My coaching journey started in the most unexpected place — on the floor of my basement cleaning up water damage. That’s where I first heard the words that shifted everything: “Overwhelm is optional.”
As a Critical Care RN, I spent years believing stress and success came from what I could control. But the truth was simpler: my overwhelm was coming from my mind, not my job.
Learning to regulate my nervous system and trust my emotional authority changed my entire life — at work, at home, and in who I believed myself to be.
Now, I help professionals, leaders and organizations create the same shift:
more steadiness, more clarity, and more power without pressure.
Hi, I'm Christi.
I’m Christi, an RN and coach who has spent two decades in critical care. I’ve seen communication heal, harm, connect, and transform — and those moments shaped my work.
Healthcare providers show up powerfully for everyone else. I coach to help them show up for themselves.
At ARC Coaching, I support individuals and organizations in creating clarity, calm, and meaningful connection in the work they do every day.
Hi, I'm Andrea.
We started this work after nearly twenty years in critical care, decades spent at bedsides where people's lives changes forever. We have witnessed suffering that reshapes families, optimism that defies logic, and the humanity that lives in the space between what clinicians do and what patients and families experience.
Those moments taught us something: emotional overload starts in a split second, the point of strain where stress becomes conflict, error, or shutdown. It’s the moment school never trained us for.
That’s why we coach.
ARC Coaching is different. Our model is the only model that addresses that exact moment. We train clinicians and leaders to regulate, communicate, and lead in real time, in the moments where healthcare systems either succeed or fracture. This isn’t resilience training, this is emotional authority, communication, clarity, and the ability to prevent burnout before it starts.
High-level coaching changes everything for healthcare professionals. It builds teams who can solve problems faster and strengthens communication — the place where healing and harm both begin. And it gives clinicians skills they can carry into every patient, family, and team interaction.
Because wellbeing is not an initiative.
It’s a practice.
A practice of being human, together, in a field that asks everything of us.
ARC Coaching exists to make that practice possible.
