Jocelyne Maurice, MA, BS/BA, RN

Nurse, Artist & Therapeutic Art Life Coach,  Jocelyne  is the founder and director of Expressive Arts Academy and Natural Holistic Lifestyle.  She is a board certified registered nurse and board certified holistic health practitioner.

As a nurse, artist, and holistic health practitioner, she combines her unique approach to health and wellness with the practice of expressive arts. She incorporates guided imagery, visual arts, creative writing, music, creative authentic movement/dance, and mindfulness meditation together in a integrated way to foster human growth, development and healing.  Her expertise in health promotion is from the perspective of health humanities.  She believes everyone has the power to journey back to health and wellness as they discover or rediscover their joy, peace and wisdom from looking within themself.  She views herself as a facilitator who “hold space” for others, while they remember and experience their innate wisdom through the arts.

As a registered nurse for over 33 years, she has a wide-range of experience from having worked in the private and public sectors. She has an extensive clinical background with over 20 years working in hospital settings, both in Canada and the United States. Her clinical experience includes newborn intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care unit and various specialties in adult intensive care units.  She is currently working as a public health nursing consultant in community health promotion with the Florida Department Health.

Jocelyne earned a Master of Art in Humanities from Florida State University; a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of West Florida, a Bachelor of Art in Organizational Management for Warner University; and an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing from the Garneau College, Quebec Canada. She holds two certificates from the University of Florida, one in Healing with the Arts and another in Arts in Healthcare.  She is currently pursuing a certificate in Expressive Arts from the Expressive Arts Florida Institute, Sarasota, Florida.
