A Bit About Me

Breaking the Ice

intuitive recovery coach Twila Rurka

Hi, I’m Twila—a spiritual intuitive, energy healer, and trauma-informed mentor. My journey began as a registered nurse, where I experienced the relentless demands of caregiving, leading to burnout, trauma, and a diagnosis of PTSD. In 2018, an existential crisis became the catalyst for my profound spiritual awakening and the creation of The Rebel Nurse.


Initially, my work focused on supporting nurses and healthcare professionals, but as I deepened my healing journey, I felt called to expand my reach. Today, I empower women, caregivers, and spiritually sensitive souls who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about their true power.


I blend my nursing expertise with holistic practices, including trauma-informed coaching, intuitive guidance, energy healing, and spiritual mentoring. Together, we’ll transform your sensitivity into strength, helping you see it as the gift it truly is.


Whether through healing circles, 1:1 coaching, or retreats, my mission is to guide you on a transformative journey of self-discovery, turning emotional pain into resilience and spiritual mastery.

  • ​How do you define spiritual healing? 
    Spiritual healing is a significant part of spiritual coaching. Sometimes, you have to get rid of the items that are hindering you from evolving before you can begin to plan for that future that you truly desire. Healing allows you to feel released from your wounds and then limited patterns of behaviour and thinking so that you can make way for new habits and thoughts that align with your dreams. Spiritual coaches work with you to create new habits and integrate beliefs that are perfectly designed to take you where you want to be.
  • How do I heal emotionally and spiritually?
    Healing is an extremely valuable step because it allows you to leave the past behind and become anew. When you sever the connection between yourself and past pains, it is less likely that the same issues will come up and sabotage you in the future. Healing is the fastest and most secure way to ensure a full transformation of mind, body, and soul. There is a light energy at the core of our being that many can only describe as the power of love and that we are all connected through an invisible source, others live by powerful universal laws. These ideas, among others can be explored safely and effectively with a spiritual coach.
  • How Is spiritual healing and how does it work?
    Spiritual healing involves the transfer of energy through the healer to the recipient. It promotes self-healing by relaxing the body, releasing tensions and strengthening the immune system the intention is to bring the client into a state of balance and wellbeing on all levels.
  • What is spiritual healing meditation?
    Spiritual meditation focuses on developing a deeper understanding of spiritual/religious meaning and connection with a higher power, the Universe, God, and your Highest Self. It can be used for stress and relaxation, to clear the mind, and awakening a deeper connection to something greater than self. It is a highly individualized and personal experience that can feel vastly different for each person.
  • What is healing power? 
    Our healing power or life force energy can be activated and found at the core of our being, it consists of an invisible source or matrix where all life force energy exists in universe. It is an unlimited source of love, power and potential that can be accessed with spiritual development and mastery enabling you to live by powerful universal laws. These ideas, among others can be explored safely and effectively with a spiritual coach.
  • What is a spiritual coach? 
    Spiritual coaches are people who live by spiritual principles (illogical) and not just by everyday societal conventions (logical). They are healers of the soul that make miracles happen by assisting others to live happy fulfilling lives based on the practices that have worked for them.
  • What's the difference between a life coach and spiritual coach? 
    Spiritual coaching allows you to visualise your goals, fuel them with your emotions, and teaches you to simply let go remaining detached from the outcomes. Your unconscious mind directs your path intuitively. It can help people improve relationships, reach bigger goals, dream achievement, and discover aspects of their personalities. A spiritual coach will walk you through an entirely different set of goals such as discovering the essence of love or being in a state of oneness with the divine. A life coach will help you achieve and move forward in life, but may not be able to assist you with spiritual fulfillment. Spiritual coaches help people find their own sense of peace, love, purpose, and wholeness gaining a healthy appreciation for all that is. You may have spiritual gifts and abilities that you are confused about, or feel wounded or restricted from you religious upbringings or cultural conditioning and want to live a spiritual life. You may not know where to go, what to do, or how to deal with your spiritual identity crisis. Most importantly, a spiritual life coach will help you learn to trust yourself and your intuition. They will show you how to break free of any beliefs or practices that no longer serve you and no longer resonate with you on a deep level. They will show you how to use your inner self as a guide so that you can continue to evolve and grow spiritually in every area of your life.

