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, demonstrating 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 physical, mental, and emotional 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 behaviour 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 behaviour to transform your life doesn't have to be an insurmountable feat.

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.

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.

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 Framework, 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. 

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 Framework, and what you need to consider to ensure that your relationships and social network are improving your health, not hindering it.

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.

A routine isn't only necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It's also a means of reducing stress, and creating the balance and predictability that your body and brain need to thrive.

But then what is the ideal routine? And how do you adjust it to accommodate a work schedule that might be on site, at home, hybrid, in transit, or in shifts?

Loaded with practical advice, this factual presentation demonstrates the ideal stress-reducing routine, demonstrating how, when and why you can integrate small things every day to free yourself from physical, mental, and emotional stress.

We live in an all-or-nothing society, especially when it comes to health. We think we need to cut calories to lose weight. We think we need to work out for a certain length of time to get the body we want. We think we need to be perfect to get results.

But the irony is that this misguided quest for perfection isn't just keeping us from reaching our health and wellness goals. It's making us unhealthier - physically, mentally, and emotionally - than we've ever been.

In this thought-provoking session, Nicole provides realistic, effective and evidence-based advice for the most common scenarios where today's busy professionals hinder their progress, and explains why the only way to get results is to break the habit of pursuing perfection. 

Everything you do, think, and feel starts in the brain. Stress also starts in the brain. And although short doses of acute stress can help us focus, meet deadlines, and accomplish great things, most busy professionals are putting themselves through chronic stress that is destroying their bodies and minds - without them even knowing it.

In Your Brain on Stress, Nicole provides realistic solutions for how we can reduce the chronic stress, including Hidden Stress, that can change the shape of the brain, impair mood and memory, and ultimately affect everything we do, think, and feel.

Call it an instinct, a hunch or a gut reaction...we're all born with an intuitive sense.

But this innate skill doesn't just influence our ability to make decisions in our personal and professional lives. It can also influence our physical and mental health.

In this progressive and enlightening presentation, Nicole demonstrates how intuition is linked to The Hidden Stress Framework, explaining why making an instinctive decision to follow your gut can increase your odds of achieving optimal physical health, while reducing stress in your body and your life.

Whether you have them mid afternoon, after dinner, or all day long, cravings represent imbalance in the body. And if there's imbalance inside your body, you're exposing it to unnecessary stress that is sabotaging your results and keeping you from feeling your best.

In this highly informative presentation, Nicole provides unique insight into how cravings are related to food, dieting, exercise, sleep, and emotional or mental stress. You'll also learn The Cheat Principle™️, a proven set of realistic guidelines for how to stay healthy and have fun – without feeling guilty. The ultimate goal? That your addiction to sugar or salt is replaced with an addiction to feeling awesome – every single day.

Gut health might seem like it's just a trend, but it's always been an imperative component of optimal health, affecting immunity, disease, mental health, and the trillions of cells that make up our body and brain.

The real trend, however, is that when we struggle with symptoms that suggest our gut is not functioning, we tend to believe that specific foods and supplements will fix the problem.

In this presentation, Nicole combines her expertise as an award-winning Nutritionist and Stress Expert to explain why the specific factors and habits that must be considered in order to have a digestive system that supports a healthy body and mind.

Although the pandemic has provided us with opportunities to reflect and re-evaluate, it has also created consistent uncertainty and ongoing stress. But it's not necessarily one additional event that makes life overwhelming. Instead, it's the cumulation of multiple, consecutive events for which we were not able to prepare.

Discussing the importance of language, how to increase control over your mood, changing your relationship with emotions, and the neuroscience behind emotionality and how it can change our worldview, this 60-minute session will help you de-stress in the moment and sustain ways to manage your mood and your life with less pressure and more ease.

Mental Health has always been an important subject, but in light of how the pandemic and stress levels have affected the workplace, the need for understanding and support from management is imperative.

In this thoughtful and solution-oriented session, Nicole reveals how the hidden stressors linked to anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders can also provide multiple opportunities for leadership teams to not only attract and retain healthy and happy team members, but create a higher performing business as a result.
