Hi, i’m Nicole!
I’m a Certified Functional Nutrition Consultant and Metabolic Balance Coach with a passion for empowering women to take control and ownership of their well-being.
Everything I coach and teach took root in a personal need. Chronic conditions I had adapted to became harder to ignore as I approached 30. I finally got tired of simply being given prescriptions and suggested over the counter medications after a 5-10 minute check-up.
I learned to ask better questions, returned to study and began systematically implementing dietary and lifestyle shifts. I finally started listening to my body rather than trying to silence its warnings, and paying attention to the many factors that influenced my pain points. I sought and implemented sustainable measures that began repairing and protecting this one body I have.
From here, what began as a personal quest turned into a life mission: to show others that once the roots of our conditions are discovered and exposed, we can support our body’s natural ability to repair and defend in a much greater capacity than we’ve come to believe. I devoted myself to studying nutrition and the body’s systems from a functional lens and made a career shift - from Environmental Science to Holistic Wellness.
My coaching and consulting practice is dedicated to facilitating simple and sustainable changes that empower my clients to experience results and keep progressing. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’. My clients learn what works best for them where they currently are - as well as how to track, modify and scale to keep moving forward even when faced with roadblocks.
Life is not static — so our approach to health can’t be either. It’s a dynamic relationship that requires curiosity, intentional action and grace. We are not perfect, and we cannot let our stumbles define us. Having a coach in your corner offers the support, structure and guidance you need while you redesign and redefine your life.
I teach the “why” and “how” behind everything my clients do with me. They learn a system and process that works long-term because it addresses the roots behind their pain points and engages them in developing new habit patterns that work for their unique lifestyle.
If you’re tired of ineffective quick-fixes and protocols; or being told that what you are experiencing is ‘normal’, unavoidable or just a sign of aging - you have come to the right place!

“Hey, I get it….
Juggling work, family, school, sports, ALL the commitments - often solo. Letting my health take a back seat. Gritting my teeth through back pain, skipping meals or grabbing fast-food, ignoring inflammatory symptoms … because in my daily haste I would take care of everyone BUT myself. “Now'“ was just never the time.
Breakfast was a caramel latte or blended sweetened coffee with a double shot of espresso. Lunch was snack food at my desk: full sized bags of pretzels, chips, granola bars and microwave ‘meals’. The day ended with cocktails - my “reward” and method to unwind after the day’s hustle.
Popping over the counter medications and prescriptions to ease pain and help me sleep through my 20s and 30s. It’s what the doctor prescribed - scolding me for suffering when relief was “so easy.”
Pushing through normalized burn-out — body and mind.
All…the…time. But I was used to it! After all - everyone else was doing the same. Hustling. Suffering silently. Adapting to chronic symptoms and pain.
I WAS ADAPTING TO A SLOW BUT STEADY DEMISE.
PARENTHOOD OPENED MY EYES: WAS THAT THE PRECEDENT I WANTED TO SET FOR MY CHILDREN?
WHAT’S YOUR ‘WHY’?
IF WE WANT TO THRIVE VS. SIMPLY survivE,
WE HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE … AND TAKE TARGETED ACTION.
Adaptation serves a purpose, but if you’re familiar with the Boiling Frog story - you know that it can also be a ticking time bomb! I finally decided I did NOT want to just sit in the pot as the water slowly approached boiling. Do you?
For me, it took being pregnant with my first child over 10 years ago to shake myself out of the Complacency Trance and finally begin pulling myself out of the proverbial pot.
Change is a CHOICE - which had always been mine to make.
It’s always YOURS to make.
The journey doesn’t have to be made alone — I’m here to help.
