You’re meant for MORE.
You’re here for a reason.
And that reason is to share your God-given gifts with the world.
I want to share a secret with you…
…you will never be truly happy, healthy, or whole until you align with God’s plan for your life.
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'”
Jeremiah 29:11, NIV
Hi, I’m Nicole!
I’m a Catholic coach and faith-based healer.
I first became aware of my prophetic gifts at nine years old when I predicted a bird would poop on me (yes, it’s true! It happened just a few seconds later). Since then, I’d often have visions that would quickly come true. However, I didn’t have the opportunity or resources to develop my intuition further. Growing up in a conservative Christian family, I was told such powers were evil or “witchcraft,” so I dismissed my intuitive hits for YEARS. Ignoring my spiritual gifts without channeling them appropriately led to severe anxiety, suicidal depression, and chronic illness because I wasn’t living in alignment with my life purpose.
Fast forward to my twenties when I hit rock bottom in the emergency room with a panic attack. This was the unfortunate result of repeatedly trying to force my soul into the box of the “American Dream.” Go to school, get good grades, get a good job with excellent pay and even better benefits, and everything will be fine, right? I knew something had to change, but not knowing where to turn, I quit my job and started down the wrong path of New Age spirituality.
Over the next several years, I studied various metaphysical modalities and occult practices. Then, everything hit the fan, and my entire life fell apart. I had, quite literally, a “come to Jesus” moment in which God revealed how I’d allowed my search for “truth” to go from secular to satanic. I knew there had to be another way to share my spiritual gifts with the world. In discovering the fullness of truth in the Catholic faith, I recommitted my life to Christ and shifted my focus to helping people discover and develop their spiritual gifts from a Biblical perspective.
Now, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt intuition is a gift from God, and we’re here on this earth to use God’s grace to help people heal, I’m on a mission to empower people to use their spiritual gifts and abilities to God’s glory.
Are you ready to pursue your purpose, develop your spiritual gifts, and share them with the world?
I can’t wait to show you how to connect to your calling, deepen your connection to God, and create a positive impact and lasting legacy!
I was trying to do things on my own…
…chasing MY dreams, and pursuing MY desires, rather than aligning with God’s plan for my life, which was far greater than anything I could have ever imagined.
Once I let go of control, surrendered to God, and let Him do the work, everything clicked. Life made sense, and I no longer had to “make things happen.” I trusted God to take care of me by providing not what I thought I wanted, but what I needed.
Nicole is amazing and you gain so much insight into your life and how to finally achieve the dreams you’ve had for years. It’s worth every penny. I highly recommend Nicole. She helped me… dig deep into why I was feeling a certain way. She listened and could really help me identify my resistance in places I didn’t even think was possible. She allowed me space to believe in myself again which allowed my business to grow, reaching the next level. Thank you, Nicole, for your gifts and ability to see where I limit myself.

Emily Thomas
Registered NurseWhen I met Nicole, I wasn’t sure what and if I had any spiritual gifts and where I was headed with most aspects of my life. I just knew things weren’t right. I was at a crossroads and wasn’t sure where to head next. The feeling of general unease and unwellness permeated everything. I was tired. I didn’t really want to DO anything. Playing with the kids was a chore, working on my relationship with my husband was a pain, and the thought of trying to get out of the job that was making me miserable was a headache and heartache on top of it all.
Nicole really helped me just focus on what was important to me and find a way to clear out the clutter in my mind. I realized that some of the “fuzz” in my mind was actually my spirit… trying to talk to me, but I wasn’t willing to listen. Once I opened my mind and heart to the possibility of resolving the conflict within myself, one by one, the external problems also began to resolve one by one as well. My relationship with my husband and our communication improved. My playful side reemerged and the kids and I began to have more fun together. My Etsy business not only found roots but began to thrive. And a job that had been draining my energy, I was able to leave when a new opportunity fell into my lap.
With Nicole’s help, I’ve learned to let go of the need to be in control of every little thing. And in releasing the need to know the how and when everything will work out, I have found more things falling into place. More dreams coming true in even better ways than I could even imagine.
I highly recommend Nicole. She is easy to talk to and her whole life approach is amazing. You cannot just focus on one part of your life when many things are not working. As you sort out the roots that are tangled, she has amazing resources to help you branch out and find additional contacts to help you further your journey and she is always there to assist you as well!

I see myself as a channel, a vessel to be used by the Holy Spirit. I don’t heal you. I’m merely a tool. God is the one who heals you.
“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
Matthew 18:20, NIV
Together we will:
➢ Connect to your calling. Discover your identity as a beloved child of God and pursue your purpose with clarity and confidence.
➢ Call upon the Holy Spirit. Using prophetic gifts and spiritual abilities such as laying hands and speaking and tongues, you’ll become a channel for God’s grace.
➢ Share your gifts with the world. When you connect to your calling, pursue your purpose, and share your spiritual gifts with the world, you heal not only yourself but others as well.
Clarity. Connection. Calling.
The wait is over. You don’t need to keep searching for something outside of yourself. If you’ve accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit is already with you, in you, and moving through you.
Deepening your relationship with God means you can make sense of the noise, clear the clutter from your life, and have complete faith and confidence in who you are, what you do, and why you do it.
Don’t believe the lies. You are here for a reason. You’ve been blessed with spiritual gifts and abilities. And your purpose in life is to help others by sharing your God-given gifts with the world.
Are you ready to step into your power, know your worth, speak the truth, and shine your light all for the glory of God’s kingdom?
