After many years working with nurses, Dierdre observed the need to serve her clients in a more holistic manner. Many of the nurses taking the board of nursing required courses were experiencing high levels of stress and uncertainty about their future. This prompted Dierdre to obtain her certification in life coaching in order to address these needs. She is qualified to help all nurses with life-balance issues and challenges.
