"Hueina Su has written an excellent book for health care professionals, caregivers and all nurturers. As public health care and patient advocate, I have worked with many doctors, nurses, cancer survivors and caregivers over the years. I have noticed that, all too often, we health care professionals don't always practice what we preach. As a result, we are very prone to stress and burnout. Hueina's book is a timely reminder for all of us to put our own health and well-being as a top priority, while we attempt to take care of our patients and loved ones. Through her personal story and coaching exercises, Hueina offers patients and caregivers inspiration, hope as well as practical tools for better self-care, joy and fulfillment."

Although this book was written for caregivers, everyone who reads it will find useful tools to navigate through everyday life, work and family situations. As we move through life, we are all nurturers and caregivers for someone, in some way at some time. This book reminds us that we must not only provide care for others, we must also take excellent care of ourselves. This book provides simple and practical solutions, support and guidance for all kinds of nurturers - including you!"

Her insightfulness sheds light on the relationships we take on in all the roles we play. This book is a must read for the caretakers of the world or who feed on caretakers to take care of their needs.
Hueina Su’s ability to take a look at our own roles and how they play out in our relationships is the first step for change to occur. She continues to provide samplings of ways you can support that change for yourself to bring greater balance and substance into your life and into the lives that we live.”

Thanks to books like Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul, more and more women have the opportunity to transform their lives by receiving support for putting themselves and their emotional and physical well-being first!”
-- Renee Peterson Trudeau, author, The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate and Re-Balance Your Life and president, Renee Trudeau & Associates, www.reneetrudeau.com
“The love one share with others starts from a seed of self love and it grows endlessly to enrich others. Everyday parents instinctively nurture their children as all animals do. However, Hueina shows you how to extend the love towards work and caring for others outside of family. She introduces ways to first achieve inner happiness and therefore bring happiness to others. I feel this book is really a guide book for everyone who cares about others, a professor mentoring a student, a master guiding an apprentice, and surely a caregiver for a patient. This book should be an owner's manual for life."
-- Shih-Fen Chow, MD, Board of Advisors, American Cancer Society Eastern Division - Asian Initiative
“Drawing on the rich cultural heritage of her Chinese family, Hueina Su artfully tells her story of love, family, relationships and the essence of the nurturer's soul.
By blending heartfelt anecdotes of her personal experiences, Hueina conveys her words of encouragement much the way you could imagine her caring for the most delicate patient.
By conveying a message of self-love, including exercises in recognizing one's needs, the author successfully brings her skills as a daughter, mother, nurse and certified life coach to the reader in a relaxed style that is sure to bring wisdom, strength and comfort to the reader.”
-- René Cantwell, Founder, Families of Loved Ones Magazine, Providing Strategies and Resources for Caregivers, www.familiesoflovedones.com
“Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul fills a much-needed market niche. Caregivers will find the author's advice practical, yet heartfelt. She guides the reader with 'baby steps' that are achievable by anyone involved in caregiving. Caregivers will know instantly that Hueina Su understands them and the difficult journey they are traveling.”
-- Christine Spear, Editor in Chief, Silk Purse Women magazine, www.SilkPurseWomen.com
"Huiena and I share a similar philosophy that self-care is not selfish, but serves the highest good of all. A healthy life offers a balance of give and take; of giving and receiving support. This is especially true to caregivers, parents, and any one in a helping or healing profession. And yet many of us stumble on the, "Yes, but how?" question. Huiena's book and experience provides a clear path for implementing this philosophy of self-care into practical steps, a pathway to balance and restoration. We can all benefit from her loving message, one that has the power to transform individual relationships as well as our society as a whole."

Hueina Su, The Nurturer's Coach
TM, is an expert in helping people find the missing peace and balance in their stressful lives. She is a keynote speaker, coach, author, creator of Rx For Balance™ coaching program, and the founder & CEO of Beyond Horizon Coaching, a coaching and training company specializing in providing solutions for Work Life Balance, Stress Management and Intensive Self-Care.
Hueina started her first career as a Registered Nurse. Prior to becoming a certified life coach, she has worked in healthcare, academic, nonprofit, private sector, start-ups, and has more than 20 years of experience in nursing, coaching, counseling, speaking, training, nonprofit management, sales, and small business. Since she has thrived in so many professions, and lived in many places (her record was living in 4 states in 6 calendar years), Hueina is extremely adaptable to change and great at reinventing herself. Born and raised in Taiwan, she graciously blends her Eastern philosophy and Western education in coaching, writing, speaking and everything she does. She has lived and traveled extensively in Asia and U.S., which enhances her natural ability to understand, appreciate and work with people from different backgrounds. Her unique blend of philosophy, training and life experiences are invaluable assets in her coaching ability, and create extraordinary results for her clients.
With her extensive personal and professional experiences as a Nurturer, Hueina understands deeply the challenges that women nurturers face every day. Brought up in a family with 4 generations of doctors and nurses, she knows first-hand the stressful lives they lead. She had experienced and overcome Nurturing Burnout herself as a Registered Nurse caring for terminal cancer patients, and again as a full-time counselor, commuting 3 hours every day, while caring for her newborn baby. She has since successfully made the transitions from full-time career woman to full-time working mother, and now as an entrepreneur doing the work she loves. It is her passion and personal mission to empower other Nurturers to practice Intensive Self-Care, create work-life balance, and live the life they truly desire. By changing the lives of Nurturers, she intends to empower these women as role models for the next-generation girls/women, and impact the lives they will touch for generations to come.
Hueina lives with her husband of 14 years and their two beautiful children in New Jersey, USA. In her spare time, she enjoys freelance photography, reading, writing, music, martial arts training, fencing, yoga, movies, travel, hanging out with friends and family, volunteering at her children's schools and charity. She holds a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, has competed and won multiple gold and silver medals in Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu and Tai Chi Sword, in NJ state and regional tournaments. One of her personal goals is to become a grandma with lots of inspiring and adventurous stories to tell. She is working on that every day.
