A life of reinvention, purpose and possibility

Meet Nicola Salter

Helping women make sense of change and create what comes next.

I have spent most of my working life helping women navigate change. Sometimes that has meant supporting women through anxiety, burnout or a difficult life transition.

Sometimes it has meant working with women who feel overworked and undervalued, and have become so used to putting everyone else first that they no longer see their own potential or feel they have the right to ask for more.

Other times, it has meant helping women turn years of experience into a new business, a stronger professional presence, a book or an entirely different direction.

For me, these things have always been connected. The way you feel about yourself shapes what you believe is possible next.

My story

About Nicola Salter

Originally from London and now based in California, Nicola Salter is a women’s reinvention strategist, author, speaker, and content and communications consultant. She brings together decades of experience in integrative wellbeing, behavioral health, marketing, and storytelling to help women navigate change and create a next chapter that reflects who they are now.

Nicola’s belief in women’s leadership began early. At six, she watched Queen Elizabeth II hold her own among male dignitaries and saw what it looked like for a woman to command a room. Later, experiencing conflict in Beirut, losing her father at 18, and supporting her blind mother taught her what it takes to rebuild when life changes unexpectedly. Those experiences continue to shape her work with women facing transitions in their health, careers, relationships, and sense of identity.

A neuro change practitioner, HeartMath coach, clinical aromatherapist, and biofield communication energy teacher and practitioner, Nicola has worked in private practice, clinical and behavioral health settings, and corporate wellness. She combines practical tools for resilience and self-care with space to examine limiting beliefs, reconnect with personal values, and decide what comes next.

Nicola speaks and leads workshops for women’s groups and professional audiences, from students and homemakers to veterans, clinicians, creatives, and senior leaders. Her talks bring warmth, wit, and real-world insight to themes of confidence, burnout, reinvention, and redefining success. She is the author of Finding Your Queen and Naturally Yours, host of the Your Unique Brilliance podcast, and has appeared across television, radio, podcasts, conferences, and women’s leadership events.

The work

A career built around people, wellbeing and possibility.

For over two decades and through over 19,000 sessions, I have worked with executives, entrepreneurs, healthcare and behavioral health organizations, treatment centers, corporate teams, young adults and private clients.

Over those years I have learned that people rarely need somebody to tell them who they should become. More often, they need the space and the right questions to see themselves more clearly, recognize what they already bring and decide what they want to do with it. That is the heart of my work.

My own career has evolved many times, from my early professional life in London to building my work in Los Angeles across coaching, integrative wellness and emotional well-being, corporate programs, writing, content, publishing and personal branding.

My wellbeing background helps me understand what happens when someone is overwhelmed, anxious or operating in a constant state of pressure. My coaching work helps me uncover what matters beneath the noise. My writing and communications experience helps people find the words for who they are and what they bring. My business and brand work helps turn those ideas into something practical.

The reason

Why I created reDEFINE YOUrself.

I created reDEFINE YOUrself because I kept meeting accomplished women who had reached a point where their old definition of success no longer quite fitted. They had spent years being responsible, capable and available to everyone else, yet when I asked what they wanted next, many of them had not had the space to think about it properly.

I wanted to create that space, but I also wanted the work to go further than reflection. If you decide you want a different career, business or way of living, I want to help you begin building it. The work is personal, but it is also practical.

Writing and storytelling

Writing, storytelling and Your Unique Brilliance.

I am also an author, speaker, content strategist and host of the Your Unique Brilliance podcast.

I wrote Finding Your Queen: A Woman’s Guide to Living Raw, Flawed & Brilliant around many of the themes that have shaped my work with women, and Naturally Yours grew from my years in integrative wellness.

I have always loved stories because they help us make sense of who we have been and who we are becoming. That is why writing, personal branding and reinvention sit so naturally together for me.

Often, the next chapter is not about becoming a completely different woman. It is about seeing the woman you already are with much more clarity and finally giving yourself permission to decide what she wants.