  • Are spiritual coaches religious leaders? 
    Spiritual coaches are not religious leaders. You don’t have to be religious to work with a spiritual coach; you just have to be open to deepening your connection with your soul the nonphysical part of yourself. Spiritual practice involves the exploration of your own spirituality, the search for inner peace, happiness, the essence of your being and consists of the deepest values by which you live.
  • What is a spiritual journey?
    It is a healing journey of the soul, purpose seeking and fulfillment, a place where creativity, mindset and intuitive guidance collide. It provides an in depth healing experience that awakens and enlightens opening yourself up to the acceptance of your soul desires and mystical powers. It is a very freeing, deeply personal, rewarding, and fulfilling experience that builds unstoppable self-confidence from within. It is sacred work that breathes new life, tools and resources into your life allowing you to build a strong foundational relationship with your most authentic and highest self, to be in alignment with the Divine, and to speak your intuition clearly. It brings about a heightened awareness that draws out your deepest values assisting you in more authentic goal setting for your needs, helping you build faith and conviction that the Divine will deliver.
  • What is the purpose of a spiritual coach?
    Spiritual coach empowers and encourages a deepened sense of self-love and understanding, to support you on your healing journey of self-discovery and soul purpose inspiring love, intuition, creativity, and spiritual connection. We should assist in the discovery and utilization your spiritual gifts in a way that is meaningful to you. To live life divinely connected and aligned with self, discovering your soul purpose and live in your authenticity. We assist you in the freeing yourself from the bondage of “EGO” the victim state, and to taking responsibility for your life. We help you draw your focus away from any negativity or judgements surrounding you so you can take control and focus on the positive helping clients shift their thinking from despair to appreciation.
  • How do I know if I need a spiritual coach?
    You may require a spiritual coach If you are looking to looking to develop yourself beyond material and mechanistic goals, have a tendency to worry or feel anxious, do not listen to your intuition, do not expect good things to happen to you in the future, do not believe negative events will work out for you eventually and are looking for peace and happiness. You may have experienced the loss of somebody you love. You might be struggling through a divorce, or experiencing a mid-life crisis. Perhaps what you are experiencing is too private and personal and you may not want to talk to friends and family members about it due to a fear, judgment or ridicule. Spiritual coaches assist you in a private, secure environment allowing you to open up about how you feel deep down inside, to let go of the old to make room for healing and new growth. Oftentimes, we seek the aid of professionals who do not validate our sense of spirituality and as such a big part of us becomes lost. With a spiritual life coach, however, you will find it easier to talk about life in a more meaningful way as there are no judgements or concerns only a deepening of your faith and sense of spirituality. They are there to listen, to educate, and help you grow in any way they can. When you are too deeply engaged in the drama and chaos of life, you tend to see our world from a distorted perspective. You may make judgments and victimize yourself by justifying your negative views of your life. Spiritual growth challenges you to open up to compassion and love allowing for a connection on a deeper level of inner knowing which strengthens you. Being connected leads you to live a life full of gratitude and giving. Mistakes and imperfections are how we learn, and spiritual coaches keep that in mind as they explore your history and help you map out your next steps in life.
  • What do I look for in a spiritual coach?
    Look for alignment of spiritual beliefs, trust and comfort. Spiritual coaches respect the fact that you have your own spiritual beliefs. It is important that the spiritual coach you work with is on the same spiritual “page” as you. There should be an intuitive connection. It is a good idea to choose a coach who shares your beliefs and values. Many people are uncertain about who they are spiritually and are looking to find themselves a spiritual coach can help you reveal your inner beliefs and bring your ideas about spirituality up and out to the surface. You can gain clarity on who you are and what forms of spirituality you connect. They can help you implement new spiritual practices that allow your soul to blossom and keep you connected to your divine inner wisdom. Trust is essential in a coaching relationship and to be comfortable opening up about your thoughts, emotions, and someone you can be honest with these are key to spiritual growth and progress. The more honest the more you discover about yourself. A spiritual coach is there to help you find solutions when you are your truest and most genuine self. You are investing time, money, and effort with this coach, so you want to make sure that you feel good about them, someone you can connect with and feel comfortable talking about your most private secrets and deepest aspirations. When you find the perfect one it will feel like magic. Working with a spiritual life coach is the beginning of freedom and discovery—living a life based on knowing rather than fear. All of your problems will begin to fall away when you put your faith in your coach and the deep wisdom that lives inside of you.
