Holistic Nurse Academy is a nursing education provider based in Salt Lake City, Utah, offering continuing education and professional development for nurses and other healthcare professionals who want to incorporate complementary and holistic approaches into everyday patient care. Founded by Holly Taylor, BSN, RN, HNB-BC, the academy focuses on practical education that helps clinicians develop additional skills while keeping patient safety, professional scope, and responsible clinical application in mind.
The academy provides online, self-paced learning as well as selected in-person and team-based training. Its educational programs cover areas such as holistic nursing principles, acupressure, Reiki, manual lymphatic drainage, healing presence, mindfulness, integrative touch techniques, and other complementary modalities relevant to nursing practice. Several courses provide nursing continuing professional development contact hours approved through the American Holistic Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the ANCC Commission on Accreditation.
Holistic Nurse Academy also works with hospices and healthcare organizations that want structured in-service education for nursing teams. Training can be adapted around the needs of a particular clinical group, making the academy relevant not only to individual nurses seeking continuing education but also to organizations looking to expand staff knowledge of holistic and integrative approaches to patient comfort and wellbeing.
