For most people, financial pressure, tight deadlines, or relationships immediately come to mind as sources of stress. But today’s busy professionals add stress to their bodies and minds in other ways too. In this thought-provoking presentation, Nicole takes a strategic and innovative approach to health and habit change, helping you identify which of the Top 10 Hidden Stressors are sabotaging your physical, mental, and emotional health – without you even knowing it. You’ll walk away understanding why it’s imperative that today’s busy professionals prioritize Hidden Stress in order to get results, manage day to day stress, and optimize their health.
How long does it take to change habits? How do I change my habits if I have no will power? And how do I change my habits long term? These are common questions when it comes to transforming behaviour. In Train Your Brain for Habit Change, Nicole takes a fresh approach to behavior change, helping you discover why the old school habit change model doesn’t work, why getting results requires a shift in thinking, and why transforming your behavior to transform your life doesn’t have to be an insurmountable feat.
Whether you struggle to get to sleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling rested, you’ve likely realized that not getting enough rest can affect your stress levels, mood, and other aspects of your physical and mental health. But this doesn’t mean you need to rely on drugs or quick fixes to get the restorative sleep that is essential to optimal health. In this informative, evidence-based, and eye-opening presentation, Nicole reveals the seven factors that contribute to a restful sleep, while providing practical solutions to help you create and maintain a sleep routine that reduces stress on your body and mind.
Although today’s fast paced lives have us convinced that always doing something means we’ll get more done, our addiction to multi-tasking, rushing, and being on the go is not just decreasing productivity, it’s negatively impacting our health – adding stress, overloading the nervous system, lowering IQ, increasing anxiety, imbalancing hormones, impairing memory, and more. In Choose Stillness Over Illness, Nicole simplifies the science of stress and stillness, provides realistic suggestions for how to break the seemingly impossible habit of slowing down, and explains why optimal health, mindset and productivity is not linked to action, but is, instead, rooted in our ability to be still.
In today’s digital age, our screens are essential but come at a cost. “Screen Shot” delves into the profound impact excessive screen time has on brain health, memory, focus, and mood. This seminar uncovers how constant screen exposure overstimulates the brain, disrupts sleep, and fuels stress, leading to physical and emotional exhaustion. Gain practical strategies to reclaim your focus, enhance your well-being, and find balance in a screen-saturated world. Whether for work or leisure, discover how small changes can make a big difference in protecting your brain and body from the hidden stress of modern technology.
For years, multitasking was praised as the ultimate productivity tool, but the truth is far from empowering. This seminar uncovers the hidden costs of trying to do it all: impaired memory, reduced focus, diminished intelligence, and long-term damage to brain health. Learn how multitasking overstimulates the brain, increases stress, and undermines your ability to think clearly and creatively. Explore science-backed strategies to break the cycle, embrace single-tasking, and harness your full cognitive potential. If you’re ready to boost your focus, protect your health, and reclaim your peace of mind, this seminar will show you the way forward.

When it comes to nutrition, it’s common to assume that the sole benefit of ‘eating better’ is to lose weight or change our physical appearance. But the 3 pounds of matter between your ears is also impacted by what you eat. Made of protein, fat, carbs and water, your brain is responsible for everything you do, think, and feel, and like a luxury vehicle, it’s imperative that you fuel it properly. In Your Brain on Food, Nicole incorporates over 30 years of nutrition research, client results, and personal experience to help participants understand why what’s good for the body is also good for the brain. Whether you struggle with stress, anxiety, brain fog, your weight, or other physical or mental health complaints, you’ll walk away with a fresh and informed outlook on what, when, where and why you eat, not just for the sake of your body, but also for the sake of your brain.
Did you know that what you eat affects how you think, how you feel, and how you manage stress? In this thought-provoking, evidence-based presentation, Nicole explains why the billions of cells in your brain must be fuelled with proper nutrition in order to optimally function, and how nutritional stress plays a key role in today’s growing mental health challenge. You’ll walk away understanding how the food you eat affects your brain, how the health of your brain affects your physical and mental wellness, and which foods to consume (or not) in order to best manage your mood and mindset.
For decades, society has underestimated the value of exercise, believing that its benefits are limited to burning calories or creating a better looking body. Ironically and sadly, these misconceptions are making us sick, fat and stressed out. Incorporating over 30 years of experience as a dancer, personal trainer, fitness instructor, pilates coach, marathon runner, and reformed calorie-counting over-exerciser, Nicole introduces The 360 Rule, a simple formula that demonstrates how today’s busy professional can follow a realistic, effective, and efficient fitness routine to reduce stress, optimize brain health, boost immunity, and get results.
Have you ever considered that a purpose, a sense of direction, and a clearly defined vision could influence your health? Presenting leading edge content and advice, Nicole uses The Hidden Stress Method, client research, and scientific evidence to demonstrate that a higher sense of purpose in life is associated with less stress and anxiety, better sleep and mood, and reduced risk of chronic disease, drug use, and mortality. By the end of the hour, you’ll discover that getting and staying healthy starts by designing a life you love and living that life – on purpose.
Are you an over thinker? If you are, you’re not alone. In our personal and professional lives, analysis is necessary. But over analysis – the act of rumination, worrying, or being ‘stuck in your head’ – can affect your nervous system, imbalance hormones, and have a negative impact on your physical, mental and emotional health. It is, however, a habit that can be broken. Combining science with mindfulness, Nicole presents a unique approach to overcoming overthinking – one that can improve your health and mood, develop your ability to be more present and productive in life, and help you master an invaluable skill – the ability to listen to your innate intuitive sense.

Have you ever considered that your social network could be good for your health, helping to reduce stress and your susceptibility to serious disease? But research proves that it’s not about the quantity of people in your circle. Instead, it’s about quality. In this presentation, Nicole explains why lack of social connection is part of The Hidden Stress Method, and what you need to consider to ensure that your relationships and social network are improving your health, not hindering it.
Feeling tired in the morning, mid afternoon, after dinner, or all day long is a common complaint. In fact, low energy or fatigue is one of the top 5 symptoms related to Hidden Stress. Unfortunately, it’s also common to reach for food, drink or medications that promise to give us the boost we need to be productive, motivated and even manage stress. But just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s right. These short-term fixes to increase energy are negatively affecting our long-term health. In this presentation, Nicole passionately explains how Hidden Stress is draining your energy, highlights the most commonly overlooked habits that are keeping you tired, and provides realistic and proven solutions that can help you recover this valuable resource – starting today.
If you find it hard to focus or pay attention, you’re not alone. But before you reach for medication to control your train of thought, take comfort knowing that you have more power over your mind than you might think. In Failure to Focus, Nicole explains why our inability to stay focused is one of the leading health complaints, making us unhealthy, unproductive, and stressed out. Packed with evidence-based advice, you’ll walk away empowered with knowledge, motivated by realistic suggestions, and inspired by your ability to train your brain to focus.
We live in an all-or-nothing society, especially with health. We believe weight loss requires cutting calories, fitness demands long workouts, and results come from perfection. But this pursuit of perfection isn’t helping – it’s making us unhealthier. In this eye-opening session, Nicole shares realistic, evidence-based strategies to help busy professionals overcome common pitfalls and finally see results by letting go of perfection.

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you’re there? Struggled to recall conversations or events others remember in detail? Sat down for lunch and realized you can’t remember what you had for breakfast? Before blaming age or a packed schedule, consider the role of Hidden Stress – the often-overlooked daily stressors that can quietly disrupt memory and impact cognitive performance. In this session, you’ll gain practical, proven tools to strengthen memory, sharpen focus, and support long-term brain health – without relying on hacks, trends, or guesswork.
