“I received coaching from Jay Olegario. He is very personable, making it easy to open up and share what was on my mind. I came to Jay with a long to-do list and not really knowing where to start with it all. He helped me organize my list and get things done one by one, freeing up some much needed time with my family and helping me feel accomplished. On multiple occasions he brainstormed with me and helped me get some tasks on the computer accomplished that I had no idea how to do. He made this a...

“For years I knew I was not living a healthy lifestyle. Many people would tell me to eat better or even go to the gym and of course, I wouldn’t take them seriously. My excuse was that I am in control of my life and I live it my way. Honestly, my way meant a lot of times feeling alone and not being able to share with anyone my health problems. That changed when I was able to work with Nurse Coach Jay. Jay created a space where I felt safe to share what I was going through which was impacting my h...

“Both my wife and I work full time. In addition to school, our kids have normal activities like gymnastics, piano, and ballroom dancing. I was struggling with time management and making time for exercise. Working with Jay gave me little "life hack" ideas to incorporate exercise throughout the day. For example, walking around the parking lot while the kids are at practice, purchasing a small treadmill for the office, and joining an accountability group to do a 45-min activity 4 times per week or...

“I want to thank Jay for reinforcing my beliefs in mindfulness practice. I have done mindful breathing for several years. I have had a wonderful experience sharing it with Jay. In turn, Jay has brought a fresh new perspective and opened me up to several different media which offer interesting and various ways to practice my mindfulness breathing technique. Several of which I will be using myself and passing on to others. Jay also has a soothing voice which is very calming. I have enjoyed working...

“I want to thank Jay for being my mindfulness practice partner. He always had a great attitude and made our sessions enjoyable. Jay was able to introduce me to a new mindfulness practice he created and made me feel empowered by his words by the end of the session. I truly believe having the ability to help others feel comfortable, relaxed and in a good mood is a skill that Jay has. I enjoyed my time working with him and I would recommend him as a Nurse Coach and Mindfulness Practice partner to a...

“Before I began coaching with Jay, I was doing ok but was beginning to put on weight and not eating as well as I could. I was also not exercising as I should. Conversations with Jay helped me to refocus and have someone to hold me accountable to those good habits. It was a real pleasure working with Jay. I had some more personal, private health issues to work out and Jay helped me feel comfortable to open up and be completely honest about some sensitive subjects. I most appreciated his gentle ho...

"Jay was my student in Barstow, CA, and what a wonderful young man he was to teach.We reconnected through Facebook, and I found him to be the most amazing adult. He is a man of integrity who is spiritual, joyful, family-centered, all the components that make a successful human. When he needed someone to practice his coaching skills with, I quickly volunteered. Who wouldn’t want to hang out with Jay and have them encourage them? I am a 74-year-old retiree that still enjoys life and volunteers to...

“Jay is a true expert in his field. I found him to be knowledgeable and demonstrate expertise in all areas I wanted to work to improve. He listened to me and helped me build the right practice and habits for me. I truly felt his investment in my well-being.Before starting my nurse coaching sessions with Jay, for several months, I was suffering from insomnia-which led to fatigue midday. I had trouble falling asleep at night- and would sometimes instead scroll away on my phone. I also experienced...

“My decision to explore holistic nurse coaching stemmed from feeling exhausted from stress and lack of sleep, and growing frustrated with other options that hadn’t yielded much success. I believe I knew what avenues to explore for resolution, but having Jay’s guidance provided a source of external motivation and accountability. Jay created a safe space which made me feel comfortable sharing from a place of vulnerability. Having an open dialogue with an unbiased professional about contributing fa...

“I spoke with Jay about starting to learn how to play the piano. Although I’m still researching options on how to learn (app vs book) I have a couple of friends that want to learn with me and we are starting to get together to learn. I love working with Jay. He’s easy to talk to is a great listener and we have similar senses of humor so it was super fun meeting with him every week. I definitely am more excited about starting this process. I was convinced that if I wasn’t practicing 1 hour I shou...
