About Nichole
Twenty years in the chair. A lifetime at the root.
Hi, I'm Nichole—an Emotional Intelligence Coach based in San Antonio, Texas.
Before earning my degree in psychology, I spent 20 years behind the salon chair, where people often shared the parts of their lives they did not feel safe saying anywhere else. That experience taught me to listen for the story beneath the reaction.
Today, I support individuals and couples who want to better understand emotional patterns, communicate with more clarity, and move forward with practical, values-aligned steps. Faith-informed reflection is available by choice and never required.

Free · 7 days, 7 emailsClient story
"I used to be quick to run away from difficult relationship conversations instead of working through them. Nichole helped me recognize the importance of communicating what I was feeling rather than keeping everything bottled up. She guided me toward a more mature mindset, helped me pause and reflect, and gave me practical guidance I could return to when I needed it. She is incredibly caring and supportive."
The ROOT Framework
Four moves, every time
Recognize the reaction. Observe the pattern. Open the story underneath. Transform your response.
Recognize the reaction
Name what happens in your body and your words before you have language for it.
Observe the pattern
Trace where the same reaction keeps showing up — and what tends to set it off.
Open the story underneath
Notice the belief, assumption, fear, or meaning that may be shaping the pattern.
Transform your response
Practice a different, intentional response until it becomes the one that comes first.
Ways to Work Together

Sessions are delivered over Zoom. Faith-informed reflection is available by your choice and never required.

Personalized Support
Every story is different.
The options above are a starting point—not a rulebook. If your circumstances do not fit neatly into one of these paths, reach out directly.
A limited number of reduced-rate coaching spaces may be available for veterans, first responders, survivors, special-needs parents, and others navigating significant life circumstances. We can talk through your goals, determine whether coaching is the right fit, and identify the most appropriate next step.
Coaching is not therapy or crisis support. If your needs are outside the scope of coaching, I may encourage an appropriate referral to a licensed professional or community resource.
Reach Out Directly →Important: Nichole Marie Coaching provides educational and coaching services. It is not therapy, counseling, diagnosis, medical care, or crisis support. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental-health emergency, call 911 or call/text 988 in the United States.
