Finally, Clinical Support After and Between Doctor Visits
When you leave a medical appointment, start a new medication, receive lab results, or are trying to make real lifestyle changes, it can be hard to know what to do next.
I’m Karen Bennett, RN — a private nurse advisor and nurse health coach. I help clients understand their health, organize their next steps, and feel more confident following through on the care plan their doctor gave them.
-
This is not rushed.
-
This is not one-size-fits-all.
-
This is private, personal RN support designed around you.
It's like having your own nurse in the family.
You get easy, quality unrushed time and access to a clinically trained professional who can help you decode your after visit summary (AVS) and set you on the right track to implementing the changes you need to optimize your health. I'll support you along the way, check in with you, keep you on track, help make any adjustments, answer your questions, find you resources and most of all provide you peace of mind.
Next time you leave the doctors office with new instructions - simply call me to talk it over.
I offer two types of support: private nurse advisory services and nurse health coaching.
Specialty Services
Available by appointment or monthly membership

As a high performing business executive with a demanding lifestyle, you need to be in top health to deliver results. So many people depend on you. You may have a business coach to work on the health of your business, but you also need an executive health coach to keep an eye on your biggest asset - optimal health.

As an executive health advisor, I help clients take a more organized, proactive approach to their health between medical visits.

Helping you track key health markers such as blood pressure, weight, symptoms, labs, sleep, and energy

Hello
My name is Karen Bennett
I'm an registered nurse, certified life and professional coach and founder of Sandpiper Functional Wellness Nurses.
As a former nursing leader consulting to and working with physicians and leaders for major clinic groups, I know there is a huge gap in patient support once a patient leaves the providers office.
I hope to help bridge that gap by building a nurse-led patient support service focused on empowering patients to be in control of their own health and wellness after they leave their appointment.
On a personal level, I'm based in the Windsor area of beautiful Northern Colorado where Paul and I enjoy the outdoors hiking and biking the Poudre Trail. We are West Coast "snowbirds" spending colder months in Southern California, continuing our love of everything outdoors.
