About Me
My story
Welcome! I am Alley, a Registered Nurse based in Squamish, BC, with specialized training in Oncology Care, Cancer Coaching, Holistic Nursing, Holistic Nurse Coaching and Consulting. I have extensive experience working alongside individuals and their loved ones during life’s most vulnerable and rawest experiences, helping them to navigate living with a chronic or life-limiting illness and learn to thrive again in a world stricken with grief and uncertainty.
Through my personal experience of losing my daughter in infancy and my years of nursing individuals and families through challenging health journeys, I recognized a gap in whole-person centered care. I am devoted to providing compassionate, whole-person care and guiding individuals through life’s most challenging journeys.
My specialties, skills, and life experience lie in cancer care, life-limiting illness, life-transitions, end-of-life care, survivorship, grief, and loss. I specialize in providing integrated nursing care and support for individuals and families facing these challenges.
