If You're Thinking about Starting a Business
- What if I have no prior business experience?
- What if my business can’t replace the income I currently get from my job?
- What if I make a terrible financial or legal mistake?
- What if nobody wants to buy my program or services?
- What if I try and fail?
The simple fact is, most nurses have no business education.
- Nursing schools typically don’t teach business skills, and
- Conventional business education is not designed with nurses’ knowledge, experience, ethics, and licenses in mind
The problem is a lack of personalized business education, guidance, and support from MORE EXPERIENCED NURSE ENTREPRENEURS whose values are like yours.
Without this, it's normal for us to feel overwhelmed about starting a business!

Our Students Say...
"“I went from feeling insecure and having no clue about business to attracting clients who are paying me. And I am no longer afraid of asking people for money because I know the value of my service.” ~ 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
My Path to Thriving with My Nurse-Owned Business
Hello. I'm Sharon Burch, MSN, APRN, PHCNS-BC, APHN-BC, HWNC-BC, the founder of New Directions for Nurses and LiberatedNurse.com.
Before I became a nurse entrepreneur, I was stressed out by my full-time nursing job and desperate to live a more holistically healthy lifestyle. A friend who was learning massage therapy gave me my first massage. I could feel the stress fall off my body like armor, and it woke me up to a new vision of what health could look and feel like.
Inspired by my friend, I got massage therapy training and started doing massage "on the side" of my full-time nursing job. That was in 1984. In 1989, I went into the massage therapy business full time, co-created a group practice in a medical center and reached my goal of having a balanced, healthy lifestyle. In 1993, I added health coaching to my massage practice.
My Goal Was Freedom
In 2001, I took my business 100% online and enjoyed the "laptop lifestyle."
Then in 2010, I sold my online CE business and took a couple of years off. During that time, I studied with some of the world’s top online business mentors and translated their business practices into holistic nursing business practices. During the next 10 years, I:
Founded and directed the nonprofit "HolisticNursingCE.com" (2012 - 2023)
Helped establish the nonprofit "Hawaii Yoga Institute" and served as President of the Board and then Executive Director (2015-2022)
With "HolisticNursingCE.com" mostly running itself, I served as the Holistic Nurse Practice Specialist position at the American Holistic Nurses Association (2016-2019)
I was a Health & Wellness Nurse Coach at the Atma Holistic Primary Care Clinic (2019-2021)
In 2022, the Liberated Nurse Business Incubator was born
