ABOUT
​A truth-seeker, inquisitive thinker, and curious spirit, Nicole has travelled widely, immersing herself in diverse cultures and gathering both experiential and theoretical insights into meaning, purpose, spirituality, and wellbeing.
Before creating Sound Consciousness, Nicole spent over two decades in the corporate and media worlds, as a magazine editor, photojournalist, and government marketing advisor, so she deeply understands the pressures, deadlines, and burnout that come with high performance. This experience, combined with her qualifications in Exercise & Sports Science, Business Marketing, and Pastoral & Spiritual Care, gives her a rare blend of physical, psychological, and spiritual insight.
Nicole is a Wellbeing and Life Transitions Professional, certified as a Clinical Therapeutic Sound Practitioner and End-of-Life Doula. She works through compassionate presence, guiding individuals to reconnect with their inner selves and inspiring growth, transformation, and self-awareness. Her approach blends therapeutic sound, ritual, metaphor, contemplative practices, and therapeutic dialogue.
​Known as a deeply empathic listener, Nicole supports people navigating change, uncertainty, and high-pressure environments, whether professionals and leaders facing burnout or transition, retirees seeking new meaning, athletes adjusting to life beyond performance, or individuals grappling with trauma, addiction, grief, loss, or mortality. She works with those seeking deeper meaning, renewed purpose, and committed personal change.
