About Me

Boundaries & Identity Coach | Author | Survivor | Voice Reclaimer

I’m not just a coach.

I’m a woman who has walked through fire and chosen to rise – not polished, not perfect, but real.

I’m Nina, founder of NS Coaching. My mission isn’t to “fix” you.
It’s to walk beside you as you reclaim what you were told to hide – your voice, your worth, your light.

I don’t sell coaching.

I share lived experience, hard-earned tools, and a steady presence – because I know how much it matters to have someone walk with you when the road feels impossible.

My Background

My Story: Turning Darkness into Gold

I once lived in silence.
A survivor of childhood sexual abuse and long-term domestic violence, I knew what it was to feel invisible – to feel like my voice didn’t matter, or worse, was dangerous.

For years, I kept the peace, dimmed my light, and played small.
But something in me – a fierce ember – refused to die.

In my thirties, I began piecing my life back together.
I was dangerously underweight, battling an eating disorder, and had attempted suicide more than once. My healing began not with therapy or a grand plan, but with someone who saw past my mask and simply held space for me.

From that moment on, I knew:
I would spend my life being that space for others.

The Work I Now Do - and Why

This isn’t a job. It’s deeply personal.

I walk my talk – with bare feet on the ground and truth in my voice.
I honour what was. I own who I am. And I rise into what will be.

When we work together, you’re not buying a program.
You’re choosing a path that leads you back to yourself.

This isn’t theory. This is lived.
And because I’ve lived it, I see you – the parts you’ve hidden, the strength you forgot you had.

What I Offer Isn’t Just Coaching - It’s a Homecoming

Together, we create a space where you can:

Reclaim your voice
Remember your worth
Rise into the life that’s been waiting for you

I see my journey not through shame or fear, but to honour the soul who fought her way through the fire.
Now I honour yours too.

My Promise to You

You didn’t go through what you went through for nothing.
You didn’t survive all of that to stay stuck.
Your time is now.

Let yourself shine.

💜 My Journey with Broken to Brilliant

I am proud to be a contributing author to Shattered to Shining, a book created by Broken to Brilliant – a charity founded by survivors of domestic abuse to support others on their long-term journey of recovery.

What began as a single act of courage – saying yes to sharing my story – awakened something in me I didn’t know was waiting – a sleeping giant.

Writing my chapter opened doors I hadn’t even realised were closed. It shifted how I saw myself, my story, and my purpose.

For years, I carried the weight of shame and unworthiness – labels given to me by those who should have protected me. Through Broken to Brilliant, I learned to see those lies for what they were, and to step into my voice with strength.

Becoming an author was never about the title. It was about showing that our stories matter – that speaking the truth can heal not only ourselves, but also those who walk a similar path.

That’s why my mission is not only coaching, but also writing, speaking, and shining a light on what too often hides behind silence.

Brave. Brilliant. Resilient.
