When caring becomes to heavy to hold alone.

I’m Heather Newman, BScN — a program developer, occupational-health–informed coach, and the creator of Nurse Interrupted™, an evidence-aligned emotional load management framework for care providers.
After years of absorbing stress and pushing past my limits, I rebuilt my boundaries and developed practical strategies to manage emotional load, reconnect with purpose, and sustain my capacity to care. Combined with my background in nursing and disability management, this work became the foundation of the Nurse Interrupted™ approach.
I also recognize that burnout isn’t an individual failure. It is shaped by staffing realities, workplace violence, and the emotional demands nurses carry every day.
Emerging research shows that brief, structured reflection and targeted micro-interventions can reduce emotional distress in healthcare professionals. Nurse Interrupted™ integrates these evidence-aligned practices with FloN™, an AI-supported reflection companion that provides a safe, structured space to pause, reflect, and reset during demanding days. FloN™ does not provide therapy or clinical advice; it enhances awareness and supports emotional regulation between sessions.

Nurse Interrupted™ is not just a coaching conversation — it’s a structured, evidence-aligned framework designed specifically for nurses who want to manage their emotional load and prevent burnout.
In one-on-one sessions, we apply the core components of the Nurse Interrupted™ approach. You’ll learn how to:
This is about giving you a practical, professionally-aligned way to reduce emotional strain — without adding more to your plate. Each session is focused on integrating these tools into your real-world challenges, helping you sustain your capacity to care without losing yourself in the process.

Nurse Interrupted™ is a structured, evidence-aligned program that helps healthcare teams manage emotional load, reduce preventable strain, and strengthen workforce capacity. It complements existing occupational health, safety, and wellness initiatives.
The program provides:
A recent pilot demonstrated significant reductions in absenteeism and a strong return on investment for the organization, driven by decreased sick-time usage and improved day-to-day functioning on clinical teams.
Nurse Interrupted™ offers a practical, measurable way to support staff well-being and stabilize clinical teams.

"Heather's services were extremely helpful! Heather was assigned as my wellness coach through my employer. During our sessions she suggested some ways in which to reduce my anxiety and manage it when I felt it was coming on. These suggestions included mindfulness meditation, tapping for anxiety, exercise and healthy eating. Through her coaching I have been able to reduce and control my anxiety allowing me to better deal with stressful situations. I am now making mindfulness meditation and exercise a regular routine in my life as I realize the value and importance of these practices in daily life. By incorporating these practices in my life I am once again sleeping without the use of medication. I highly recommend her for wellness coaching
Thanks for your help in getting back to my old me.
