The Integrative Nurse Coach® Academy | International Nurse Coach® Association (INCA) was created with the vision of promoting and supporting the unique role of Nurse Coaches who are assisting individuals, groups and communities in realizing and reaching their greatest health potentials and goals.
Our INCA philosophy encompasses an understanding that the Nurse Coach honors the whole person using principles and modalities that integrate body -mind- emotions- spirit-environment.
The International Nurse Coach® model respects all beliefs and cultures as essential components of health and well-being.
Through a suite of accredited programs, our mission is to reignite the passion for nursing by cultivating a global community dedicated to learning, networking, and reconnecting with the heart and art of nursing through Integrative Nurse Coaching. We aim to empower nurses with advanced knowledge, skills, and a holistic understanding of whole-person health, guiding nurses and their clients on a journey toward meaning and purpose in life and work.
We strive to bridge the gap between traditional healthcare and integrative practices, creating an environment that prioritizes personalized care, preventive measures, and the nurturing of an individual’s innate healing abilities.
We envision integrative nurse coaches leading the charge in enhancing global healthcare outcomes and fostering wellbecoming through an empowered nursing profession.
Our H.E.A.L.I.N.G. values guide our actions and behaviors in nursing practice, business, and personal life, promoting a holistic way of being and demonstrating kindness and respect to all.
Today, there are approximately 4 million nurses in the U.S. and over 28 million globally working in all sectors of healthcare. With years of experience, skills, and knowledge, nurses are seeking new directions and meaningful employment options. Many nurses are leaving the current medical model disenchanted with the modern technological focus, and seek to reconnect to their roots in the healing arts and carative tradition.
Integrative Nurse Coaches are integrating this new role across diverse health care settings and are using a person-centered model to provide skilled preventive health strategies, healing modalities, and substantive coaching skills to enhance health outcomes.
As Integrative Nurse Coaches, we recognize the current crisis in healthcare and we view these challenges as opportunities for nurses to take action as informed, inspired, and effective leaders within an emerging healthcare model that focuses on prevention and wellness promotion.
Integrative Nurse Coaches offer new skills and expand the nurse role toward achieving these important goals for the wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.
Research shows that the therapeutic presence and interaction between a nurse and patient can be a healing moment, providing comfort, support, and lowering the stress response.
An Integrative Nurse Coach promotes wellness and resiliency by guiding clients/patients to deepen connection to their inner healing resources and their capacity to make meaningful choices and to help establish goals and strategies for healthier lifestyle behaviors.
Our programs place a strong emphasis on cross-cultural competence. As a result, an Integrative Nurse Coach® is inherently an International Nurse Coach™.
This allows our nurse coaches to effectively and confidently work with patients from various cultural backgrounds and provide them with the necessary care that meets their unique needs and requirements.
Our courses are designed to equip nurses with the essential skills and knowledge to provide holistic care and support to patients and their families, regardless of their cultural or ethnic backgrounds.
International Nurse Coaches™ are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of providing patient-centered care in a multicultural environment.
