Here’s what my clients say about me:

“Having worked with Nicola she certainly does challenge you and inspires you to challenge yourself. I am pleased to have Nicola as a friend as well as a coach who takes a great pride in results and your personal development. If you want to take massive steps forward in your business and personal life, talk to Nicola. You will be amazed by the results and also how much you can find out about yourself through personal coaching. I can't think of anyone better to talk to in order to reach your goals and learn about the inner you. Nicola is not only inspirational but has a personality that puts you at ease. Nicola's enthusiasm is infectious.” Richard Fitzpatrick, Sales Director

“Luminate Coaching certainly shined the light for me on how to take control of my future and how the actions you take and thoughts you have shape it! Nicola’s professional yet relaxed approach to taking ownership of your own destiny provided a truly thought provoking yet common sense approach to getting the most out of life!” Leigh Clarke, Business Owner

“Nicola recently delivered a seminar to the Business Link Black Country Inspirational Women networking group, which was an outstanding success. She has a very professional, but approachable style and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a speaker and coach: Karen Barnshaw, Business Link

Nicola has presented Goal Setting workshops on behalf of WiRE on many occasions to ladies who are considering and who have recently started a business. I have found her presentations to be thought provoking and the ladies who have attended her sessions have used the information given to take their business ideas forward in a structured way.” Sheila Henshall, Women in Rural Enterprise (WiRE)

“Luminate and Nicola were a catalyst for change in my life. Being a busy wife and mother with a full on career, I started to feel like a hamster juggling on a wheel. Being careful to keep all the balls in the air and run was exhausting. I was feeling out of control and something was missing. Coaching with Nicola made me take time out to reflect on the journey that I am making. With Nicola's help I identified the areas of my life that I needed to improve and what was really important to me (the answers were a revelation and I thought I knew my mind well!) Nicola was easy to talk to and I trusted her completely, she never judged my motivations, thoughts or tried to lead me in any direction. She helped me to dig up the answers and motivations that were buried under the activities of everyday life. From there she guided me to make a realistic action plan for the future. I have now started my own business which I do part time, leaving me more time for my family, friends and me! I feel less anxious, guilty and lost - I am now back in control of my life.” Sharon Harvey, Freelance Marketing Manager

“I was stuck in a career rut, and had been for some time. I didn't know if I should have a complete change of scene. Nicola's dedication and taking my 'whims' about the future seriously was very supportive, and as the sessions went on, I had some major revelations, firstly about my values and then about my work. Nicola is professional and supportive, but also kind and friendly. I didn't feel pressured at any point, but I did feel empowered to help myself. It has changed a lot for me - all in good ways. I can see more clearly what I want to do with my career and I am less afraid to speak up for myself and my values. The biggest thing I learned is that the future is an open book - as long as you allow it to be.” Jenny Stallard, Journalist

“I hate planning, but I now have a clear plan for achieving my goals over the next 12 months - and all my family will benefit from it.” Alistair Cumming, HR Consultant

“As a client of Nicola’s I have no hesitation in writing a review for the service that I have received. It was with trepidation that I contacted Nicola with a view to her coaching services, but I was immediately put at ease by her warm nature and clear understanding of my needs. Without doubt the coaching to date has had a dramatic and positive effect upon my general outlook on life and business. Throw away any preconceptions you may have about Life Coaching – Nicola delivers truly exceptional coaching and has made a lasting impression on me and my business.” Owen Wyn-Jones, Business Owner, The Best of Wolverhampton

“I first went along to a course of 6 Life-Coaching sessions for a charity that Nicola was supporting. I was persuaded to go by a friend as I really didn't think anyone could change my life, but within those six short weeks Nicola actually gave me the strength to believe that I was just as important in this world as anybody else. Nicola has the ability to see everyone's needs, from any angle, and then help them to improve their life, she is a truly remarkable lady and also now a very dear friend.” Carol Whitehouse, Entertainer

“I am the world's biggest cynic when it comes to Life Coaching. What do they know! I've seen it all! But Nicola's style is different; she is highly intelligent, well read, naturally warm and fantastically encouraging. She has helped me to open my mind to different ways of thinking, working and operating. The results have been quite extraordinary; I have gained higher profile clients (nearly all by recommendation) and I've learned to value my skills more highly, and consequentally put them to better use. I would recommend anyone to contact Nicola - even if you think you “know it all”! You can only gain.....” Kate Copestake, Business Owner and Vice President of the Black Country Chamber of Commerce
