Why Half Nester
You’ve spent years caring for everyone else.
Patients, practices, teams, families. Dental professionals carry an enormous amount, often for decades. Then, somewhere in the middle, the roles start to shift. Kids need you differently. Parents may need you more. Work and identity evolve. You’re still deeply needed, but in changing ways.
Half Nester gives that season a name, and a way to move through it with a rhythm that fits real life, at home and at work.
Who am I becoming as the life I’ve built continues to change?

Meet Dr. Valerie Woo
A dentist who has lived this season, too.
Dr. Valerie Woo is a Harvard-trained pediatric dentist, entrepreneur and the founder of NOVA Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. She’s also a leadership consultant, speaker and the author of Half Nester.
Half Nester started when a friend asked how she was feeling as her second of four children left for college. At the same time, her dad was going through dementia, she was going through perimenopause, and she couldn’t move her shoulder for almost a year. She blurted out, “I’m a Half Nester.”
The course is what she built from that season: practical tools from someone who has grown a successful professional career while her family and her own life kept changing.
Ten books to share
One for you. Nine to share.
Your bundle includes ten hardcover copies of Half Nester: Discovering More of Yourself in Life’s Messy Middle. Keep one and send nine to friends, colleagues, your team or family. Or send all ten.
Right after checkout you can tell us who gets each copy, one person at a time or by uploading a list in any format. One address can get more than one copy. Not ready yet? Add them later from the link in your confirmation email. Any copies you don’t assign ship to you.
Books ship when Half Nester comes out on April 13, 2027, not right after checkout. US shipping is included.
Continuing education
CE credit is in review.
We’re working with an approved continuing education provider so the course can count toward dental CE. Until that approval is final, the bundle doesn’t include CE credit, and we won’t say otherwise.
Once it’s approved, we’ll share the sponsor, the number of approved hours, the course category, what you need to complete, and how to check your state board’s requirements. Buyers will hear first.
