REGISTERED NURSE, BOARD CERTIFIED INTEGRATIVE NURSE COACH
Elizabeth Hayes
Elizabeth Hayes is a Registered Nurse as well as a Board-Certified Integrative Nurse Coach. After being in healthcare for nearly 20 years, Elizabeth understands that our current model falls way short of treating patients as whole beings, and not just symptoms of various conditions.
She herself spent years unable to walk without assistance and knows the battle of trying to be seen and heard in the allopathic model of pharmaceuticals and not being listened to by her medical team. Elizabeth is a holistic nurse who understands the mind/body/spirit connections to our wellbeing. She educated herself in all her options and has done her inner work to understand the underlying traumas beneath her condition and chronic pain. She was relentless in listening to her gut, finding the right medical professionals, and fought for her own autonomy and agency in her own care. Elizabeth no longer needs to crawl upstairs nor use a cane to walk. She knows the work that needs to be put in and the freedom that comes from not quitting on yourself.
-
She opened her own business, Compassionate Care Nursing Services, to be able to advocate and educate for others so they too may reclaim their autonomy over their health and overall wellness. Elizabeth understands that with autonomy comes responsibility. She also understands that our worlds can become very narrow while we are trying to find solutions and considers it an honor to be invited into one’s journey to help support patients as they find their way forward to sustainable wellness and joy.
As a patient herself for so many years, Elizabeth also understands the importance of clinically being treated as a person and not a condition. She values the importance of gentle, skilled hands and a well-educated, compassionate nurse. In her role as part of our team here at Neuropain Health, Elizabeth administers ketamine both intramuscularly and intravenously. She will never treat you less than, and strives to always make you feel safe and well cared for. She is proud to work alongside other incredible practitioners and is happy to be of good service to our patients in any capacity that serves them best.
