Caring Science - Caritas Coaching
As a certified and experienced Caritas Coach, I work with Healthcare Professionals to care for self and deliver compassionate and authentic caring-healing support to patients and to lead in their institutions with intentional authentic healthcare practices. I provide Caritas focused coaching to deepen clinical practice based upon Watson’s Theory of Human Caring* thereby delivering patient-centric care and health practices rooted in compassionate care.
*Caring Science is a human science interdisciplinary approach to human caring processes, phenomena and experiences. The ultimate outcome of Caritas Coaching is to deepen and sustain our shared humanity, preserve human caring, human dignity and wholeness as the highest gift to self, systems, society and humankind worldwide; to be part of the evolution of human caring as the highest ethical commitment to humankind and society.“ (Dr. Jean Watson, Watson Caring Science Institute, Boulder, CO.)
HeartMath
HeartMath is a scientifically researched powerful mind-body method to tap into the heart’s energy to help heal our bodies and our lives. HeartMath is designed to be used “in the moment”, especially in stressful situations. Through learning and applying self-regulating breathing techniques and generating positive emotions HeartMath leads to psychological and psychophysiological mind-body shifts and a state of coherence*.
*“Coherence is the state of achieving harmony and optimal functioning with increased emotional stability, mental clarity, and cognitive functioning. When our brains/minds and bodies/hearts are in alignment, we function at higher levels and we feel a sense of improved well-being.” (HeartMath Institute, Boulder Creek, CA.)
“When we’re engaged with our hearts, the mind slows down and our thoughts become more rational and focused.” (Doc Childre, Founder HeartMath Institute.)
