Kelly Dubowski, MSN, RN, is a Holistic Nurse Coach, wellness educator, and founder of Nurturing The Nurse and Hope With Kelly. Based in San Diego, California, Kelly combines over a decade of healthcare experience with advanced training in holistic nurse coaching to support nurses and helping professionals navigating burnout, chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and nervous system overwhelm.
After experiencing burnout early in her own nursing career, Kelly became passionate about understanding the deeper factors that impact well-being within healthcare. Her work bridges evidence-informed nursing practice with holistic approaches that support the whole person, including mindfulness, nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, emotional well-being, guided meditation, reflective practices, and sustainable self-care.
Through one-on-one coaching, wellness education, workshops, speaking engagements, and community-based support programs, Kelly helps nurses reconnect with themselves beyond their professional roles. Her approach recognizes that many healthcare workers have been taught how to care for others but have received very little guidance on how to care for themselves in ways that feel restorative, realistic, and sustainable.
As the founder of Nurturing The Nurse, Kelly advocates for a more human-centered approach to healthcare worker well-being, helping individuals and organizations create environments where employee well-being is supported through connection, self-awareness, emotional safety, and meaningful restoration rather than simply pushing through stress and exhaustion.
Kelly is also the creator of Nourish, a nurse well-being membership community inside Nurturing The Nurse designed to provide ongoing support, restorative practices, live wellness experiences, and meaningful connection for nurses seeking a more sustainable relationship with themselves and their work. Through Nourish, members gain access to a digital library of on-demand mindfulness practices, guided meditations, nurse well-being education, community support, live (& recorded) restoration classes, and wellness resources that help them cultivate sustainable well-being inside and outside of healthcare.
Kelly's work focuses on supporting nurses and caregivers through burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, emotional well-being, and holistic self-care. She believes healthcare professionals deserve more than strategies to simply cope with chronic stress—they deserve support that helps them reconnect with themselves. Through coaching, education, speaking, and restorative wellness experiences, Kelly helps nurses build sustainable well-being, strengthen their relationship with themselves, and remain connected to their humanity while navigating the demands of modern healthcare. She serves clients virtually and throughout the San Diego area. 🤍
