Hi, I’m Nichole,
I HELP WOMEN CULTIVATE A NEW AND EMBODIED CONNECTION WITH LIFE.By exploring the integrated disciplines of mindfulness, coaching, and somatic counseling (Somatic Experiencing), we will go on an empowering journey of self-discovery.
You will learn to be present with the joys of your life as equally as the sorrows, asking deeper questions and opening to deeper answers, learning to occupy the ground you stand on, and coming home to what is true for you. You will learn how to set clear and self caring boundaries (Say NO, when you mean NO, and only say YES, when it feels like an authentic YES). You will get to know what feels alive and true for you, and live a life of your own choosing, not what others wan’t or expect from you.
My commitment to you is to show up fully for you as an ally, friend, and guide. You bring what is true for you. I’ll bring honest reflection, compassion, and wit.
I will see you and support you every step of the way!
This Coaching Group has helped me find a deeper sense of love and compassion for myself as a woman and a human being. The mindfulness and self-reflection practices both within the group collectively, and outside individually, have allowed me to find a deep shift into trusting myself more at my core. Being able to share this experience with an incredible group of women strengthens every aspect of the journey. I’m so grateful for this group series. -AMANDA, PSYCHOTHERAPIST, NEW ORLEANS
are you ready to feel more Empowered, and in control of your life?
As we begin to heel the wounds that caused life to feel unsafe or out of control, and learn to manage our emotions and regulate our nervous system, life will naturally begin to feel more stable and secure. From a place of inner stability, you have more freedom respond to old triggers with awareness and make empowered choices. Instead of managing and controlling, feeling like a victim, over-functioning or trying to get everything perfect, a well regulated nervous system helps you flow with life, with freedom and ease.

Present & Embodied
At the foundation of the Embodied Presence coaching group, is a mindfulness based and trauma informed approach to cultivating a healthy relationship with yourself, in body and mind, so you can be present and feel safe in yourself. Contemporary trauma research is showing that a mindfulness and body based approach is the new gold standard for true healing and growth. To find freedom from dysfunctional patterns, we have to do more than just talk about it. It requires an approach that helps you build flexibility and ease in the nervous system so you can show up for life on life’s terms.
Drawing from my extensive training and certification Mindfulness facilitation and in Somatic Experiencing (nervous system based trauma therapy modality) you will be supported in learning new and healthy ways of relating to yourself, others and to life!

FAQs

That is cool. Not everyone is dealing with the same thing. But the common link between everyone in the group is your desire to heal and grow, and unhook from dysfunctional patterns. So if codependence is your thing, but not perfectionism, or vice versa, for example, you can still explore the material but with a focus on unpacking and healing your particular issue. The practices we will explore will be supportive no matter which issues you relate to most.
-
Yes! Obviously life happens, and sometimes we just can’t make it, but this is not a program that you can just drop in and out of. To get the most of this program consistent attendance is essential.
If you know ahead of time you can’t make the retreat or some of the sessions, you may want to wait until the next time the program is offered. They are essential components of the program.
However, if life happens, as it is inclined to do, and if you miss a session, we can touch base about what you missed, and you will still have a lot of opportunity to regroup through the chat, doing the home practices, and small groups. The large groups will also be recorded so you can catch up that way.
Frequent absences will not work. If you know ahead of time that you will have frequent absences, now might not be the best time for this program.
-
While most of the program is virtual, we will have the retreat in person, probably somewhere in Northern California or in the San Juan Islands in Washington state. At this point the tuition only includes the one day retreat. You will be responsible for your own lodging and meals. However, the intention is to expand the retreat portion of the program into a weekend intensive, at which point it will include an overnight stay, meals, and some guided playtime.
-
If you already feel a full YES, just send me an email saying HECK YEAH!, and I will send you all the registration links. Or, if this sounds really cool, but you need to ask some questions, let me know… we can hop on a 15 min call to explore if this would be a good fit. I’d love to chat with you!
-
Sessions have a basic structure that will be consistent throughout the program, but each session we will explore a new topic and do different/new practices. My commitment is to start ON TIME and ending ON TIME.
Typically we will open with a meditation, individual check-ins, then we will recap previous material, introduce/explore new material, then move into general coaching, and close with a meditation/practice.
