Who We Serve
Financial Planning for Every Stage
of Your Healthcare Career
Nurses get overlooked by most financial advisors. Healing Wealth was founded to bridge that gap.
Whether you’re two years into your first nursing role or leading a department, your financial needs are different from the general population. Healing Wealth was built for the financial realities of healthcare — shift work, student debt, career ladders, burnout, and the pressure of caring for others while building a life of your own.
Early-Career Nurses
1–7 years in. Managing student loans, navigating employer benefits, and starting to understand cash flow. You need a foundation — not a lecture.
Mid-Career Healthcare Professionals
5–15 years in. Life has evolved. Your income and responsibilities are growing, and your financial strategy should grow with them.
Nurse Practitioners and CRNAs
Advanced practice means added complexity. Graduate school debt, higher income, and career decisions that can carry 20-year financial implications.
Healthcare Leaders and Executives
Directors, CNOs, VPs. You’ve built significant wealth, but you may still be managing it reactively. You need a quarterback — not another product salesperson.
Practice Owners
NP or CRNA practice owners navigating buy-ins, succession, entity optimization, and the intersection of business and personal wealth.
Travel Nurses
Most travel nurses plan to eventually slow down. Make the most of this high-earning season while it lasts.
Your Financial Future
Don’t Go It Alone
Student loan payments are planned strategically. An emergency fund is taking shape. Benefits and retirement choices make sense, and there’s growing confidence around the next milestones.
As income grows, spending stays intentional. Career decisions are made with a clear financial strategy.
Because the foundation was built early, work becomes more flexible and options expand.
Retire on your terms.
Paying minimums on student loans. No emergency fund. Benefits chosen at random during open enrollment.
Income rises, but lifestyle grows faster. Retirement contributions stagnate. Career decisions get made without financial analysis.
The retirement gap becomes visible. Panic sets in. The first withdrawals from retirement accounts begin.
Options narrow. Work lasts longer than planned. Social Security becomes the fallback — even though it was never designed to be the plan.
Recently retired nurses have saved only 4.1× their annual income — against a recommended 10×. Nearly 50% of adults 60+ have household incomes below the minimum needed for basic independence.Data sources: Fidelity Investments | National Council on Aging
The cost of not having a plan isn’t just financial — it’s the difference between a career that builds lasting wealth and one that leaves you financially vulnerable despite decades of service to others.
“I built Healing Wealth because healthcare professionals deserve an advisor who does not need them to explain their world.”
About Christian
Financial Planning for Nurses, Built by a Nurse
Christian Bratton is the founder of Healing Wealth, LLC, where he provides comprehensive financial planning specifically designed for nurses. He’s passionate about providing high quality, personalized advice to nurses, who have historically been neglected by the financial planning industry.
After spending eight years as a Critical Care Nurse, Christian brings firsthand understanding of the challenges healthcare professionals face — from shift work and student debt to the career decisions that can shape long-term financial outcomes. The same skills he developed in patient care — attentive listening, complex problem-solving, and calm decision-making under pressure — now shape how he serves clients.
Christian’s path to financial planning included a compliance role supporting a large national group of financial advisors, where he developed a deep understanding of securities compliance and operations. That experience continues to influence his commitment to transparency, integrity, and regulatory standards in every client relationship.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Christian follows the financial planning process: understanding a client’s financial circumstances and goals, analyzing current and alternative courses of action, developing and presenting recommendations, implementing those recommendations, and continually monitoring progress.
What sets Christian apart is his belief that in healthcare, professional decisions and financial outcomes are inseparable. He integrates career guidance with financial strategy so that his clients can make informed decisions about advanced degrees, career transitions, and wealth building — without carrying the weight of those decisions alone.

Beyond the Office
Outside of work, Christian enjoys spending time with his wife, Kelly, and their children, Christian and Josephine. They are active parishioners of the Catholic Church of St. Ann. As former collegiate rowers, Christian and Kelly love to stay active outdoors.

Why Healing Wealth
This Is Not Generic Financial Advice.
Healthcare From the Inside
Christian’s nursing background isn’t a footnote — he’s lived it. He understands education financing, shift differentials, specialty certification ROI, and what it means to make financial decisions after a 12-hour ICU shift.
Career + Money Integration
Most advisors manage money. Christian helps connect career decisions to long-term financial outcomes. Thinking about your MSN? Considering leadership? Those decisions are modeled financially before you commit.
Planning-First, Not Product-First
Retainer fees that start at $150/month. The relationship is built on planning — not product sales. That’s alignment.
