ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Bryanna (“Bry”) is an RN for 7 years, and a Board Certified Nurse Coach in private practice for 2 years. She spent the first 5 years of her career dodging burnout until she realized she had created her entire life around serving others. Knowing she couldn’t sustain this personally or professionally she recommitted to herself. She got to the root of her self-sacrifice, took action on realistic self-care, and created relationships that were of equal give and take. Now, this is the work she is honored to support other Nurses in through 1:1 individualized coaching and the Braving Wellness breathwork and meditation community.
