What if the first moments after waking hold the power to shape your entire day? This post explores how a simple, intentional morning practice—before the rush of responsibilities and mental noise takes over—can help create more calm, focus, energy, and ease.

If you’ve ever wondered why some days flow beautifully while others unravel before they begin, this is a compelling invitation to transform your mornings and, with them, everything that follows.

Healing. Growth. Joy. It All Begins Within.
Whether you're navigating a difficult season, searching for renewed purpose, or simply feeling that life is calling you to something more, I'm here to offer compassionate guidance and practical support.
A Bit About Me
I'm Mori Montagne, and my greatest joy is helping people discover their true potential, achieve extraordinary success, and create lives they truly love. Whether I'm teaching, mentoring, coaching, or simply listening, I love watching people realize they're capable of far more than they imagined. I believe that when we heal, grow, and reconnect with our authentic selves, we naturally begin living our joy—and that's where lasting transformation begins. My hope is to provide a place where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged as you rediscover your own strength and move toward a life of greater health, balance, abundance and joy.
My Story
If you're wondering how someone becomes both a nurse practitioner and a transformational coach, the answer is simple: one step at a time. Every experience in my life has added another piece to the work I do today.
My story began much earlier than my professional career. From the time I was a small child—even preschool age—I knew I wanted to nurture and heal living things. Caring for others wasn't something I learned; it felt like part of who I was.
Around age twelve, I began noticing how profoundly my thoughts and emotions affected my own health. My father introduced me to meditation, self-hypnosis, and the concept of mind-over-matter during the early days of the Transcendental Meditation movement that became a passionate, lifelong interest and exploration of meditation, "energy" and alternative healing, and spirituality. I also had an inherent interest in "natural" foods and herbal medicine as a youngster and began actively studying nutritional healing and wellness as a teenager, much to my mother's dismay. This interest has continued to accompany me through my life and career to this day. As life unfolded—with marriage, children, grandchildren and family in general, as well as a busy career—those passions never disappeared. They quietly continued growing alongside and within my professional journey as a nurse, then nurse practitioner and nurse midwife.
As my nursing career evolved I discovered another passion—teaching. Whether I was in a college classroom or working one-on-one with patients, I found immense satisfaction in helping people understand their bodies, their health, discover new concepts and knowledge, and their own capacity to heal.
During my thirties, my own health journey took an unexpected turn. Food allergies, chemical sensitivities, and developing chronic health challenges of an unidentified origin led me to explore nutrition and the emerging fields of integrative and energy medicine far more deeply than I ever had before. As I applied this learning to my own health, my family, and patients, I witnessed remarkable improvements—often in conditions that had seemed resistant to conventional treatment. Those experiences have transformed not only my understanding of healing but also my understanding of what is possible in general.
More recently, my personal health journey took me on a new adventure and has deepened my understanding of what it means to heal, adapt, and rediscover joy during life's most difficult seasons. That experience has given me an even greater appreciation for the power we have within us to recover and heal; as well as an even more profound respect and admiration for the courage my clients bring to their own journeys.
For more than three decades, I've had the privilege of coaching people through health challenges, personal growth, and life's transitions. Since 2005, I've also helped both women and men use EFT to find greater balance, resilience, and well-being.
Today, everything I've learned—from my medical practice as nurse practitioner and nurse midwife, nutritional healing research and application, coaching, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) practices, to my personal, my patients and family's experiences—comes together in one purpose: helping people discover that they are far more capable, resilient, and extraordinary than they may believe. There is nothing I enjoy more than watching someone step into a healthier, happier, more joyful version of themselves.
Transformational Life Mastery Coaching
As a Transformational Life Mastery Coach and Consultant, certified through the Brave Thinking Institute, I help you identify your dreams, clarify your vision, and develop the mindset and practical tools to bring that vision into reality with greater ease and joy.
As your coach and guide, I help you navigate uncertainty, uncover limiting patterns, and develop the habits and mindset that create lasting transformation. Together we create meaningful results in your life while also nurturing the inner transformation that allows those changes endure.
Time and again, clients are amazed not only by what they accomplish, but by who they become along the journey.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) & Energy Psychology
As an Advanced Certified Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT-ADV) and Energy Psychology Practitioner, one of the things I love most about EFT is that healing doesn't always require reliving painful experiences. Many people are surprised to discover that meaningful healing can happen gently and respectfully, without repeatedly reopening old wounds.
Using gentle, evidence-informed energy medicine techniques, I help people release trauma, reduce chronic pain, improve persistent health symptoms, overcome recurring patterns, and move beyond feeling stuck. EFT also becomes a practical self-care tool that you can continue using long after our work together.
My goal is to help you experience greater health, peace, and well-being with as little stress as possible.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Consulting
As a Nutritional and Lifestyle Management Consultant, I continue the holistic mentoring and education I've offered for more than 30 years. While my clinical practice has evolved, my passion for helping others optimize their health has remained unchanged.
I blend conventional medical knowledge with a holistic perspective, helping you explore nutrition, lifestyle, and complementary approaches that support your overall well-being. Although I maintain an active nurse practitioner license, my work today focuses on education, coaching, and holistic wellness rather than clinical medical care.
If my story resonates with you, it would be an honor to walk beside you as you create a life of greater health, purpose, and joy.
