We help nurses reclaim their energy, remember their worth, and rise out of burnout without guilt, shame, or having to "start over".
If you’re barely holding it together, craving space to feel like yourself again, or part of an organization ready to address nursing burnout + stress in a real and human way—there is a different path forward.
Welcome to
Nurturing The Nurse!
Nurses are experts at compassion—& often the last to receive it.
We collaborate with hospitals, nursing schools, and healthcare organizations to bring trauma-informed wellness programs directly to teams. From burnout prevention to stress resilience to boundary-building, these offerings provide sustainable care for the people who care for everyone else.
Hospital & Nursing Program Partnerships
In group settings, nurses gather to learn strategies for restoring balance, protecting their energy, and navigating the emotional and physical demands of the profession. These spaces offer not just education, but validation, reflection, and peer support that reminds you you’re not alone in this work.
Group Coaching & Wellness Workshops
We create space for you to reclaim your energy, release stress, and learn how to put your own well-being back at the center of your life and work. Through intentional guidance, reflection, and sustainable practices, you begin to feel like yourself again—rested, grounded, and clear.

Meet Kelly, a nurse who truly gets it
our founder
kelly dubowski msn, rn
Kelly knows firsthand what it feels like to pour into everyone else and forget yourself in the process. Like so many nurses, she hit a breaking point with burnout in 2020—a moment that pushed her to reclaim her energy, reconnect with her body, and create a more sustainable way to thrive in nursing and beyond.
With a Master of Science in Nursing concentrated in Holistic Nurse Coaching and over a decade of clinical experience, Kelly blends evidence-based holistic wellness, trauma-informed care, and lived nursing experience to offer practical, transformative support for nurses and students.
In 2023, she launched Hope with Kelly to bring holistic self-care and burnout support to individuals and communities. Her newest offering, Nurturing the Nurse, expands that mission with a focus on helping nurses restore balance, set boundaries, and reconnect with their purpose.
There is not enough support for nurses worldwide—and Kelly is actively working to change that.

- You’re not weak because you’re exhausted.
- You’re not selfish for needing rest.
- You’re not failing just because your body is asking for relief.
In case you forgot:
The truth is many nurses are...
- Running on empty but still showing up
- Silently absorbing grief, fear, and frustration
- Afraid to ask for help or slow down
- Carrying burnout like it’s part of the job
- Feeling guilty for wanting a different way
the modern reality of What nurses carry

"I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for last night's meeting, it was truly impactful. I even had the opportunity to apply some of the techniques during my midterm simulation today, and it made a noticeable difference. The experience was invaluable for both myself and all of the nursing students in class. I know that everyone who attended will take your words to heart and put what we learned into practice."

"Kelly helped me find time to reconnect with myself. She showed me that rest is practice & ways to explore more of it in my busy life. I discovered insights into pacing myself creating boundaries and giving myself permission to recharge in ways I never thought possible. Working with her has reminded me that self care is not selfish it is essential and it can actually make me a better nurse and a more centered person."

"I'm a RN specializing in holistic nutrition and women's hormones. I coach clients in both private 1:1 sessions as well as group programs. Kelly and I have worked together on a few occasions where she has hosted a call for my clients. I cannot recommend Kelly enough. She is professional, calming, educational, well spoken and very passionate about what she does and who she serves.
After every call Kelly has hosted for my team, I am flooded with messages about how much the call not only touched them, but helped provide a safe, secure, and relaxing space that they needed."

"I recently had the chance to attend a self-care workshop with Kelly and I am beyond impressed. From the moment the session began, her lighthearted and gentle energy created a space where I felt safe, seen, and truly understood. As a nurse navigating burnout, it’s easy to feel isolated or overwhelmed, but Kelly’s guidance reminded me that I am not alone. I walked away feeling lighter, more centered, and inspired to care for myself in a more compassionate way."
