"One of the biggest breakthroughs was learning to work through difficult conversations rather than avoiding them - this shift has been truly transformative.

Now, I feel much more in tune with my own feelings about the partnership, I listen to them more, and as a result, I feel more fulfilled and intentional in how we work together.

Nicki’s coaching style was exactly what we needed - she knew when to step back and let things play out while also offering thoughtful guidance, support, and moments for reflection.
This was an incredibly important investment in our partnership - one that has benefited both our business and me personally. I wholeheartedly recommend the process and Nicki’s coaching, and I have no doubt that I’ll work with her again."
Frances Cottrell-Duffield, Co-Founder of Tonic Studio
“Nicki has been instrumental in the significant growth that my company has enjoyed. The impact on my company and in fact my life has been huge.

Nicki has given me confidence and belief in my role and as a result she has made me a better mentor and leader. She has also empowered me to really enjoy my success at growing the company and has given me the tools to keep growing and building on this success.
Our company and team are now thriving and this is in no small part due to the exceptional coaching that Nicki provides to me, to my senior leaders and to my whole team.
I cannot recommend Nicki highly enough and your business and you as a leader will be in safe hands.”
Julia Linehan, CEO, The Digital Voice
“I worked with Nicki during the very early days of building my venture, and it was one of the best decisions I made.

Nicki’s expertise as a coach and her empathy proved invaluable at a critical stage of development. She had a tremendous ability to ask the right questions and offer actionable strategies, keeping us accountable at every stage of the process.
For any entrepreneur, especially those in the formative stages of building something meaningful, I cannot recommend working with Nicki enough.”
Leonardo Zussner, Zinc cohort Co-Founder
“Nicki is an exceptional coach who transformed a challenging founder exit into a positive journey.

What felt like the end of the world on our first meeting, turned into a very strong and empowered deal by the last one.
Her rare ability to illuminate blind spots and connect them to actionable steps is truly invaluable.
She helped me navigate complex feelings, build up a confident negotiation position, and provided invaluable emotional support while maintaining focus on root causes. She is also an absolute delight as a person!”
Olena Bulygina, exited agency Co-Founder

A BIT ABOUT ME…

I’m a business coach and branding expert. I’ve run a coaching practice for 4 1/2 years and set up brand agency, LUNA + LION, 4 years ago with my Co-Founder, Scarlett.

It’s important to me to be a business coach who runs another business so I have ongoing experience and awareness outside of the coaching industry. With LUNA + LION I’m out there pitching, tracking budgets, project managing, recruiting and juggling every other hat you wear as a Founder.

I decided to focus on coaching business partners because it’s what I’ve needed as a Co-Founder. A coach who really understands what it’s like to be part of such a special but complex partnership. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, so I decided to create it.
