Holly Kapusinski MSN, RN NC-BC CPNP-PC
integrative nurse coach
As a young girl, Holly was drawn to nature and helping others. She volunteered as a candy striper where she enjoyed interacting with patients and families. This fueled her desire to study nursing. After attending Purdue University for three years studying the natural sciences, she fulfilled her dream to become a nurse and proudly graduated from Akron City Hospital’s Idabelle Firestone School of Nursing in Akron, Ohio with her nursing diploma. She went on to obtain her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Akron with a focus on the health and well being of children. She was awarded ANCC’s credential of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in 1996 until 2001. She is currently certified by PNCB as a Primary Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. Holly’s love for children and her desire to teach her own children propelled her to stay at home and raise her family for a while. She not only nurtured her own children, but worked with Discovery Toys Inc. She shared her knowledge and love with the community, other parents, schools, and businesses discussing the importance of educational play in the bio, psycho, social, cultural, and emotional development of children.
Holly has had a life long interest in the impact of nutrition on a person’s well being, along with alternative healing therapies, and the mind, body, and spirit connection to a person’s well being. In 2017 she attended the International Nurse Coach Association program and obtained her Board Certification from AHNCC as an Integrative Nurse Coach in 2018. She went on to obtain additional advanced training in Clinical Nutrition from the Institute for Functional Medicine.
She established Life Cycle Balance LLC in 2018 and has led numerous community wellness seminars on topics ranging from stress management, health renewal, nutrition, brain health, caregiver stress, self care techniques, sleep, electromagnetic frequency toxins, and non violent communication techniques from the Center for Non Violent Communication. In 2020 she presented a workshop at the South Eastern Theatre Conference (SETC) in Louisville, KY on the use of NVC in theatre beginning with yourself.
She volunteers with Birthright, Panhandle Health District Medical Reserve Corps, in her church, and community. Her passions include spending time with her family, learning Latin and American Sign Language, hiking, snowshoeing, reading, cycling long distances, and traveling.
