We Provide Business Courses, Coaching & Advising Services that Help You Turn Your Nursing Experience into a Sustainable Business
The Liberated Nurse Business Academy (LNBA) is designed to help 4 types of nurses who are looking for more freedom, fulfillment, and financial security.
THINKING ABOUT starting a business & have questions (Stage 0)
READY TO START a business & want expert guidance (Early Stage 1)
HAVE A BUSINESS that's not generating consistent income (Late Stage 1)
HAVE A BUSINESS & want to take it to the next level (Stage 2 & beyond)
What Are Developmental Stages in Business?
Developmental stages in business refer to the natural progression businesses undergo as they grow and mature.
Similar to human development, business development stages come with distinct characteristics, challenges, and milestones that a business must complete. Skipping developmental milestones can undermine a business's ability to thrive.
Understanding which stage a business is in helps nurse business owners identify current needs, anticipate future hurdles, and apply appropriate strategies for sustainable growth and success.
Key factors such as financial resources, personnel, systems, resources, operations, managerial skills, and marketing strategies change across the stages.
Which Developmental Stage Is Your Business In?

Meet the Founder of the Liberated Nurse Business Academy
Hi, I'm Sharon Burch.
Through our online business courses, group coaching, and private 1:1 services, we show nurses how to grow thriving, sustainable businesses they love. Our clients value their nursing identity and the public’s trust. Now, they want to learn to increase their autonomy, freedom, and fulfillment.
I’ve been a holistic nurse entrepreneur since 1984 and a holistic continuing nursing education (CNE) provider since the mid-1990s, when I pioneered selling CNE courses online. I’ve studied business in-depth with many “conscious” online business mentors and translated their business practices into nursing practices.
I’ve founded several successful for-profit and nonprofit businesses, including a hospital-based massage therapy group practice, and I’ve provided business development and marketing consultation to the American Holistic Nurses Association, the American Holistic Nurses Credentialing Corporation, the Hawaii Yoga Institute, and others.
Today, I direct New Directions for Nurses, where the Liberated Nurse Business Academy and Development Community helps entrepreneurial nurses own their power, realize their potential, and grow thriving, sustainable businesses they love.
Our Liberated Nurse Business Academy Students Say...
"I was stuck in fear and didn't know how to build a business or believe in myself. Once I started the Incubator, the feedback helped me get past my 'imposter syndrome' feelings and develop self-confidence. Now I'm on my way to creating a viable business!" ~ Grace Orosz, RN-BC, HN-BC
"I started with no business education or experience. Within the first several months of the Liberated Nurse Business Incubator lessons and coaching, I secured my first contract and leveraged that opportunity to propel me forward in the growth of my business." ~ Maria Loebach, BSN, RN, HTCP
"I went from being insecure and having no clue about business, to feeling that I know not just how to attract clients and have them pay for my service, but having deep insights into who I am and why I want to help. This makes it so much easier to know my next step.” ~ Maja Cæcilie Hansen Hofstetter, RN, Denmark
"Before working with Sharon, I felt super confused, anxious, and overwhelmed with all the different tasks and marketing strategies. Now I feel so much more in flow instead of like I'm pushing a heavy rock uphill!" ~ Alyssa Saquilayan, BSN, RN, NC-BC
