About
Stephanie Garcia, RN ~ NurseHeartWisdom
OR Nurse • Trauma-Informed Coach • Heart-Led Guide for Nurses
I’ve stood where you’re standing.
Twenty years as a nurse. Fifteen in the Operating Room. I know what it feels like to have a surgeon scream at you in front of a full room — and to keep working, hands steady, while your body is frozen in shock. I know the grind. The disconnection. The moment you realize you’ve been showing up for everyone except yourself.
I also know what’s possible on the other side.
After a profound personal awakening — including finding a father I never knew, navigating divorce, and walking through my own depression — I dove deep into the biology and psychology of trauma. Through Dr. Gabor Mate’s trauma informed approach, Dr. Amy Apigian’s Biology of Trauma and Dr. Shefali’s Conscious Parenting framework, I found something nurses are rarely offered: a path back to our own humanity.
That’s what I bring to you.
At NurseHeartWisdom, I work with nurses who are tired of surviving their shifts and ready to understand why they feel the way they feel — in their bodies, in their relationships, in their careers. Together we explore the trauma threads that follow us into the job, the stories we inherited that aren’t ours to carry, and how to show up from a place of courage, calm, and authentic power.
You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be remembered.
On the other side of this work, nurses are reconnecting with their why. They’re feeling joy again — not despite the hard days, but through them. They’re reading their own nervous systems, handling the charge of a difficult provider, surgeon or colleague without taking it into their bodies, and showing up as the kind of colleague and human they actually want to be.
This isn’t about being a better nurse.
It’s about being a more whole person — who happens to be a nurse.
I offer 1:1 coaching, workshops, and a growing global nurse community — because healing doesn’t follow a hospital schedule, and you deserve a space that’s truly yours.
“You don’t need to be fixed. You need to be remembered.”
With warmth and care,
Stephanie 🤍

Parenting with heart
As a parent coach grounded in conscious parenting, I offer space for you to rediscover connection, break old patterns, and respond to your child—and yourself—with compassion and clarity.
Parenting isn’t about controlling our children—it’s about growing alongside them. As Dr. Shefali teaches, “Our children come to us to awaken us. ” My coaching sessions offer the tools, and support to help you awaken, evolve, and parent from a heart wisdom presence.
Each session is designed to help you return to your inner wisdom, align with your values, and show up fully for yourself and your child.
Parenting with heart doesn’t mean getting it perfect. It means showing up with courage, awareness, and love—even when it’s hard. These sessions will help you do just that.

Testimonials
Being part of the “Go with the Flow” retreat was a truly special experience for me, and one of the main reasons was our group leader Stephanie. From the very beginning, she created a warm, welcoming, and safe space where I felt seen and supported — even though we were there for the first time together and coming from different parts of the world. Her gentle presence, here ability to listen without judgement, and the way she held space for each of us made a huge difference. Thanks to her, I started feeling more comfortable and open around people I didn’t know. Her care and kindness reminded me how powerful it is when someone truly shows up for others. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and heart.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating such a magical, soul-nourishing retreat. What you put together was something truly huge - and I admire how you did it all without rigid structure or form. It was such a gift for me to experience the formless, and I absolutely loved it. It allowed me to just be, to surrender, and to feel life flowing through me in a completely new way.
Your energy is radiant, and your vessel is truly expansive. I felt so held, so loved, and so accepted in your presence. You created a space where I felt completely safe to show up as my real, raw self — and that’s incredibly rare and special.
I keep thinking about all the joyful, wild, beautiful moments we shared - screaming together in the lake and on the hill, laughing over delicious meals, dancing and singing like no one was watching, the sacred fire where we released what no longer served us… and especially the moment you held me through releasing my fear. That experience was profound. You held me so gently yet powerfully, and I’m deeply grateful. It was both beautifully human and deeply professional - pure grace.
Thank you for all your care, thought, and love in preparing this retreat-the meditations, the yoga session, everything flowed with such intention and presence. I cherished every single moment! With deep love and gratitude,
