Success Stories

Real women. Real turning points. Real next chapters.

I never want success stories to feel like polished before-and-after stories. Reinvention is rarely that tidy. These are examples of what can happen when a woman has the space to think clearly, reconnect with her value and begin making decisions from a place that feels more like her.

Clients on working with Nicola.

Nicola’s ability to nurture self-discovery and actionable steps towards meaningful growth is incomparable to any other method I’ve known. In an age where it’s easy to lose sight of our greater purpose and intention for our life’s work, Nicola serves as both anchor and guiding light in helping discover our ‘Unique Brilliance’. I’m truly grateful for her wisdom and expertise, and inspired to introduce her unique approach to countless peers and fellow-Founders/CEO’s who are certainly overdue for their own great awakening!

Chase Friedman · CEO, Vanquish Media

Right now I am doing the (re)Define Yourself program and I have no words. Wow! In such a short time Nicola has made my life purpose so clear. I’m excited to live my life… she has helped me to realize my worth and find the courage to be true to myself …

D. Chung

There are two types of teachers. One who will stand in front of you with a huge flashlight to lead you down the path. The other will stand behind you with a flashlight to light your path. This is the teacher you want. As a student of your class, I realized I have always known where I need to go, but sometimes, I need someone to hold the light if I should lose my way. Thank you Nicola.

S. Ibrao

I worked with Nicola because of her breadth of experience between personal and business growth. I was looking for guidance that was unique, directional and transparent. I valued her ability to support me with blocks and help me release them to accomplish my goals. I appreciated her blunt, candid and honest approach with my career and relationships. Nicola combines an unusual ability to subtly combine personal insights that are getting in the way of accomplishing business goals and helping you scale and expand your business.

L. Knaz · Self-Leadership Mentor, LeeKnaz.com

I was unsure about my present and future… thank you for helping me open my eyes to who I was, who I am and who I can be.

E. Chapel

Before working with Nicola I was feeling lost, confused, and unworthy. After her program I feel completely grounded, confident and able to focus on what is important for me as well as my business. She helped me get clear on my audience and how to attract them with the right messaging. Nicola has helped me identify limiting beliefs to release and replace. Now II can clearly define my purpose and focus on what is important. I dare myself on the daily, to live the life that I want.

Working with Nicola helped me reconnect to my confidence, clarity, and value in a way I hadn’t felt in years. I stopped over-functioning, started making decisions from a place of calm instead of pressure, and finally created a direction that felt aligned with who I am now. Within three months of working together, I had doubled my income and stepped into opportunities I honestly hadn’t believed were possible for me.

Starting points

Different women. Different starting points.

Some clients come because their career has stalled. Others are recovering from burnout, rebuilding after a difficult workplace, creating a consultancy, returning to work, building a professional presence or questioning a life that looks successful on paper but no longer feels quite right.

What matters is not that every woman follows the same path. It is that she becomes clearer about her own.

From Experience to Positioning

Helping senior professionals see the value in what they have already done and communicate it more clearly for roles, consulting and leadership opportunities.

From Pressure to Choice

Helping women move out of constant reaction, rebuild confidence and begin making decisions from a calmer, more grounded place.

From Idea to Direction

Turning years of expertise into a clearer business, offer, brand or professional next step.

From Invisible to Seen

Creating LinkedIn positioning, messaging and visibility that helps the right people understand what a client brings.

reDEFINE YOUrself

In their own words.

After taking the Redefine Program, I feel like a new person! I feel so much stronger and confident about my abilities, my knowledge, and my purpose and calling.  I have a renewed appreciation for my gifts.   I was able to release inner barriers that I didn’t know I had. I’m able to express myself confidently. Not only did I gain the necessary knowledge about the business side, but also many practical tools for daily self-care, wellness & releasing blocks. I HIGHLY  recommend working with Nicola!

P. Wright · Paulawright.com

Nicola’s wisdom, guidance, and empathetic approach to the (re)Define Yourself program empowered me to navigate my professional aspirations with newfound clarity and purpose. Her personalized guidance helped me gain the confidence to start my business and build a visible path forward. Her unique style goes beyond traditional coaching by integrating mindfulness principles with practical tools that nurture personal and professional growth. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicola as a mentor to anyone seeking a deeper career purpose that aligns with their passions and values.

