"Pammie's ability to create a space that is so nurturing and safe is drawn from her deep well of compassion and love."
Pammie is an amazing human being and a powerful nurse coach. Her ability to create a space that is so nurturing and safe is drawn from her deep well of compassion and love. Her story is not only inspiring but helps create connections so that you truly feel that you are not alone in your experience. Her passion for empowering you along your journey is palpable, and I always felt braver and more capable after a session with her. She has the uncanny gift of taking what is dark and heavy and alchemizing it into light. If you feel you need someone who will sit with you in your deepest fears and pain and will give you the tools to see yourself as your own powerful knight on a white stallion, please reach out to Pammie.

"You are very easy to work with and make it very comfortable to be open and honest. No judgement"
When I first started working with you-I was having difficulty with balance in my life. I had a lot of competing priorities. You helped me to find balance and let go of the expectations that I was setting too high. You gave me permission to not have to do everything and that it was a season. You helped me to slow down my thinking.
You are very easy to work with and make it very comfortable to be open and honest. No judgment and help by asking great questions to help me think through my struggles.
The results I gained was that I didn't have to carry all my baggage and that it was ok to change my self expectations. You also helped me visualize and helped me with my long term goal in nurse coaching.
I learned it is ok to share your story and that there is always room for growth in one's self.
Pam, I think you are a beautiful person, caring, compassionate and will do a great job with any client you work with as a coach. You are very gifted and I am so grateful our paths have crossed.
Thanks for being a great coach!

"Our coaching sessions have been great! Just talking at times helped to get stuff off my chest. I loved working with Pammie. Just talking about what is happening to me and at times crying was healing."
I found out I had a brain tumor. A friend told me to contact Pammie to see if she could help me through this tough time. Our coaching sessions have been great! Just talking at times helped to get stuff off my chest. I loved working with Pammie. Just talking about what is happening to me and at times crying was healing. She did a mindfulness practice with me. During this practice, I created a peaceful paradise in my mind where I can go anytime I need to let go of frustration and feel calm. Our discussions always made me feel so much better. She helped me to realize that I need to look after myself, and not let my frustrations bring me down. I would recommend anyone in need of her. She is a great person and I loved talking with her. She is going to be a great coach!

"Thanks to Pamela, I am mindful of the importance of self-care and its positive impact on the quality of my work at home and professionally."
I highly recommend Pamela McQuesten as a holistic health coach. Pamela was great at listening and encouraging me to talk about what I needed to manage my life. When I began my sessions I was overwhelmed. I have a husband who has young-onset Alzheimer’s. His needs are constant. By holding space for me to talk, Pamela helped me see that self-care was my number one goal. I made a list of my needs for self-care. First off I am applying to our local area agency on aging for a grant that will help me be able to hire people to be with my husband while I work two afternoons a week. This will give me peace of mind. I have also installed two cameras in my home so that I can visually check in on my husband when I am away from the house until I can hire help. I am now getting a massage twice a month with Pamela’s encouragement. The experience of holistic health coaching has boosted my confidence to ask for help as my husband declines. I was held accountable by Pamela’s probing questions. I like being held accountable. Thanks to Pamela, I am mindful of the importance of self-care and its positive impact on the quality of my work at home and professionally. I am also pleased that my to-do list is shorter, and I have enough energy to continue my goal of creating income at Heartfelt Farm. My brain is now freed up to dream of creating a retreat destination for caregivers. Again, I highly recommend Pamela to anyone who is overwhelmed. She will hold space for you to recognize what you need to discover about yourself. Best wishes to Pamela as she pursues her new career as a transformative holistic health coach.

"Meeting with Pam helped me to organize my thoughts and gave me greater confidence and clarity to tackle projects. This input resulted in a greater sense of accomplishment and fewer feelings of overwhelm."
Before we started working together I was feeling very overwhelmed with responsibilities. Meeting with Pam helped me to organize my thoughts and gave me greater confidence and clarity to tackle projects. This input resulted in a greater sense of accomplishment and fewer feelings of overwhelm.
I truly enjoyed working with Pam. Her kindness and caring nature had such a positive influence on my life. I appreciated having a confidant whom I could trust and that would not judge but rather offer understanding, compassion, and gentle guidance to help redirect and alter my perspective.
It was helpful to connect with my own personal health advocate. She encouraged me to take time of myself and relax. It was a blessing to hear her input and recommendations to overcome the obstacles I was facing.
I learned the importance of taking time for myself to relax without having any distractions and make lifestyle changes including eating healthier and getting some form of enjoyable exercise. I also learned new ways to communicate my needs to my family, ask for help, and ways to delegate without sounding burdensome.
I would recommend anyone feeling stuck in a rut of confusion and chaos to seek nurse coaching. Also for anyone coachable looking for a non-bias outside perspective to improve personal growth.

