My Journey

Hello, it’s lovely to meet you here. I am Nicolette.

I am a qualified life coach, graduated with distinction from The Coaching Academy (TCA) which is the world’s largest organization for coaches based in London, United Kingdom and finished my Nutrition Diploma at the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) based in Ireland. Both TCA and IHS are recognised by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am also a member of the UK Health Coaches Association. So, how did I get to be a nutrition and lifestyle coach and how did my journey start? Good question! The answer is – I always start with my WHY.

Let me tell you something about myself first; I came into this world when my parents who were expats met in Nigeria in the 70’s, fell in love and got married there. From Nigeria, we moved to the UK, then Manila, then I left for Dubai, California and now I am back again in England. Being exposed to a lot of different cultures, opened my eyes, and changed me as a person – it made me more understanding, open-minded, humble, and respectful of people from all walks of life. From this experience, I realize we all want the same thing – to be truly happy and successful.


I have gained experience in a variety of industries often starting from the bottom and working my way up through hard work and determination to learn. I also believe that with passion, commitment, and the right habits, you can be successful no matter what you set your sight on! In the Philippines, I worked in the music & fashion industry, in Dubai I was a Senior Flight Attendant and in the US I became the head of marketing and sales in a lighting company. These diverse experiences have also taught me that if I am clear with my core values , it will guide me in every decisions I need to make, which is why I am here right now speaking to you.

It has been in my heart all along to help others – the interaction and supporting people achieve what they want has always given me the biggest satisfaction. When I came back to England I realized that I wanted a change of career and having thought about this for a long time I realized that coaching has always been my silent passion. So, I took time out to study, grow more and develop my skills as a life coach, by enrolling at The Coaching Academy.

During my coaching sessions, I realised most of my clients come to me for nutrition & lifestyle goals. That’s when I started reading books about nutrition and it slowly filled up my small library and most importantly my thoughts. When I was planning to get pregnant at 40, I became more serious in studying nutrition and was was amazed to learn all the benefits it bring into our wellness. Thus, I decided to pursue an additional Diploma in Nutrition and made this my coaching focus. It’s my mission to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained to help people live a healthier and happier life. It is my passion to help people optimise health and wellness by creating sustainable healthy habits.

That’s all about me and how about you? I am looking forward to hearing from you so we can get started to work on being the best version of yourself - to increase your energy and live a happier, healthier and more well-balanced life.

What People Are Saying

 

I had a couple of coaching sessions with Nicolette - with the aim to improve my overall lifestyle, health, well-being and achieve a better overall work-life balance.

The sessions were incredibly helpful and Nicolette helped me organize my thoughts, ,made me think about what it is I wanted to achieve and ultimately better articulate my goals. More importantly she helped me break down and structure my goals into achievable steps and then helped me focus on the things that really matter to achieve them.

During our sessions, she was very good at managing time - going deeper on key aspects as needed - while also keeping things moving so each session ended with clearly defined next steps. Importantly, with the questions she brought to our meeting she guided me to uncover and evaluate what is important to me and whether I am willing to to make the sacrifices needed to achieve my goals.

Nicolette listens free of judgment and her pragmatic approach was a massive help to make me feel more confident about myself and my abilities. Her “21-day Habit Building” approach is really useful and formed the foundation for me to get into the required routines and serve as framework to help me become organized.

Nicolette is a brilliant coach, whose empathy, understanding and patience are incredible. I would wholeheartedly recommend her!

Coaching with Nicolette established balance in my life! We worked on the matters of health and wellbeing but also on the matter of work and productivity and since then, I feel more calm and accomplished, as I managed to achieve my goals and become more optimistic about my own strengths and about the possibility of me living the ideal life that I imagined for myself.

Nicolette was an amazing coach, very warm and professional, she gave me the feeling that she had a lot of interest in what I had to said. She paid a lot of attention and her questions demonstrated that she had been listening carefully and that she had been reflecting a lot on what I was saying. For that reason, I felt very comfortable with her, as I did not feel judged at all, but on the contrary, completely understood and accepted.

I want to thank Nicolette for getting me into a fantastic mindset that gets me feeling that I can achieve everything I want! I now understand that it is all a process and that it all depends on me and on the work that I am willing to put in order to accomplish my dreams.

At first, I was hesitant to do it knowing it may not be effective as I never believed in coaching but was curious to try it. Through the session, I was impressed by how the coaching session was so natural and flowed easily. I would say it was helpful and effective and made me look forward to another session. The questions Nicolette asked me made me think and reflect and find some answers, I would definitely recommend it.

It has been a great pleasure to work with Nicolette Bell in my goals. She is a very professional coach, her ability to ask questions, make me think about the way I was going to pursue my dream goal. She has the power to lead me to the right path and make me aware of my weak points,

During the process, she was extremely bright, and very focused on doing what is best for me. She has the insight to ask questions to allow me to be aware where I was failing, at the same time she has the capacity of encouraging, listening and understanding me as a person.

I now see myself more focused and committed to my goal that is why I know I will achieve positive results.

When looking for a coach, I highly recommend Nicolette Bell.

Nicolette was an amazing coach and still is. She managed to turn my big dream into small daily steps that helped me move forward in a professional, practical and professional way

She is non judgmental and doesn’t offer her opinions. She successfully used amazing questioning that guided me on what I actually already knew. My experience with Nicolette has been enlightening and has allowed to me to have multiple paradigm shifts in many areas of my life.

I would definitely recommend her to people I know.