E. Rodnunsky · Emilyrodnunsky.com

Nicola understood me from day 1. I was blown away at how it felt like she had known me for years. I couldn’t be fake with her, she saw right through me. This is something that not every coach has. She definitely has this 6th sense. If you are looking to create a business that reflects you, that reflects your dreams, that is full of purpose and heart, this program is for you. Working with Nicola will really get your plane off the runway, get it up off the ground and flying, heading to the destination of your dreams.

M. Phelps · Client

Nicola works wonders and I cannot thank her enough for developing this program.

What changed for them.

Nicola introduced her (re)Define Yourself program to our Board of Directors. We decided that the neurolinguistic and holistic tools she was using would be appropriate for helping both the vets and their wives, as she said, to deprogram old belief patterns and pain and reprogram new neural pathways in the brain to eliminate flashbacks from war, but also to reconnect to forgotten parts of themselves to help them move forward with new careers and a direction in life. We are witnessing some profound changes and are happy with the results.

Brian Hillard · Executive Director & Lead Facilitator of Crusades 22

I feel so much better and lighter on my feet. Thank you so much for helping me change my life, I am eternally grateful to you.

J. Ashwouri

Working with you was the best gift I ever gave myself! Thank you dearly for shining your bright light so that I could liberate myself from all that was holding me back and feeling stuck and emotionally overwhelmed..

R. Schuelke

I cannot stop thinking about my incredible ride with you. I am so grateful to have you in my life – I am forever changed and it’s freakin’ incredible.

Franky

I feel 100% better about pursuing this dream. I feel much clearer and more excited to go forward than I ever had prior to my work with Nicola. She walked me through the steps to make this a reality and helped with my confidence level so that I was no longer “stuck.”

D.P.

Before Nicola’s program I was feeling insecure around my work and who I was, I committed to carving out time with Nicola and soon realized that a lot of my insecurities started in childhood trying to prove myself and that had spilled into my work.

We are an experiential, creative, production broadcast and logistics organization supporting leading organizations launch brands that will ultimately spark new choices in consumers that will change their behaviors and create new ripple effects for brands worldwide. I chose to take Nicola’s (re)Define Yourself experience to stay connected with my personal direction and focus so I can share this with my staff and bring our business to a whole new level of operation, profitability, fulfillment and success. I like the tools she uses to spark within me new perspectives and an expanded view of my business and its impact, relevance and importance to support others.

… Nicola has an energy that opens the mind and a magnetic quality that pulls peoples’ attention in. Not only have I learned an incredible new technique that is working for me but after this class I feel revived and recharged…Pure magic!

I’ve worked with tons of coaches and healers over the years, and this work was the deepest, most lasting transformation and energetic upgrade I’ve ever experienced.

Jamie Jensen

Nicola’s program has been life changing… she’s the best kind of leader. My mindset has been forever altered by the effectiveness of her work.I highly recommend this program for anyone who’s passionate but is stuck on the foundational work.

M. Linder

Through Nicola’s (re)Define Yourself program, we worked together on developing a legacy project that was based on my true purpose in life. By looking at childhood experiences, identifying what was important to me, and recognizing my true gifts, we created something that resonated with my heart song and I am truly excited to grow this project. And Nicola didn’t just identify the goal, but had tangible business advice on how to get there.

Where they are now.

Nicola empowered me to reconnect with myself and embrace the value of the message I wanted to deliver through public speaking for The One Tribe in Miami. She guided me in shaping my message around my core values and the community I sought to serve and helping me break free from limiting beliefs and tap into my leadership abilities on a deeper level.

Emilie Fritz Veloso is an inspirational business leader who harnesses her experience as a super mom, serial entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for womens’ wellness to create communities centered on connection and empowerment. As a co-founder of successful ventures like ONE coconut water, later acquired by PepsiCo, and as the Founder and CEO of One Tribe, a pre -and post -natal wellness and education center, Emilie continues to foster powerful connections among women on their motherhood journey.

Nicola changed my life. The number one thing I’ve taken away is I see myself. I hear myself. I trust myself. That was something that wasn’t happening before.

The reason I am so passionate about helping my clients is that a number of years ago and just up to recently, I had lost sight of me.

It had happened over time with children and life, until one day at a coaching event someone asked me about what I liked, and I didn’t know. I had my hair salon but didn’t feel as connected with my business as I should. I didn’t even know who I was, and then began the journey of finding myself again. I turned it around, sharpened my confidence, found a new side of me and this has ignited now through my salon.

