About Nicole
I'm a nutrition and fitness coach with over 9 years of experience and more than 1,600 clients coached, both in person and online. I help people of all backgrounds and stages of life gain confidence, build lasting habits, and take real ownership of their health.
My approach starts with listening. I collaborate with each client to build a plan rooted in their values and their real life, then support them with honest, direct feedback because I believe clarity is a form of kindness. I don't believe in quick fixes or rules that only work on paper. I want my clients to understand the why behind what they're doing, so the changes they make actually last.
I've worked with clients on a wide range of goals, including fat loss, maintenance, building muscle and strength, physique and powerlifting prep, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause and menopause, and finding a healthier relationship with food. I also have a background in in-person nutrition education, where I led grocery store tours, meal planning sessions, and classes on reading food labels and eating well while traveling.
I've put my own body through a lot of the same things I coach. I've run countless 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and several marathons, and I've completed two ultramarathons, a triathlon, a bodybuilding show, and a powerlifting meet. That gives me real experience coaching both the training and the fueling side for active clients.
Above all, I want my clients to feel capable, confident, and in charge of their own health.
My why
My passion for this work comes from my own life. I'm a mom of four, a former military spouse, and someone who lost over 135 lbs after years of yo-yo dieting. Those experiences taught me that health isn't only about willpower. Community, support, environment, and the way we talk to ourselves matter just as much.
That's the why behind the way I coach. I've been the person who was nervous to walk into a gym, and I've been the person who was harder on herself than she'd ever be on anyone else. I want my clients to feel supported and educated, so they can keep going long after coaching ends.
Outside of coaching, you'll find me hiking, baking, playing video games, or at home with my kids, four dogs, and two cats... and 30+ plants.
