Executive Summary
Business Name: Nurse Coach Harmony – Holistic Coaching Platform
Mission: To connect those seeking to provide and to empower those individuals seeking to achieve optimal health and well-being by integrating holistic nursing practices with personalized coaching, education, and support, all through an accessible online platform. To support and connect nurse coaches who are looking for those one-on-one connections without having to market or sell themselves individually.
Vision: To be the leading online resource to connect holistic nurse coaches, bridging the gap between healthcare professionals and wellness seekers, and fostering a healthier, more balanced person.
We are seeking seed financing to develop and launch an online platform that connects certified holistic nurse coaches with clients seeking personalized wellness and health guidance. This platform will offer more than just a connection but a range of services, including one-on-one coaching, wellness programs, educational resources, and workshops designed to promote sustainable, holistic health practices.

Business Description
The Nurse Coach Harmony Platform will combine the expertise of licensed and certified holistic nurse coaches with modern technology to create a supportive online platform. It will provide services like virtual coaching sessions, wellness assessments, workshops on topics such as stress management, nutrition, and integrative health practices, and provide a library of educational materials.
Holistic nursing focuses on treating the individual as a whole—mind, body, and spirit—and emphasizes wellness, prevention, and integrative care. With the growing interest in alternative medicine, preventive health, and wellness, we aim to fill the gap by providing access to certified holistic nurse coaches in an easily accessible, virtual format.
