Self-Care Academy was created from the desire to combine the theory of caring science, research in Compassion Fatigue and extensive self-care knowledge. Studies have shown a direct relationship between lack of self-care in caregivers and increased risk of Compassion Fatigue. Self-Care Academy founder, Kim Richards, a nurse, fitness/yoga instructor and Health Coach is passionate about self-care awareness and strongly believes that caregivers need practical tools to help navigate the complex, intense and ever changing healthcare environment.

Self-Care Academy integrates the elements of mind, body and spirit to create self-nurturing,  self-compassionate and healthy self-care behaviors in an effort to support individual resiliency, improve teamwork and ultimately improve patient care.

Self-Care Academy is committed to providing the most convenient program to fit the needs, budget and outcomes of caregivers and employers.

Healing ourselves is pivotal to healing others.

Obligatory or guilt-driven self-denial is always undermining, leading to anger, resentment and pain.  An empty vessel has little to offer.  Moreover, giving to others without first taking care of ourselves is inevitably an act of self-sabotage.
