Meet Nicole

Hello, I'm Nicole.

I'm someone who believes that how we move through the world matters just as much as what we accomplish. I'm drawn to honest conversations, meaningful relationships, and the moments where people begin to see themselves and one another a little more clearly.

Over the years, my work has touched the fields of early childhood education, food systems, disability services, housing, conservation, higher education, wellness and fitness, and hospitality. No matter where I've found myself my purpose has remained the same: creating spaces where people can slow down, think together, and move forward with greater clarity, care, and intentionality.

I hold a Doctor of Education (EdD) in Leadership for Educational Equity and am a Certified Cognitive Coaching℠ Coach. I'm an urban farmer and a certified yoga instructor. These experiences have formed and informed the way I live and the way I work.

I don't believe that people need to be fixed. I believe we all benefit from spaces where we can be present, reconnect with what matters, and make aligned choices. Whether I'm coaching an individual, facilitating a team, speaking at an event, or sharing a conversation over coffee, my hope is that people leave feeling more connected to themselves and more capable of navigating the world.

Thank you for being here. I hope our paths cross.

Meet Matt

I believe that how we move through the world, how we pay attention, how we relate, and how we build, shapes the quality of our lives and the systems we are part of.

My work is grounded in the practice of helping individuals and teams deepen their awareness of themselves and their relationships through story, lived experience, and connection to the natural world. I am a writer, observer, and wilderness adventure enthusiast, and I bring a spirit of curiosity to self-development, supporting people as they navigate present challenges with minds open to possibility, discovery, and new ways of seeing.

Alongside this creative and reflective practice, I have spent years working as a Project Manager, leading complex projects that require coordination across people, timelines, materials, constraints, and vision. This work has shaped how I understand systems in a very practical sense: how many moving parts must be held in relationship for something meaningful to come into form.

In project management, success depends not only on technical knowledge, but on communication, presence, adaptability, and the ability to translate intention into coordinated action. I bring these same sensibilities into my work at a(om) helping people notice where alignment is strong, where breakdowns are occurring, and how to move forward with greater clarity and coherence.

I draw on lessons from mindful practice, systems thinking, project leadership, and a life of outdoor exploration as I translate insights into meaningful content and reflection for a(om) on Substack.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to helping people reconnect to curiosity, presence, and a more intentional way of engaging with the world around them.
