MEET NINETTE

Like you, I’ve navigated my share of challenges, changes, and decisions.

Let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you ...

For much of my life, I tried to tough it out and figure things out on my own

not realizing the toll it was taking on me.

There were times I was unsure of what I wanted so I went with what looked good on paper, or seemed like the "smart" choice. But pushing toward something that wasn’t right for me felt like trying to push a boulder uphill.

Other times, I’ve been clear about what I wanted and committed years to getting there.

But, relentlessly pursuing achievement, at the expense of other aspects of my life, left me wondering, “Why do I feel so empty and dissatisfied despite achieving what I set out to do?”

And, I’ve been in situations that were not in my best interest or conflicted with my values, leaving me depleted and filled with angst.


Admitting any of this to myself and changing directions didn’t come easily.

What changed for me?

Discovering I didn’t have to do it alone

With a coach by my side, I found an ally and a space to step back, sort through what mattered, and take the actions that work for me.

And today, I’m here to be your coach.
In your corner, supporting your success.

Are you ready for coaching that helps you build confidence, clarity, and the capacity to lead your life—your way?

My approach is grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique values, strengths, and passions, and is supported by years of training in:

Positive psychology, behavioral science, and promoting well-being


Mindful communication, performance, and mental fitness


Stress and energy management,
and resilience building

My experience as a consultant, academic and entrepreneur provides an even broader
perspective and deeper insight to help you navigate what's next.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT

My coaching comes with heart, honesty, and a little bit of humor

Each time we meet, I invite you to show up exactly as you are.

Every coaching session is shaped by your goals. Whatever the moment calls for, you’ll have a reliable space to pause, gain clarity, and take action — at your own pace and your own terms, with my ongoing support, encouragement, and practical tools. 

I’m here to help you dig beneath the surface, find insight, and uncover possibilities. And, to shine a light on your strengths, and witness and reflect what brings you to life.

Ninette helped me to gently move forward towards my new journey in life.

“She is a coach whose presence brings to mind a place of sanctuary. Her clear attention, calm demeanor, reassuring words, and insightful questions, all wrap around in a way that provides safety and an opportunity to access what is at the core. Ninette‘s presence and coaching style is a gift to others.”

On a personal note…

Coaching isn’t just what I do. It’s the result of what I’ve lived, studied, and practiced.

Clients describe me as:

  • a welcoming, kind presence

  • curious, insightful and intuitive

  • someone who sees and hears them

  • someone who believes in and celebrates with them

What I care about:

  • making a positive, meaningful difference in life

  • freedom to live our unique lives, not those prescribed to us

  • promoting self-awareness, compassion and confidence

  • pursuing greater purpose, fulfillment, and overall well-being

A few of my favorite things:

  • my husband and my dog

  • animals and undisturbed nature

  • humor and creativity

  • deep conversations and connections

It’s time to stop running on empty and start building a life that energizes you.
