About Our Speaker

Nicole Matthiesen is a wellness coach and Ayurvedic Health Counselor.  After (over)working for many years in the corporate world, she found herself burnt out and experiencing several physical ailments, including debilitating digestive issues. Unable to experience effective healing from Western medicine approaches, Nicole was led to the sister sciences of yoga and Ayurveda. On this path, she was able to heal from those digestive troubles as well as from many other issues she had no idea could be cured, such as eczema, seasonal allergies and the depression and hormonal imbalances she suffered from since her teens.

Now she spends her time sharing the wisdom of Ayurveda, yoga and behavior-change science to support women in the corporate world in preventing burnout and realizing more of their own potential through prioritizing their wellness. Through online courses, group coaching and one-on-one coaching/consultations, Nicole guides her clients into adopting the habits and diet that ignite the body and mind’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
