I'm Nicole, a Holistic Wellness + Somatic Trauma Informed Parent Coach. I know what it feels like to lose yourself in parenthood—the exhaustion, the overwhelming responsibility, and the quiet ache of not feeling seen.

When I had my first child, I couldn’t recognize myself anymore and that sense of loss hit me deeply. I was buried beneath health challenges, overwhelm, burnout, and the impossible expectations placed on mothers. I realized I needed change. And I knew I couldn’t be the only parent feeling this way.

But those struggles became the catalyst for my own healing. My child was my wake-up call, leading me down a path of self-discovery, health restoration, and deep transformation.




here's the dish on me.

Hi there, Nice to meet you!

Me

about

I read all the books, listened to podcasts, read articles, took parenting classes, you name it, I did it. That journey led me to earn certifications in holistic nutrition, conscious parenting, somatic trauma-informed coaching, and holistic health coaching. But beyond the credentials, it’s my lived experience that allows me to truly connect with parents who feel just like I did, lost, unseen, and yearning to reclaim themselves.

Now, as a holistic trauma informed parent coach, my mission isn’t to “fix” you or provide a one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, I believe you don’t need to be fixed at all. I’m here to arm you with tools and insights that will empower you to take charge of your own healing journey and create the kind of family life you want, on your terms, in your own way. I’ve learned that real transformation doesn’t come from following someone else’s blueprint; it comes from tuning into your own inner wisdom.

I began to take control of my life like a full time job

You know your child better than anyone else. My role is to guide you in unlocking that wisdom, by providing strategies and perspectives that are grounded in holistic principles, trauma-informed care, and real-life parenting experience. I’m not here to tell you how to parent but to help you reconnect with your own intuition, restore balance, and create a parenting approach that works for you and your family.

This isn’t about perfection or ticking boxes on a checklist; it’s about helping you step into a more aligned, confident version of yourself as a parent. Whether you’re looking to heal generational patterns, improve communication, manage stress, or navigate the complexities of raising strong-willed or sensitive children, I’m here to walk alongside you not as an authority figure, but as a partner in your process.

I believe that as a parent, you are the expert.

  • I’m obsessed with organizing. But in reality, the kids usually have a different plan for our home!
  • I was married in South Africa, and our ring bearers were two brother cheetahs.
  • I secretly wish I could be a farmer. Growing my own food and living off the land is the ultimate dream!

Fun Facts About Me

A Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach specializes in helping individuals understand and heal from trauma by integrating body awareness with mental and emotional healing. In this approach, the coach recognizes the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit, especially in the context of stress, overwhelm, and emotional regulation, without stepping into the clinical role of a therapist. This type of coaching focuses on creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore how trauma is held in the body, how it affects their daily lives, relationships with their children and how to release stored emotions or sensations that block healing. We work with the trauma and not on it.

Trauma informed coaching offers client's a supportive space to rebuild healthy, empowered relationship with themselves, their children and their future, especially after challenging experiences. Therapists work with diagnosis and processing past trauma. Trauma informed coaching is about guiding people toward growth, resilience, and a strong sense of self. It's a beautiful bridge between traditional coaching and therapy.
