About

Hey!

I’m Nicole, your neighbourhood writer and trauma-informed creativity coach with a dash of faith and a somewhat concerning sense of humour thrown in for free.

I believe in the power of narrative, not just the kind that changes books but also lives.

Plot twists happen to us all. I’m here to help you navigate the unexpected chapters with safety, freedom, and connection. I especially love helping fellow creatives (writers, visual artists, and more) recover their creative voice and process after setbacks or burnout. 

Although I wear many professional hats, I most cherish the ones where I get to find words for the paradoxical, “bright sadness” of human existence; empower others to find their God-given voice and choice; and help cultivate greater wholeness in an often fragmented, disconnected world. 

As an author, I’ve danced with my own shadows, feebly wrestled with God and doubt, and written books that double as spiritual survival guides for folks who appreciate the wisdom of lived experience, liturgical Christian faith, and sacred mystery. 

But wait, there’s more! As a certified trauma-informed coach, I’m not just about the words. I’m also about sitting with the pain, bearing compassionate witness as my clients return to their strong and creative selves so they can take meaningful action in their lives. 

In a world that sometimes feels like a choose-your-own-crisis novel, I’m here to help you slow down, hold space for what needs to be heard or felt, and choose a new path of safety, connection, and meaning.

Let’s get the transformation party started.
