About Nicole

My Formation & Background

I spent 16 years in ministry, including international ministry and fundraising, where I served in roles spanning leadership, communications, event planning, translation, and member care. That season deeply shaped my understanding of calling, service, and the quiet cost of doing meaningful work without enough structure to support it.

Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to the invisible work that makes meaningful work possible: systems, processes, and infrastructure.

That pull eventually led me into roles as a Marketing & Communications Director and, currently, as an Operations Director at a consulting startup. My day-to-day work now involves launching initiatives, building infrastructure, and helping people turn ideas into something clear, functional, and sustainable.

I’ve also personally walked through the process of setting up a spiritual direction practice — navigating pricing, intake, systems, and structure — and through that experience discerned that my own calling wasn’t to offer spiritual direction full-time, but to support those who do.

This combination — ministry formation and operational leadership — is what shapes how I approach coaching.

How I Work

I’m trained as a spiritual director and trained in the Enneagram, and I understand the inner terrain of this work — the discernment, the resistance, and the questions around money, visibility, and sustainability that don’t always get named out loud.

At the same time, my instinct when things feel scattered or overwhelming is to help simplify, clarify, and move forward in a way that feels aligned. Much of my work focuses on helping people build systems that can support growth — whether that means more clients, clearer boundaries, or simply more ease.

I believe:

• The foundation of a sustainable practice is alignment (with your current season, financial needs, calling, etc.)

• Clarity creates momentum

• Simplicity is wisdom

• Structure isn’t the enemy of depth — it’s what allows depth to last

My coaching style is practical, direct, and supportive. We name resistance when it shows up, but we don’t get stuck there. The goal is steady forward movement that honors both your values and your real life.

Outside of Work

Outside of coaching, I’m someone who enjoys a slower pace — even though I’m wired for momentum.

I love a good cup of tea, getting lost in a great novel, and spending time in nature. I’m also curious by nature and enjoy trying new things — from training for an obstacle race, to attempting sourdough, to signing up for an aerial silks class just to see what it’s like.

I’m deeply shaped by contemplative and liturgical spirituality and regularly return to silence, retreat, and practices that help me stay grounded and attentive to God’s presence.

I live in Holly Springs, Georgia, with my two daughters, Camila and Brianna, and our Australian Labradoodle, Guapo. Life is full, imperfect, and meaningful — and I care about building work that fits real life, not an idealized version of it.
