You're ready for clarity and courage to transform your life -
and curious about who you could become in the process.
But you feel stuck, lost or stagnant - and want to move forward.
You want help with the strategic, practical and emotional dimensions of change.
You worry that therapy, journaling, vision boards, self-help books or chats with friends aren't quite giving you what you need right now. You don't want to spin here for months.
You want a coach beside you, providing the support you long for.
You could figure out a path forward on your own - but you don't have to.
Transformation Coaching can help you:
- Evolve any area of your life: career, finances, health, relationships, a creative project
- Turn fantasies into goals and goals into realities
- Live more consciously and creatively - with greater purpose and intention
- Carve out space to explore your longings, priorities and options

WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT TRANSFORMATION
Testimonials
Coaching is 100% worth the investment in time, energy and funds. The sessions are powerful and will help you get past stuck places, focus on key elements, and feel calmer and more confident in your decisions. Coaching with Nicola helped me deepen trust in my skills and to move from a place of agency.
Polly Sykes
Therapist
Nicola created a wonderfully safe space to show up with my dreams, goals and the full spectrum of my self-doubt. She helped me explore my beliefs and behaviours with curiosity and compassion, kept me gently accountable for the intentions I’d set for myself, and helped me build courage and confidence.
Jo Williams
Coach & Business Mentor
I really appreciated how enthused Nicola got about my dreams and goals. At the time, I was surrounded by well-meaning but dream-killing acquaintances and colleagues. Coaching helped to validate that my own passions were worth pursuing and provided a foundation for further growth over the years.

WILL MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THIS?
I'm not a registered psychotherapist or social worker, so most people do NOT have benefit plans that cover coaching. However, business owners often claim my fees as an expense and some clients have accessed funds through their professional development budget. If I can provide an invoice or service outline to help you secure workplace funding, I'm happy to support you.
DO I NEED COACHING OR THERAPY?
If you want to expand your sense of what's possible and focus on creating new realities, I recommend coaching. If you're struggling with mental health challenges, substance addiction, crisis or want to focus on healing trauma, I recommend therapy.

More Testimonials
Coaching helped me think and dream bigger. I wanted to finally take the leap to make my first short film and I DID IT! I talked about creating a clothing line, and now it’s HAPPENING. I bought a new car! I've developed a sense of pride and excitement about the future.
I learned that I can rely on myself to get things done and that I'm capable of making the changes I want.
Sarah Millman
Film Maker & Designer
When I first started working with Nicola, I was entering a new life chapter, feeling unmotivated and aimless. I knew in my head and heart what I needed to be doing, but I wasn't merging the two nor making progress on my own. Through coaching, I was able to work through my ideas, map out plans, and make clearer decisions for both short and long-term goals.
Gloria Eid
Writer & Coach
I connected with Nicola at a time of major transition in my life, but I wasn’t sure exactly what I was looking for in coaching. Immediately upon meeting Nicola, I knew we had a great connection and that we would figure it out together. The amount of self-discovery I experienced through coaching was life-changing. If you're seeking a coach, I recommend Nicola!
Tess Gilchrist
Land Use Planner
I was hesitant to purchase coaching services due to cost, and not having a good sense of what to expect of the process or the outcome. Nicola came highly recommended and I decided to give coaching a go, as I was spinning my wheels trying to get unstuck on my own.
I definitely don’t regret it – Nicola helped me to reframe my perspective, using tools and practices that resonated with me and my personal experiences. Since working with Nicola, I have reset with a new job and a new foundation to better coordinate and prioritize my time.

When I hired Nicola, I was full of vision and completely lacking in structure and a pathway to bring my ideas into form. She was able to meet me exactly where I was and be the bridge I needed to help me develop the training program I was working on.
Nicola was masterful at helping me clearly see what was going well, what my strengths were, and how to harness and weave those into my creative process. This is a gift that I know I would not have discovered on my own and which transformed and accelerated the unfolding of my project.
When I started coaching, I was incredibly unhappy and desperately needed a change. I wanted to feel motivated, challenged, and valued in my work - and needed to balance work with self-care. Since then, I have made many positive changes, including leaving my job, launching my own business, and working on fun projects. Nicola helped me realize that I did have the courage to cultivate change. Saying that Nicola is a pleasure to work with is an understatement!
— Jen Burkholder, Communications Consultant
I first began working with Nicola when I was feeling stuck at work. Coaching helped me find clarity and direction quickly, and has led to radical shifts in my thinking and the kind of work I am now doing. Coaching has been a critical investment in myself and my ability to connect with who I am and what I most value in work and life.
