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.
This model respects all beliefs and cultures as essential components of health and well-being.
Our mission is to provide nurses with a global community for learning, networking, and reconnecting to the heart and art of nursing through Integrative Nurse Coaching.
Our vision positions Integrative Nurse Coaches at the forefront of improving the overall health and wellbeing of people across the globe. Nurse Coaches are leading the lifestyle change movement by assisting individuals, groups & communities in achieving their greatest human potential.
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.