I see many women in my chair who forget themselves, become disconnected from their life, feel miserable and lose sight of their dreams and purpose, too busy , too overwhelmed.

I finally feel really ready to take my business to the next level. I had never really got much from coaching until now. I always wanted to be told what to do but now I can find the leadership on my own and make the choices that I need to thanks to Nicola’s work.

For 15+ years, Nicola hass helped me through every major life crisis as well as just dealing with the day-to-day.

Alyshia Ochse, actress, host of That One Audition

The past three months with you, Nicola have been life-changing. When I started, I knew I wanted to grow, but I didn’t know how to fully step into my potential as a coach. You not only helped me rebrand from a Healing Relationship Coach to a Self-Discovery Coach, but also gave me the tools, confidence, and strategies to share my voice and my message in bigger ways.

You have guided me through creating new programs, workshops, and marketing strategies, and were there every step of the way helping me see my strengths, move past limiting beliefs, and own my role as a speaker and women’s advocate.

I now feel clear, confident, and excited for the future of my coaching business. I’m so grateful for your support & your guidance week after week, and would highly highly recommend you to anyone ready to redefine themselves and expand their potential.

I’ve seen a lot of changes since Nicola’s program; improved empowerment self-confidence…and my self-doubt has become much quieter.

Sheli Dodaro Hernandez on working with Nicola Salter

I have a path, a clear plan, I feel like I am rewiring my brain, and I feel empowered. I’d tell everybody to work with you.

After working with Nicola I feel I can empower my community to be smart, visionary, evolve and make an impact by offering a franchise model that helps women feel beautiful without the side effects of toxic chemicals and feel part of an evolution the creates impact and change.

I am now excited to get my franchise licensed and maintain the coaching work I do – investing and creating products, get my salon to 30% profit, increase my prices to reflect the quality of my work and products I use.

Before the Redefine Yourself Program I felt like I was continuously needing to prove something, I didn’t know what I was doing, and couldn’t do it alone. I wanted to feel more connection to my business and my services.

After the program with Nicola I felt more deeply connected to who I really am, what my inner emotional barriers were and how they were impacting the success of my business. I felt more calm and understood more clearly that the choices I had been making for my business were coming from a reactive place, from previous emotional wounds that were holding me back. Since working with these, I have been able to make a change in my personal life and also the way in which I run my business.

Sheli Dodaro Hernandez, owner, Clean Beauty Boutique

2 months ago, I knew I wanted to start my own business and had a general idea of what I wanted to do but that was about it. I felt like there was no way, I’d carve out a plan and get it into motion in just that short amount of time.

I had my last session with Nicola yesterday and not only did she help me dial in on EXACTLY what I want to be doing (and there were several things that showed up, surprisingly, during our work together that I wasn’t expecting) but we also laid out a timeline, action steps, and a polished structure of what my business will look like. It happened so naturally, it’s already begun, my business took off before we were finished. If all you have is the what, Nicola can provide the who, where when and how! And HOW!

I went from being stuck in fear – to fear of not getting started soon enough; from feeling lost to feeling inspired! I’m literally transformed in just our 12 weeks together and excited to have learned a thing or two about myself as well! I only had a vague idea and Nicola not only broadened my horizons, based on my own unique passions and talents but also helped to set me into motion with logical steps and practices.

Krystal Alyce, Owner, KrystalAlyce.com

Nicola has given me the tools and direction I need to get my business going. Using her special tools to dissect what my true values and qualities are, Nicola helped me focus and open up to where I would naturally thrive. Thank you Nicola for giving me direction and the tools I need to run my business with natural flow that is specific to me.

What I find to be most exciting about Nicola’s program is that she provides you with your own personalized social media and website content that can be used to elevate your branding and production. Your business will become more focused on what is specific and organic to you and your promotion materials will reflect how you work with clients.

Ghostwriting & Legacy Stories

Writing a book together.

When I began working with Nicola, I had a collection of stories but no clear framework to bring them together. She helped me distill my experiences into a message that speaks not only to my own journey, but also to the broader choices women make today. In shaping this book, Nicola showed me how to reframe my decision not to have children as a path of purpose, creativity, and contribution. The process gave me clarity, confidence, and a narrative that inspires other women to see that fulfillment doesn’t have one definition. This book is more than my story, I see it as an invitation for women to embrace their own path with strength and possibility.

Client stories

How the change happened.

Patricia Cerniuk on working with Nicola Salter

Patricia Cerniuk

I set up a private coaching call—it was incredible. I love the power of a good coach. So many breakthroughs.

