Roxane Chan PhD, BSN, MS, AHN-BC
Roxane is a board certified advanced holistic nurse, and holistic nurse consultant working through her company, Chan Body Energy. Her areas of specialty include Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Practices, Health Justice, and Organization and Individual Health. Roxane earned a Baccalaureate of nursing from Northern Illinois University, a Master’s in nursing administration from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and received her PhD in community health promotion from the University of Michigan where she conducted an NIH funded study on the use of mindfulness practices in persons with chronic disease. This study both validated her understanding of how persons with chronic disease need to be supported and clearly identified the critical need for social support grounded in love. Over her many years as a nurse, she has directly cared for patients in acute care and community settings across the United States, held positions in nursing administration and taught nursing at major universities. Her overall focus in nursing has been in vulnerable populations, which led her to develop a specialty in holistic nursing. Currently she is honored to be elected as the president of the American Holistic Nurses Association, is actively involved in facilitating racial healing circles for TRHT (Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation) and is a a member of the strategic planning committee for Washtenaw county United Way. She is also currently working with the phenomenal team of McDuffy Evens to deliver organizational assessments and development of DEI solutions.
