Speaker Bio
Janet Booth MA, RN, NC-BC has worked as a nurse for over 34 years within the intersection of quality of life and end of life, and she is deeply curious about what creates and sustains well-being throughout the human experience.
Her initiation into the world of death and dying came during nursing school as an unexpected calling. She had started school with the intention of becoming a midwife and helping birth babies. But then she heard a clear call to serve instead as a midwife for the dying. Since that time, Jan has never looked back. Her work trajectory has taken her from the bedside of hospice and palliative care patients to supporting the well-being of caregivers, and now into the larger community to further open our cultural conversation about end of life.
As an Integrative Nurse Coach, Jan focuses on the practice of well-being in aging, illness, and dying. She supports people in navigating serious illness, helps families to talk more openly about end-of-life priorities, and provides health coaching for both professional and personal/family caregivers.
She serves as faculty for both the Conscious Dying Institute's end-of-life coaching and doula programs, and for the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy's certificate programs. Her book, "Re-Imagining the End of Life: Self-development and Reflective Practices for Nurse Coaches", won the American Journal of Nursing's Best Books of 2019 award in the categories of Palliative Care & Hospice and Professional Issues.
