Our mission at The Nurse Shark Academy is to expand the consciousness of nurses as experts to reflect their individual and collective power by promoting self-agency through inspiring nurses to dream big, reach far, and soar to new heights in business and the profession of nursing thereby producing a healthier & richer society.
 
We interview nurses who business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. Welcome to our guest today, Catherine Mupoperi-Mukasa, owner of Mukanya Health and Holistic Wellbeing, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
 
 
Catherine Mupoperi-Mukasa a Registered nurse with certification in Whole Health Education/Coaching. I grew up in Zimbabwe in a large family. I enjoyed cooking and was always concerned about the well-being of my relatives so caring for people comes naturally to me. I became a nurse because I wanted to gain an understanding of health conditions in my own health and others close to me. I still have a lot to learn, and the best way to get better at what you are learning is to teach it. I love to help people learn more about themselves and trust that when given the right information they can make the right decisions for themselves.
 
I am a registered nurse with experience in med-surge and long-term care. I have certification in patient whole health education from the National Institute of Whole Health. I also have a master’s degree in Adult and Community Education.
I understand how frustrating it can be when you feel like you are doing the best you can and still do not see improvements in your health because I have been there. I suffered from anxiety for most of my life and carried a lot of shame for not knowing why I was feeling the way I did. When I got better, I decided to continue learning more about the interactions between mind, body, spirit, and the environment and share as much as I could with others who might be feeling frustrated about the state of their health.  
 
In today’s episode, you will hear how my own health scan is discussed with potential areas of improvement for my overall health and wellbeing. It was an enlightening process into how environmental factors, our diet, and our mindset impact our physical and emotional health. Take advantage of the opportunity to schedule a consultation with Catherine. You will be glad you did.

The Nurse Shark Academy 

Our mission at The Nurse Shark Academy is to expand the consciousness of nurses as experts to reflect their individual and collective power by promoting self-agency through inspiring nurses to dream big, reach far, and soar to new heights in business and the profession of nursing thereby producing a healthier & richer society.

Why The Nurse Shark? A nurse is an expert in the profession of nursing. A shark is an expert in his or her field or profession, hence The Nurse Shark. The nurse shark in nature is not an aggressive shark, but this shark still has teeth. Nurse sharks in nature are social creatures. Nurse sharks are nocturnal and dwell at the bottom of the ocean most of the time. Nurses, highly trained and professional nurturers, nurses make great business owners as they know how to get things done. Thus, The Nurse Shark Academy. Nurse sharks know how to feed their young and not eat their young, an attitude we foster in our community. Become a Nurse Shark today where we are experts in nursing and experts in business!
