028: Healing and Empowering Carers With Nurse Jacqui O’Connor

Nov 12

In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I speak with Nurse Jacqui O’ Connor of Heart Place New Zealand. Jacqui is an advocate of healing and empowering carers.

Her unique life experiences, deep spiritual connection, and practitioner tools are an indicator that she is not your average, traditional coach.

It is Jacqui’s mission to offer the kind of care that has long been missing. Through this, caring professionals feel supported and develop their self-confidence and self-worth.

In this episode, Jacqui shares her lifelong belief that in order for carers to become and offer the best version of themselves, they have to heal from within. When carers become advocates for themselves, they continue doing what they love.

For caring professionals experiencing compassionate fatigue or burnout, this episode is definitely for you.
