The Woman I Was?

She Built the Woman I Am.

Every scar, every setback made me. The woman I was, built the woman I am. And she didn’t hold back.

Real, Powerful Growth Comes From Grit

Every setback is a setup for your next rise. It’s not about avoiding the hard stuff. It’s about facing it, owning it, and growing through it.

Confidence Isn’t Given. You Take It Back.

Confidence isn’t granted. It’s reclaimed. Piece by piece, step by step, you take back what was always yours. The power to change? It’s already in you.

Your Story Isn’t Finished. It’s Just Getting Started.

It’s never too late to rewrite your story. Just don’t play it small. How you started doesn’t define you. How you finish? That’s all you.

I’m Nicole. And Here’s the Deal.

Life doesn’t always go as planned and that’s a damn good thing. The setbacks, the struggles, the moments that nearly break you? They’re the ones that prove what you’re really made of.

I believe in starting over, reclaiming confidence, and rewriting your story...your way. Because if there’s one thing I know, it’s this:

The strongest women aren’t born. They’re forged in the fire.

"I'm not selling you shakes, pills or waist trainers. I'm handing you the roadmap to YOU."

THIS IS MY STORY...AND IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.

I’m from Washington, DC, where my journey kicked off early. By 17, I had already graduated high school and started college. I packed up, moved to NYC, and chased something bigger. I knew from the start that a 9-to-5 wasn’t for me. I wasn’t built for that life. I was determined to carve out my own path, on my own terms.

After a few dead-end jobs and management gigs that showed me exactly what I didn’t want, I broke free and followed my passion. Over the years, I became a personal trainer, a massage therapist, an occupational therapist, and eventually a life coach. I earned another degree in psychology, opened training studios, built gyms, and dedicated my life to empowering women. I was flown first class, training A-list celebrities for the red carpet, bouncing between NYC and LA.

Life was great. Until it wasn’t.

Through missteps I fully own, I lost everything. My car was repossessed. I had nowhere to stay. My big vision, creating a large fitness space for women, crashed hard.

For six months, I lived in my own gym.
No shower.
No kitchen.
No bed.

Every night, I sat up, trying to rest in a space that wasn’t meant for survival. The real turning point came when I looked down at my swollen ankles, a brutal reminder of what this fight was doing to my body. I was using cheap dinner napkins for everything...sanitary needs, washing up in public bathrooms, barely scraping together enough to afford a hotel every other weekend just to get a real shower.

I was surviving...but barely.

...and then I found a spark.

That spark was ME.

I faced the ugly truth of where I was, owned every part of my story, and started rebuilding from the ground up. It wasn’t easy. It wasn’t glamorous. But it was exactly what I needed.

And here I am today. Stronger, clearer, and ready to help you do the same.

MY APPROACH:

No More Overthinking. No More Playing Small. Just Results.

This isn’t about motivation, mindset hacks, or temporary fixes. This is about real execution, real momentum, and real results.

I help high-achieving women who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unseen break free from overthinking and start executing with confidence.

With 30 years of experience in women's health, performance coaching, psychology, occupational therapy, massage therapy, executive function, and behavior change, I’ve built a method that cuts through the noise so you can stop procrastinating, stop second-guessing, and finally take action.

What Makes My Approach Different?

It’s Not Theory. It’s Proven Strategy.
I don’t just give you surface-level advice. I walk you through a step-by-step execution system that rewires the way you work, think, and lead.

I Bridge the Gap Between Mindset & Performance.
This isn’t just about “believing in yourself.” It’s about building the habits, systems, and self-leadership skills that drive unstoppable execution.

I’ve Been Where You Are And I Know The Way Out.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck in overthinking, to question yourself, to fall into the perfectionism-procrastination cycle. But I also know exactly how to break free and that’s what I’ll help you do.

My Mission:High-Performance Without The Burnout.

I help fast-thinking, ambitious women reclaim their time, confidence, and execution power, whether they have ADHD or just feel like they do.

Through The BLOOM Performance Method™, I don’t just inspire change. I ignite action.
