About Kathy

What I bring to coaching is joy, a love of life and great love for all beings. It is important to me to create an environment that is safe and open. The work done during coaching is not always easy or comfortable – the things that are most important to us often are attached to our greatest fears. So having a place that is safe and spacious is important. I also bring clarity, insight and intuition to our meetings.

I am a PCC (Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaches Federation) with 30 years experience as a Registered Dietitian and manager. My meditation practice allows me to create a spacious container for clients. My extensive leadership experience enables me to understand more quickly the intricate dynamics of relationships, whether they are with people, food or our habits.

 

Kathy Nichols, RD, PCC

During my own career transition, I spent several years knowing that something else was calling to me but not knowing what it was. I found hundreds of reasons why the work I was doing was just right for me. But the voice persisted. Eventually I resigned my management position as a way to create space in my life for what was waiting to be born. The answer turned out to be Life Coaching. This is work that calls me to step into the unknown every day, to dance with whatever arises, and to trust my intuition and instinct. It also allows me to connect deeply with people and to listen carefully, and to discover how magnificent each being truly is. I also love nutrition; it is a vibrant field and our understanding of how the human body works gets better every day. We have to eat, so why not eat well? Life coaching and nutrition turn out to be a wonderful combination.

   
I live in Healdsburg, which is part of the Sonoma County wine country in Northern California. I love to cook, garden, hike and spend time with my husband and cats. I have enjoyed the luxury of travel - my favorite trips have been treks in the Andes and the Himalayas. I also especially enjoyed the beautiful temples in Turkey and the way that their religion was integrated into their daily life.
