Nicole is a dynamite combination of both super intuitive and sharply analytic. She can go fuzzy and help you suss out what the "real problem" is and then she can come into sharp focus and help you figure out exactly how you're going to fix it. After each session with Nicole, I know what I need to do and I'm filled with confidence that I can do it.

Working with Nicole has been a life changing experience for me. I have had my fair share of coaching in the past (that wasn't exactly helpful) but Nicole has been the first one to truly crack the code and help me look beyond the many negatives in my life that have held me back from being my best self. She has given me a whole new tool belt of resources to leverage, and I am so excited to put the things that she taught me into practice.

After years of burnout, I needed to reinvent myself. However, as a recovering perfectionist, with a hella loud inner critic, I felt overwhelmed by choice.

Seeing myself through Nicole's coaching made me realize that it was less about reinvention and more about appreciating and unleashing what I already possess and who I already am. Every self-help reel on Instagram waxed poetic about "values" — saying that you just needed to write them down and then follow them. However, when faced with a blank page, I have never been able to articulate what actually was important to me.

Through Nicole's coaching, guidance, and tough love I finally have a refined list of values that not only feel reflective of who I am, but also true to the person that I have never allowed myself to be. It surprisingly didn't take a whole Eat, Pray, Love soul-searching trip to realize what I needed. Just some inspired coaching.

I am coming out of the burnout and trauma of the last few years. My inner critic is quieter and imposter syndrome has been put in the backseat. I feel more hope for what's to come, whatever that might be. Thank you.

Nicole, our educational (and fun) coaching and tutorials together have enabled me to become a more confident and professional person in my dealings with catering clients. I have gained more knowledge and expertise (than you’ll ever know!) from you with regard to planning events, as well as fine tuning the details for special occasions that I plan (at Serafina and Cicchetti).

Your wisdom carries me through every time I prepare for a big event, but most of all when I get weary of the process and my own shortcomings. Your dynamic and nurturing nature has enabled me to grow immensely as a catering manager and to become more powerful, professional, and relaxed in my dealings.

I couldn’t have asked for a better, more lovely mentor than you! Thank you for sharing your expertise with me.

I came to Nicole at a time of tremendous "stuckness" with my professional life. I was resistant to the idea of "coaching" until someone recommended Nicole. Her breadth of experience and her "bottom line me" approach absolutely shifted how I was perceiving the challenges I was facing. My work with her not only changed the trajectory of my career — but my entire life. Thank you Nicole...for everything...for being...

Working with Nicole was a deeply clarifying and confidence-building journey for me. She helped me make sense of my own thoughts, something that often felt overwhelming before, and guided me on how to channel them into clarity and purpose.

Whether it was prepping for my MBA interviews or navigating tricky situations at work, Nicole always showed up with insight, empathy, and just the right questions to help me unlock solutions I hadn't considered. She never gave me ready-made answers, but somehow always led me to the ones I truly needed.

What I appreciated most was how safe and supported I felt in every conversation. I could show up as I was: confused, anxious, excited, and she'd meet me there with compassion and a calm presence. I came away from every session feeling a little more confident, a little more clear, and a lot more connected to myself. I'm genuinely grateful for the time I got to work with her, it's an experience I'll carry with me for a long time.

Retired Attorney

I worked with Nicole last spring during a period of sharp transition in which I wanted help identifying where to direct my interests, talents and energy. I was in a new stage of life (retired attorney who had recently moved away from all things familiar), yet was clinging to what had worked for me in the past but wasn’t working now. Nicole led me in reviewing my core values and creating a list of priorities that were in alignment with those values. Part of that work included digging deep to discover my authentic desires in my changed circumstances. I found that my core values had not changed but what was important to me had.

She gently but surely helped me identify and overcome obstacles that were keeping me stuck in patterns that no longer served me. She expertly helped me understand the costs I was paying by listening to the many negative voices in my head - voices that were holding me back from exploring new ways of finding fulfillment. Nicole is a very intelligent, intuitive and skilled life coach, and has a wonderful sense of humor to boot. I found her ability to focus on the real issues truly amazing. She definitely helped me find the commitment to take some big steps toward creating a happier and more fulfilling life. I highly recommend Nicole as a life coach.

Nicole was truly a lifesaver for me. Although I didn’t really think I “needed” a coach, she helped me put my past behind me and focus on my future – a new, improved, and very bright future!

Wanted to share a quick update with you- I put in my notice and my last day with XXX is March 13th! Since I made that decision, the universe has brought me more positive changes and developments than I can even handle. I am so excited for the next chapter of my life, and I am grateful to you for helping me during our coaching sessions. You are an inspiration for me! Not sure what is next for me aside from being open to whatever comes my way. Thanks again for guiding me in a wonderful way through coaching! Thanks!

For me, fear of Public Speaking is NOTHING compared to the fear of financial management. Coach Nicole has demonstrated the level of insight, intuition, and authentic intelligence that has not only put me at ease but has inspired me to face this fear! A masterful coach indeed!

I just want to take a moment to sincerely thank Nicole for everything she has done for me. She has been such an incredible support throughout this journey and I'm truly grateful for the way you've guided me with patience, understanding, and just the right amount of challenge. She really pushed me to grow to face things I used to avoid [and] to let go of what doesn't serve me and to show up fully in my life and in my work.
