Together we develop and adapt a plan to meet your individual goals and needs, and I provide guidance and support to create change without adding stress to your life. I support women with PCOS, those trying to conceive or undergoing IVF, and pregnant women including those carrying multiples. I give you the facts and support you to optimise your nutrition so you can feel empowered and take control over your health.
Approach: Warm, easy-going, practical and empowering; evidence-based with personalised plans adapted to individual goals and circumstances; non-judgmental and supportive
Weight Loss Approach
Acknowledges weight loss is difficult with PCOS; takes a non-diet, non-fad-diet approach focused on sustainable dietary change and hormone balance rather than prescriptive weight loss. Focuses on giving the body what it needs rather than dieting. Does not advocate fad diets.

Client Reviews
Success Story
Client with PCOS achieved regular cycle and conceived; client with endometriosis conceived naturally one year after completing program; multiple client testimonials referencing resolution of symptoms and successful pregnancies.
“Saw Nicole as I have PCOS and was trying everything to get a regular cycle so we could fall pregnant. Nicole helped me understand what food does for my body. I never felt like I was dieting, just giving my body what it needs. Thanks to Nicole, we welcome a little girl to our family in November this year!”
“I took up the 6 session Master Coaching program with Nicole, which I found to be well paced based on the large amount of information I was getting and the various dietary habits I was gradually transforming. I highly recommend that program. I asked Nicole to help improve my endometriosis symptoms and therefore my quality of life. I started feeling better within months. And while my infertility issues were not the reason for consulting her, I gave birth to a naturally conceived baby exactly a year after my last consultation with Nicole.”
“Highly recommend Nicole. She is friendly & professional & her knowledge is amazing.”
