Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
Yes, for a bit-Charlestown. We moved to Derry, NH when I was 6 and I moved back to Charlestown after high school and lived there for 15 years before moving out of the city 6 years ago.
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I have always wanted to help people. Having worked with trauma survivors, having healed from multiple traumas and PTSD, I was being led to my purpose. After years of pursuing my other passion, Photography, which I still do as a successful second business, I continued to be called to this work. As I went deeper into my own intuition and had breakthrough after breakthrough, I know that all I wanted was to guide others to experience this same type of transformation. I empower women to recognize their limited beliefs, remove old patterns and reprogram their stories to match their truths all while uncovering their light to see their full potential. In our work together, we co-create an experience that will leave you with: A deeper intimacy with your higher self and in all relationships and life. A powerful feeling to show up fully expressed in the world. Transformation and break through in life and work so that you feel confident, able and worthy. Creating an empowered photo session to capture and embrace both the shadows and light inside. If I hadn't been through all that I had and continued to have an optimism that I could heal, I would not be where I am today. I spent years healing and stepping into my power and I want to help others unveil their own power. I believe if we can all heal our wounds and show up in the world from a truly empowered place, we can collectively create a brighter future and planet.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
I'll let them speak: “I have never told anyone those fears and feelings of shame that I had and where they were from. It was so easy to share with you on that first call and going forward. The way you guided me through it all was so gentle yet powerful. It was as if 30+ years of weight started to be lifted off of me. I felt lighter from the moment I shared those parts of myself.”-SL | ``I am not exaggerating when I say that this experience has been life-changing for me! There are experiences I've been trying to face and work on for years and Nicole helped me finally break through.`` -LN
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
Trust your own intuition.
What is your favorite book?
The Mastery of Love-Don Miguel Ruiz
What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, a organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)
Having my own coach! I resisted it for so long but I truly believe everyone should have some that can guide them and help them see what they need to while holding them in a space of support, honesty and love.
What is your most recent WIN? How are you slaying it in your career or business?
I'm still near the beginning of my business.I started a year ago very part time and have been growing it for the last few months to become FT. I would say there's not one WIN, but rather, every call I've had with clients has felt powerful, they have left the calls with a lot more possibility than when they come in and I have left feeling incredibly grateful for this work.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Trust your gut, don't let others condition you to believe that you don't know the answers for YOU. You are worthy and capable of anything you want in this life.
How do you enjoy your free time?
Lots of time in nature when it's warmer, hiking, kayaking, playing in waterfalls or other bodies of water, hanging with my boyfriend, friends and family. Other things I love to do: Dancing, Tarot and Oracle Cards, puzzles, cards, movies are favorites in the colder months.
What is something that not many people know about you?
I'm a pretty open book, so I'm not sure there's much.