Pamela encouraged me to use a variety of different strategies to improve my quality of sleep, such as mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditations were always difficult for me, however, she was able to talk me through a couple of different virtual mediations that I enjoyed.
Before I started working with Pamela, I was having difficulty with sleep and quieting my brain when I woke up in the middle of the night. Pamela encouraged me to use a variety of different strategies to improve my quality of sleep, such as mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditations were always difficult for me, however, she was able to talk me through a couple of different virtual mediations that I enjoyed. She also suggested a great app with different meditations and lessons that I have been using in times of need.
Not only did she focus on my sleep, but she also encouraged me to open up about different areas of my life. I soon became vulnerable with Pamela, which soon felt like a safe place for me and my thoughts. We discussed difficult aspects of my life, including previous trauma. Pamela talked me through a relaxing meditation to utilize when feeling anxious and triggered and provided me with a referral for a trauma therapist.
I truly enjoyed working with Pamela each week. I was hesitant to open up at first, but her calmness and kindness made all the difference in the world. I was challenged on many of my thoughts, which allowed me to think deeper into the way I was feeling. I appreciated the mental challenge and Pamela’s patience with me.
I recommend Pamela’s services and coaching to any individual struggling in almost any aspect of their life. Sometimes we feel like we have hit a dead end, but she will encourage you and guide you to think out of your own mental box. Ultimately, I gained a new safe space and I believe this would be true for anyone who decides to work with her.
Thank you for everything!
Best,
-Ashley

Before I started working with Pammie, I had difficulty making decisions. I am now able to make decisions and stick to them. I enjoyed the one-on-one coaching, especially being able to talk about what I was going through without being judged. I am now able to not second guess myself. I am smart, I can achieve. I recommend this to anyone that might benefit from coaching.

"Pammie helped me create a mental "safe space" and taught me how to use it whenever I need to calm down, which came in handy before a medical procedure."
I recently had the chance to practice mindfulness with Pammie, and it was incredibly helpful. She helped me create a mental "safe space" and taught me how to use it whenever I need to calm down, which came in handy before a medical procedure. I'm excited to share some of Pammie's techniques and calm approach with my clients to help them with incorporating mindfulness into their daily lives.

"The sessions helped me with my anxiety issues, the loss of my daughter, and dealing with disappointing expectations. I am dealing with these issues a lot better now because I see them from a different perspective."
I enjoyed my sessions with Pam McQuesten. The sessions helped me with my anxiety issues, the loss of my daughter, and dealing with expectations that were disappointing. I am dealing with these issues a lot better now because I see them from a different perspective. Sometimes I know the solutions to my problems, but I need reinforcement from another person, especially an experienced person. I plan to do my breathing exercises when I feel stressed and when I am focusing on issues that make me worry and I find myself dwelling on them.
Thank you,
-Tina Saker
"Working with Pamela (Pammie) McQuesten was such a great experience. Pammie had such positive energy and a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share! Anyone that has the privilege to work with Pammie as a Nurse Coach is so fortunate."
Working with Pamela (Pammie) McQuesten was such a great experience. Pammie had such positive energy and a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to share! We were able to discuss, discover, and share a lot that we had in common and I enjoyed her enthusiasm every time we met via Zoom as well as in person. Pammie was always very understanding, flexible and asked the right questions to inquire about how things were going in my life and helped me dig deep. A positive mindset is something I always struggle with so I chose to work with her on this important topic. Anyone that has the privilege to work with Pammie as a Nurse Coach is so fortunate. She was always so empathetic, compassionate, and patient; I always felt listened to! She validated my feelings as well as shared some personal information that helped me see things from a different perspective. Pammie challenged my thought process and helped me discover what was important in my life. She was able to help me put boundaries in place for family members that did not seem to understand my feelings. With Pammie’s guidance, I was able to see the “big picture” of what happiness and fulfillment could look like when I started putting my own needs before other’s needs as well as setting appropriate boundaries. Pammie held space for me when I needed her to just listen and offered words of encouragement as well. She shared with me a few powerful mindfulness exercises and experience with the trauma response that have helped her in the past. I would certainly recommend Pammie as a Nurse Coach to anybody that is stuck in the chaos of their own life. I would highly recommend Pammie to anyone who desires change in themself! She is a breath of fresh air and will be an asset to anyone that is lucky enough to work with her! I feel strongly that I have not only a fellow colleague, but also a friend! I am thankful for the experience and the support she has given to me in order for me to continue on my journey of inner peace, and happiness!
