was able to perceive myself in a new light because to the worksheets and questionnaires that I filled out and discussed with Danene. I used to strive for excellence and be the go-to person for solutions to other people's issues. I soon understood the negative effects of having a demanding job and family schedule as well as a perfectionist mindset. When you push yourself too hard, your body will let you know. I have to learn to take the time to listen via the coaching in this program.

“Danene has such an intuitive and unique coaching style. Danene’s authenticity and vulnerability helped me to cut through extraneous fluff straight to the wounds causing me grief and my core meaningful truths. Not only was I able to identify my wounds, Danene empowered me to immediately find the antidote to my suffering. Her high levels of education, holistic methods and genuine interest helped me to transcend my pain and move toward wellness. I feel so privileged to have found Danene as a Nurse Coach, skilled energy-worker and ultimately  lifelong friend. Her coaching style is soothing, intentional and profoundly healing. I highly recommend her services”

“Danene is thoughtful and genuine. She has a way of making you feel at ease being in her presence. Danene has a coaching style that makes you feel like you are seen and heard. She supported me in finding my way back to what brings me the most joy in my life. I highly recommend Danene as a Nurse Coach for anyone struggling with life balance/ satisfaction or lifestyle choices. I am grateful to have met Danene and work with her as a Nurse Coach on my journey to improved holistic health.”

With a desire to foster resilience and focus on nurses’ well-being, we reached out to Danene to provide a full  hour of our Professional Development Day building resilience with our nurses.  Danene brought us to a peaceful place as she provided us with a sampling of various activities including the importance of self-care, stretching, chair yoga, and meditation.  The presentation was professionally delivered, and offered us the ability to provide moments of self-care not only on that day but on our own going forward.  Nurses are so busy caring for others, that we don’t take the time to care for ourselves, so this opportunity was impactful for our nurses.  We could benefit from regularly scheduled well-being moments so that we learn to pause, intentionally engage in self-care, and achieve higher productivity in a happier, more peaceful state of mind resulting from taking a few moments to center and refuel before we engage in caring for others.
