In a time of restoration and repair after a series of complex compounded traumas (including Covid 19, Black lives matter, climate change, Truth and Reconciliation to name just a few), and in an ever evolving landscape of reparations that are in right relationship with the harm done, the need for more care for mental wellbeing is clear.

Trauma-informed Care is KEY

Psychological safety within workplaces requires education, awareness & training in order to take a closer look at decolonizing through practicing trauma-informed approaches in our communication, relationships and process tools.

I am continuing to learn about how best to “Cultivate Safer Spaces” whether it be with individuals,  in business or the arts.

I am a lifelong learner and will continue to whether I am working as a Dramaturge, Director, Actor (CAEA/UBCP), Playwright (PGC), facilitator or Counselor (CAC II) to reinforce, integrate and support mental wellness and creative expression. This journey began for me,  when I received my addiction counseling certification in 2007, CAC II CCPC Global and started to offer courses and training  as a CACCF Approved CEU Course Provider.

During Covid, I began to specialize in reaching theatre & film/tv artists during Covid, sharing my knowledge & culmination of both careers in order to serve, to uplift, support and offer a more heart centered coaching & counseling service.

One of my coaching processes I call,  “Cycle of Creative Care” is a 3 phase cycle that I designed that works to move at the speed and rhythm for each individual or group.

I am excited to be a featured author in this new book, The Coach’s Guide to Completing Creative Work with my chapter,  ” The Show must go on: so must the Process.” (Routledge Publishing, 2023, edited by Eric Maisel and Lynda Monk.)

“Nicolle was one of my early mentors and coaches when I was a young teen and just starting my film and television journey. She taught me how to protect my artistic energy. I felt that I was so bombarded by intense rules of the business and how to look and how to break into it that I often thought of the art form as secondary, but I loved that Nicolle kept the focus on creative expression. That still guides me today and I am grateful to have encountered her compassionate approach early on in my career.” Jacki Gunn, Actor, Comedian, Writer
