Hi, I’m Kathy, an experienced Registered Nurse, Supervisor and Coach based in Hamilton, New Zealand.

I moved into nursing education and leadership roles in the early 2000’s, where I have gained incredibly valuable skills.

I have worked with people from all age ranges and walks of life. The skills I learned through working with health professionals led me to start my own supervision and coaching business. I am a trained life and abundance coach, health coach and Supervisor for Health and Social Service Professionals. And I bring to this over 20 years managing, coaching and mentoring people in the many roles I have held.

I have always had a very strong interest in supporting, mentoring and developing others, so I decided a natural progression to this would be to undertake a qualification in supervision.

My specialties and areas of interest are:

  • Nursing leadership, management and education

Please don’t hesitate to give me a call if you have any queries or would like to discuss how I work. I look forward to hearing from you.

New Entry to Specialist Practice (NESP) Clinical Coordinator

Profile

I came to nursing in my mid-30’s as a single mum wanting to find a job that gave me purpose and a profession, graduating in 2009. For the first 7 years of my career I worked in Older Persons, Forensic and Adult Acute mental health inpatient units. After that I worked in an inpatient therapeutic community, a community day programme and then taught and coordinated undergraduate mental health nursing papers. My current position involves supporting new graduate and new to mental health nurses in their first year of mental health nursing practice.

I have been fortunate to have access to clinical supervision right from the start of my career and I believe it has been one of the key factors in helping me stay in nursing, especially during the tough times. I completed Clinical Supervisor training in 2016 and have been privileged to provide clinical supervision since then.

My electic supervision style incorporates aspects of Transactional Analysis, Narrative theory and Solutions Focused. The focus is on supporting you to use clinical supervision as a restorative, normative and formative tool to develop your clinical practice and create a sustainable nursing career.

Professional Supervisor / RN

Profile

I have a special interest in providing supervision for nurses/support workers who are working in the areas of palliative care, aged care, or dementia services. I have both clinical and education experience in these fields. Much of my learning/teaching focus has been on communication and its role in the provision of care. This continues to be an area of interest for me.

My supervision sessions are based on a reflective model - reflection on practice is one of the best ways to learn. “The best teachers are not outside of us – they are inside.” I am looking forward to working with supervisees who are willing to look honestly at their own practice, their contribution to the workplace and embrace new learning. 

CV available upon request.

Current role/title

RN, Professional supervision supervisor

Profile

A significant part of my clinical experience has been acute care environments including general intensive care, coronary care and cardiothoracic intensive care. I became a hospital coordinator at a private surgical hospital for a number of years and then became a nurse educator, managing a team of four other educators. I now solely provide professional supervision for nurses.

The manaakitanga of the nurse educator and hospital coordinator roles led me to develop my skills further by completing a post graduate certificate in professional supervision in 2023. This provided the theoretical background to my professional supervision practice.

However, I believe it is my enthusiasm, understanding of people and nursing issues plus previous nursing experience that provides effective guided reflection to my clients. This helps them to further develop their critical thinking and nursing practice, promote patient safety and keep nursing’s principles and codes at the forefront of how we work and interact.

I recognise that culturally safe practice is a skill we must develop as nurses and reflecting on one’s own personal and professional experience, culture, attitudes and unconscious bias is vital to deliver culturally sensitive care. Professional supervision assists with this process through practice reflection, guidance and support.

Professional supervision guides nurses to work within the Nursing Council of New Zealand’s code of conduct as they navigate through nursing issues in their daily practice.

Qualifications

  • Registered Nurse
  • Postgraduate certificate in Health Sciences
  • Postgraduate certificate in Professional Supervision.

Current role/title

RN / clinical nurse manager

Profile

My name is Ilona (pronounced Elona). I grew up in the Netherlands, where at the age of 18 I began my nursing career in the Dutch Army. Since then I have worked across a wide range of clinical settings which include surgical wards, ICU and dialysis.

In 2017 I moved to New Zealand, to live a life more connected to nature and the outdoors. Since relocating I have worked in aged care, primary care and rural community nursing within Māori health. I currently work as a Clinical Nurse Manager on the beautiful West Coast of the South Island.

I developed a passion for professional supervision after experiencing firsthand how transformative it was for my own practice and wellbeing. Having dedicated and protected time to reflect on my work, navigate career transitions, explore challenges (and celebrate wins), and be supported without judgement helped me overcome self‑doubt and gain clarity about where I wanted to go in my career.

This experience inspired me to complete a postgraduate certificate in professional supervision, work towards a Master of Health Sciences, and establish my own supervision and coaching practice to support other nurses on their own journeys.

I am particularly excited to support nurses balancing work, study, and personal life; immigrant nurses adapting to new environments, understanding how challenging this can be; and those seeking a space to pause, reflect, and grow.

I offer a free 30‑minute meet‑and‑greet to explore whether we are a good fit to work together. If you are interested, please email info@lifeshift.nz.

CV available upon request.