Nicola helped Patricia C identify her self-sabotage and reactivity that was holding her back from growing her business, finding fulfillment in her personal life and balance with powerful breakthrough methods that pinpointed the when and the why she had begun to tell herself negative stories and believe in them.

Patricia had gone from being a struggling hair stylist to a salon owner in a relatively short time and she was always working and over achieving.Once she understood her inner barriers, and emotional wounds from the past of not feeling good enough, she began to recognize she had the potential to expand her business. Nicola helped her to identify and build out a program to help other salon owners shift their mindset to attract more income and streamline their business, along with expanding and up-selling her extensions online program to those salon owners. Her goal was to have a 7 figure business and generate 90 k a month.

Patricia Cerniuk, owner, Opulent Beauty

Renee Young

I want to thank you Nicola. I think you really helped me a lot… in a way that has put me on a really different path in life. So I want to thank you for that.

Nicola helped Renee Y who is the co CEO of Quigley-Simpson advertising agency, overcome her anxiety and overwhelm after the Las Vegas shooting within a 6 month period, leading Renee to redefine her life values and priorities, and enabling her to go out once more into large gatherings without fear. In addition, she was able to redesign her life from reactive, overwhelm and stress to build more time for herself, her horses and develop more resilience, fulfillment and purpose to support her community.

Renee Young, co-chairman, Quigley-Simpson

Julie Solomon

Nicola helped Julie S. take her blog and brand to the next level and believe that her voice mattered, to know herself, her purpose and identified with her that she could help women build their own businesses and brands to monetize. Within 12 weeks Julie had broken through her overriding fear pattern that her goal was too big and unattainable, and that she was worthy to generate the income she desired and we created a step by step specific direction for her to grow her brand of blogging, influence and publicity. From this place Julie has become one of the most recognized influencers of her time with her own podcast that has 10 plus million downloads, and thousands of episodes, has been a speaker on some of the largest branding and business development industries, and launched her now million dollar Influencer Academy, and helped thousands of women brand and expand their businesses.

Eugenia Kuzmina

Nicola helped Eugenia breakthrough of being repressed as a top model with many challenging and abusive challenges she had to endure to being able to set boundaries and no longer enduring bullying or manipulation. She discovered with Nicola’s coaching that bringing balance and equality for women was her purpose and her role as a super model to support diversity through art breaking boundaries and limitations. Nicola helped Eugenia discover and express her voice and truth, trust her voice, own her value, represents diversity, and advocate for young women as well as work with creative directors to break boundaries and limitations, and stereotypes.

Eugenia was able to connect with inspiring others to create the life they want. Speak up, own your worth, courage to find yourself and find freedom – let go of the chains of low self-esteem and self-doubt and be ok with your rawness and vulnerability through her film roles and book. Be the warrior and believe in yourself.

Nikki Goyle

Nikki G.

Nicola helped Nikki G get clear on a number of choices she presented at the beginning of her coaching and was unsure of her next steps. She had experienced inflammatory health issues and had been using different style of meal prep and ingredients to calm her symptoms. She had numerous self-sabotaging belief patterns based on family experiences and self-doubt about her ability to begin something new and follow a more fulfilling path. Nicola worked with her to breakthrough some of her inner emotional barriers first before beginning coaching and was able to help Nikki over 12 weeks understand and begin to retrain her mindset into a new pattern of belief, along with coaching that identified one priority smart goal for her to work on.

The Sanitas Group was born where Nikki got very clear that her purpose was to provide health and wellness coaching to help people discover a life of happiness, freedom and optimal health.

Nicola helped her work on designing her anti-inflammatory optimal health programs with her Dr husband for people to begin living a pain free, healthier life with more energy. Nicola helped her package, price and create the direction and get clear on the clients she wanted to attract and the value she provided. She has since launched the Pain Perspective Podcast and her coaching and online services.

Taline Galstian

Taline Galstain had just stepped back into real estate and wanted to define her niche. She wanted to sell million dollar homes. We defined her purpose, values and intention behind her work and then connected to what was holding her back, her inner barriers to break through. She identified family values, listening to hear, being a connector in her community and building trust, plus her love of providing boutique services with a tailored style to help buyers find homes that hadn’t been listed yet.

Nicola was able to help Taline focus on what was important to her business, be realistic, build a strong foundation and then elevate to $15m of total real estate sales in three years (during the pandemic).
