About Me

Hi, I’m Liz Porio — a proud mom of two wild, wonderful boys, a nature enthusiast, and the founder of Nurse Life Balance. When I’m not coaching amazing nurses like you, you can usually find me hiking outdoors, tending to my garden, or sweating it out at the gym (my happy place when life gets chaotic!). Oh, and I’m also a certified Reiki practitioner, because sometimes we all need a little extra energy healing in our lives.

​

With over 13 years of experience as a registered nurse and a deep passion for holistic wellness, I’ve been where you are—juggling long shifts, emotional exhaustion, and the guilt of putting yourself last. I started Nurse Life Balance because I knew there had to be a better way to care for others while still caring for myself.

​

Combining my nursing expertise with certifications in health coaching, personal training, and Reiki, I’ve developed a personalized approach to help nurses escape burnout, lower stress, and build habits that actually stick. My mission is to help you not just survive but thrive, with tools and strategies that fit your busy, demanding lifestyle.

​

I’m here to remind you that balance is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. You can find joy in small moments, reclaim your energy, and still have time to enjoy what matters most—whether it’s gardening, spending time with your kids, or finally conquering that fitness goal you’ve been dreaming about.
