ABOUT NICOLE
Hi, I'm Nicole.
CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL COACH · ENERGY WORK PRACTITIONER
I'm passionate about helping you prioritize your well-being in a way that fits your real life, without guilt, overwhelm, or unrealistic expectations.
MY STORY
I'm her, too.
Highly sensitive soul.
Mama.
Coach.
Reiki and energy work practitioner.
Meditation guide.
Helper for the helpers.
It's possible to care deeply for others while caring deeply for yourself, and to thrive as a sensitive soul in a loud world.
I specialize in working with moms, helping professionals, and highly sensitive people who pour so much into caring for others and making a difference, but struggle to trust their inner wisdom and balance their responsibilities with self-care. I know that feeling well, because I'm her, too.
Before my career in the healing arts, I worked in hospitality, the film and TV industry, and nonprofits. Each chapter introduced me to diverse people, their stories, and their unique approaches to life. Those connections shape my work today, creating an open, non-judgmental space where you can explore freely.
I started this practice during a season of big change: leaving my nonprofit role, getting married, and moving to a new city. I wanted work that honored my sensitivity and answered a deeper calling to help others reconnect with their hearts and live with more self-compassion. Since then, Reiki and coaching have carried me through my own tender transitions, including loss, grief, and health challenges. Sharing them is my way of passing that comfort on.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
When we care for the people who care for everyone else, the healing ripples outward. A more rested, connected you helps create a gentler, more loving world.
MY APPROACH
Practical, compassionate, and tailored to you
My work blends co-active coaching, mindfulness, spirituality, practical well-being tools, and energy-based practices to help you reconnect with yourself and create space for what matters most.
01
Reiki and energy work
Every session holds space for deep rest, and I bring a coach's gentle curiosity so you leave with insight as well as calm.
02
Coaching that lands in your body and heart
My coaching is intuitive, compassionate, and action-oriented. When it helps, we weave in energy work so what we explore can settle in deeply.
03
A safe space for the real stuff
I'm committed to an open, non-judgmental, inclusive space where you feel respected and safe. I'll always encourage you to choose self-compassion and baby steps over perfection.
OVER A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN THE HEALING ARTS
Rooted in extensive training
My training spans mindfulness, meditation, habit science, energy healing, resilience, health and wellness coaching, and cognitive behavioral mental health coaching.
