Hi, I’m Nicki!

This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you about me…Who am I?

It took me a long time to realize, that I’m a walking paradox—with competing desires and parts of me. They used to be at war with eachother. Now? I’ve found a way to accept and integrate them in what sometimes feels like a “perfect” [for me] balance. Now, I accept that I’m a perfectly imperfect and complicated human being — or rather a spiritual being living a human experience.

The truth is we spend so much time putting ourselves in boxes, accepting labels : introvert or extrovert, sensitive or strong, shy or confident, nurturing or challenging, career oriented or family focused, home body or social butterfly, creature of comfort or adventure seeker?

Truly, I now know that I am all these things AND MORE. And so are you! We are more than the labels we define ourselves by. I spent a lot of my life trying to find where I fit in, until I accepted that sometimes I don’t — sometimes I stand out, and when you heal the wounds and the shame and stop making meaning out of the situation? It’s liberating!

I will however share some facts about me and things I love:

  • I’m a mom of two beautiful children—a girl and a boy.

  • As a former corporate ladder climber turned coach, the entrepreneurial journey has challenged me on so many levels but it’s also allowed me to create freedom on so many levels which is one of my core values.

  • I love sunflowers (in case you couldn’t tell by my branding) but as a symbol the flower holds a very powerful and multi layered meaning.

  • I’m now an expat. I recently moved my family from Toronto, Canada to Alicante Spain. I speak English and French fluently and am working on learning Spanish currently.

  • I am highly intuitive and love all things Woo — Astrology, Human Design, Oracle cards, Crystals etc. and I will incorporate these things into my coaching if aligned with and requested by my clients.

  • I love hats and am amassing a collection even though I don’t wear them as often as I’d like. I also have a very large collection of Nutcrackers that i’ve been acquiring from the age of 4.
