Nicole Couchman

Are you tired but wired, gaining weight, suffering with gut issues, finding you have no time for yourself and everything you try to help yourself is not working.

Talk stress with me & I have lived it and all that came with it: sleeplessness, chronic overthinking, constant googling / not switching off, poor absorption, weight loss, hair loss and the list goes on.

I am the mum of a neurodivergent daughter who has been both my greatest gift, teacher and greatest challenge. I chose (not consciously) to step up to the plate. Over the years I deepened my relationship with myself, dropped any BS stories & gradually became who I am today. This has been anything but easy. Yet here I am.

What I learned along the way was how to truly honour what felt best for us with respect for all our differences. Simplifying has been about letting go of outcomes and expectations.

When I first qualified I worked with my daughter’s Occupational Therapist as my passion was to help Mums of high needs kids. What I now know is these Mums are oblivious to the level of stress they endure and normalise. That constant state of over vigilance (always considering the outcome of any decision, outing etc) is not healthy nor sustainable in the long term.

I have managed to come to a place of peace, supported my health and raised my beautiful daughter (solo) through that process. My knowledge is built alongside my values of food and health, integrity, kindness,compassion and lack of judgment. It is a lived and learned experience which creates a depth not present in a text book.

I look forward with connecting with you soon, Nicole
