Ranta Transformative Coaching, PLLC

Ranta Transformative Coaching, PLLC is a health and wellness coaching practice founded by Nancy Ranta, RN, a Board-Certified Holistic Nurse Coach, geriatric nurse care manager, and mom to a son with autism. With over 35 years of nursing experience and deep personal insight into caregiving, Nancy specializes in helping caregivers prioritize their own well-being without guilt.

Through personalized one-on-one coaching, Nancy specializes in supporting caregivers to improve their sleep, energy, stress levels, nutrition, and overall lifestyle. Her mission is simple but profound: to empower caregivers to care for themselves just as deeply as they care for others—so they can thrive, not just survive.

What sets this coaching apart is Nancy’s rare blend of clinical expertise, lived experience, and heartfelt empathy. She walks the walk and understands the journey, offering compassionate, realistic, and sustainable guidance that meets caregivers where they are.

While many health coaches focus solely on fitness or weight loss, Ranta Transformative Coaching is uniquely centered on the caregiver experience—a role that often goes unseen and unsupported. Nancy not only coaches from a professional standpoint but also from personal experience as a special needs mom and long-time geriatric nurse. Her coaching is holistic and heart-centered, weaving together physical, emotional, and lifestyle wellness in a way that acknowledges the overwhelming demands placed on caregivers. Few others in the industry offer this level of tailored support from someone who truly "gets it"—clinically, emotionally, and personally.

Ranta Transformative Coaching is grounded in the core values of compassion, empowerment, integrity, empathy, and sustainability. These values shape every coaching interaction, creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel heard, validated, and supported.

Clients experience a coaching relationship rooted in respect and trust, where their unique needs, challenges, and goals are honored. Nancy empowers caregivers to become active participants in their own health journey, guiding them toward changes that are not just effective—but also achievable and lasting.

Many people believe that health and wellness coaching is only about diet and exercise—but it’s so much more than that. In reality, health coaching is about transformation. It’s about addressing the deeper barriers—time, stress, guilt, overwhelm—that keep people stuck in unhealthy patterns.

For caregivers especially, the issue isn’t knowledge—it’s capacity. They know what they “should” do, but often lack the energy, time, or support to do it. That’s where coaching becomes a lifeline: a structured, compassionate space where meaningful change becomes possible, one step at a time.

Caregivers often neglect their own health while focusing entirely on others. Ranta Transformative Coaching meets this need head-on by offering personalized, one-on-one coaching that fits into a caregiver’s busy and unpredictable life. Nancy helps caregivers:

• Regain energy and strength through realistic nutrition and movement strategies.

• Improve sleep and stress management.

• Set achievable goals without guilt.

• Reconnect with their own identity and well-being.

Clients walk away with more than just a health plan—they gain renewed confidence, clarity, and resilience. They are better equipped to care for others because they’re finally caring for themselves.

My heart is with those who tirelessly care for others—a role I know well as a geriatric care nurse and special needs mom. It’s easy to put your needs last, swapping nutritious food, exercise, and rest for the constant demands of caregiving.

I’ve been there, relying on comfort food and neglecting my health, which led to chronic issues, poor sleep, and burnout. I realized I needed to change things to stay healthy for my family and enjoy life to its fullest. Through diet, strength training, stress management, and better sleep, I reversed my health challenges and now feel more energetic than ever.

As an AHNCC Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I’m passionate about helping anyone - especially caregivers - overcome obstacles and achieve long-lasting changes. 

In my personal life, I have been married for 31 years and have two sons in their 20's and a sweet lab mix named Zoey. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, music, reading, traveling, walking, hiking, and going to all kinds of live entertainment (theater, concerts, Carolina Hurricanes games, etc.!)

I would love to hear from you and would be honored to walk alongside you on your health and wellness journey. We’ll work together to carve out time in your day, design self-care practices that fit your life, and create sustainable habits that help you thrive. I’ll be here every step of the way—offering empathy, accountability, practical resources, and unwavering belief in your potential.
