Hi! I'm Rebecca Francis
RN, M.S., Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, NASM Certified Nutrition Coach.
I spent 30 years as a Registered Nurse before building 12 Steps 2 Radiance, a done-for-you coaching system for credentialed professionals who are ready to translate what they know into a coaching practice that works.
I understand both worlds: the clinical side and the coaching side. My programs are built to be scope-safe, ready to use, and designed for the nurse, NP, or health professional who is tired of starting from scratch.
A mission-driven note: A portion of every program sale supports Tambra Place, a sanctuary for young women transitioning out of the foster care system. When you invest in your coaching business, you are also investing in hers.
