Meet Nicola

• My ADHD journey

  I came to ADHD coaching through the incredible people in my life—friends and family who are some of the most intelligent, resilient, humorous, creative individuals I know. These ADHDers are not only thriving in their industries and excelling in their careers but are also raising inspiring children, all while being authentically themselves. Their journeys sparked something in me. So much so that in early 2024, I kissed my CPA designation goodbye to fully make room for my true calling. THIS.

• Who I serve

  I'm energized by working with adult-diagnosed or self-identifying ADHDers who are multi-faceted professionals and entrepreneurs. My clients are typically seeking purpose in their career and life, ready to elevate their leadership skills and take their ventures to the next level. They're prepared to uncover their hidden talents—their inner Ferrari—and let them roar through the challenges.

• How I help

  • Provide tactical and practical weekly structure and planning to stay on course with intended actions

  • Serve as a thinking partner to break down and initiate new ideas, projects, and tasks

  • Offer a broader perspective on challenge areas and leverage client strengths and experiences

  • Build greater self-trust and confidence through practice, reflection, and learning

  • Develop a personal toolkit of tried-and-tested strategies for navigating chaotic work periods and times of transition

  • Create clarity on next steps, offer accountability, and boost confidence in taking desired actions

• My professional journey

  My background includes 16 years in Finance and Sales Analytics, where I led teams and gained extensive experience in workplace coaching and mentoring. I am a Professional Life Coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) at the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) level and a Certified Professional ADHD Coach. Additionally, I'm a Registered Yoga Teacher with over 700 hours of teacher training, specializing in programs for new parents and practices that foster inner peace and stillness (breathwork, meditation, and restorative yoga).

• On a personal note

  Fueled by a love for coffee, community, and a good dose of comedy, I’m endlessly curious about the body, mind, and heart connection and how thoughts become action (or inaction!). My goal is to make each day count, whether through a quiet city walk or spontaneous dance party with my two littles, Emmy and Myles.
