I support heart-centered, often exhausted women (like helping professionals, moms, empaths, and highly sensitive souls) who pour so much into caring for others and making a difference but struggle to balance their responsibilities with self-care. My coaching helps you set boundaries, prioritize your energy, and build sustainable well-being habits so you can do your important work without burning out in the process.
As your coach/facilitator, I am committed to creating a non-judgmental, open, inclusive space where you feel respected and safe sharing the real stuff. My coaching style is intuitive, compassionate, and action-oriented.
As a mindfulness-based coach, I'll always encourage you to choose self-compassion and baby steps over perfection as you move toward your goals. I strive to create an inclusive practice and value equity, justice, self-care, community service, honesty, authenticity, continuous learning, empathy, and compassion.
I'm a Professional Co-Active Coach certified by the Coaches Training Institute and accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). My training spans mindfulness, meditation, habit science, energy healing, resilience, health and wellness coaching, and cognitive behavioral mental health coaching.
I am committed to continuing my education and doing my own personal growth and healing work so that I can show up for my clients authentically and offer effective tools and practices.
Before my coaching journey, I worked in hospitality, the film/TV industry, and non-profits. Each chapter introduced me to diverse individuals, their stories, and unique approaches to life. These connections shape my work, creating an open, non-judgmental space for clients to explore freely.
Based in Chicagoland with my husband and son, when not coaching, you'll likely find me on a family walk, running after my toddler, or experimenting in the kitchen.
“I had never done a Reiki session before working with Nicole, and I was blown away by the entire experience. Nicole's gentle presence and kind energy were palpable through the screen. I appreciated the thoughtful way she walked through what to expect and gave me a chance to set an intention. The Reiki experience itself was deeply relaxing, healing, and full of light. As a daily meditator, I noticed how unique this experience was. Afterward, I shared that I feel like a different person. Truly a magical session, and I am grateful to Nicole for sharing her gift. I feel lighter and more peaceful, loving, and hopeful. Nicole shared a couple of resources with me related to my intention, which was also really appreciated.” - Megan W.
“I can't say enough about the positive impact Nicole has had on my life. I first met her in 2021 when I was struggling in my midlife to determine what direction I wanted to take my life. I worked in Healthcare, in the midst of Covid, and I was so burned out. I had had plenty of therapy in life but she offered something different--a way back to myself and discovering what I really wanted to offer the world. Nicole is calm, empathetic and grounding, and she gave me a wealth of resources and practical tools to help me clarify my values that pointed me in the direction of my soul work. She is intuitive and I felt seen and heard about my struggles as a sensitive person is a crazy world. Our sessions were so restorative! Beyond the coaching, the distance Reiki I received from Nicole supported my emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being which allowed me to see how I wanted to move forward in my life. It brought a calmness and clarity that I had never experienced before, in a way that even other people in my life could see the difference. I highly recommend Nicole for helping you find your way back to yourself!” Karen H.
“I have been experiencing a high level of emotional stress and booked a Reiki session with Nicole. The beautiful imagery through guided meditation, and her calm, peaceful energetic approach was a balm to the stress living in my body and mind. The reiki was potent and I could feel the energy shifting within me, leaving me more calm and at ease than I have been in months. I definitely recommend Nicole and am thankful for her talents.” - Reiki Client
"Nicole has a way of holding space for people that makes you feel seen, accepted, and deeply cared for. I came to her initially for help and mentoring with my fledgling coaching practice. Little did I know we would uncover some old baggage that was standing in the way of my self-worth and self-confidence. I was able to be raw in and real in our sessions in a way that I haven’t been with other coaches. She has an incredible intuition that leads her to the heart of my issues quickly while giving me the bandwidth to explore new perspectives. I walked away from our sessions together feeling lighter, with renewed faith in myself, and excited about my new professional direction. She’s an angel—gentle, kind, and so incredibly loving. I’ll never forget our time together.” - Lori
“Nicole held space for me to figure out who I was...what I desired...what fulfilled me...and what was not serving me. She helped me see all the great qualities I have inside myself and how those qualities can help others. I learned how to speak to my negative inner voices with more compassion rather than frustration. I have become a better version of myself. I am more patient, tuned into others around me, and a better listener, parent, wife, and friend. Coaching helped me from head to toe. Too many ways to list. I feel transformed and excited to take one imperfect step at a time on my life's path.” - Karen
“Nicole is warm and insightful, and her non-judgmental coaching style helped me assess where I was ignoring my own needs, and how to create an approach to self-care that works for me and helped me create new habits to make it all real and lasting. If you're feeling stuck somewhere in your life, and know there’s more available for you but just can’t seem to figure out how to do it by yourself, do yourself a favor and contact Nicole. You’ll be so glad you did." - Janet
“Nicole has a wonderful way of hearing what you are saying and putting it into more tangible terms that you can grow from.
As a result of coaching, I feel empowered and validated that I was being as proactive as I could be to find the right path for me and supported me through the tough times. I also learned to listen to my values more and stay true to the things that matter to me most.” -Loni
"What I like about working with Nicole is her sensitive and intuitive nature. She has a way of gently showing me a new perspective, so I can get unstuck and live my life in a way that's more in alignment with how I want to show up in the world. Best of all, she ALWAYS pointed out my strengths, which helped me see myself for who I am, rather than through the lens of any outdated beliefs I may have been carrying about myself.
After a coaching session with Nicole, I always feel more clear, confident, and lighter in my heart and head." - Tessa
