About the Founder

Hi, I’m Nicole. I help women create healthy routines and find their tribe through community connection, group coaching, in-person classes, and 1:1 support.

I founded The Well as an outcome of navigating my career and wellness. I was a leader in Tech for over 25 years. I really loved my job, but I found after 10 or so years that my love for helping people was really what I loved. What I mean is that, while navigating the tricky parts about things like performance reviews, and feedback, is that if you take out the “corporate” part of the job and approach them from the angle of helping other people, the job becomes more about helping others identify what they are excited about, what gives them energy, and helping them find fulfillment. The “difficult” conversations then become way more enjoyable for both people in the room, and you end up doing your best work together.

I am really lucky that throughout most of my career to be employed by employee-centric companies, but I did hit a few snags working with unsupportive companies where the focus was more on outputs than the humans in the seats. That’s where my health began to take a dive, and it coincided with early menopause. I didn’t realize this until years later, when working with a coach. In addition, I found myself in situations where my gender was a disadvantage in certain rooms, and as I spoke with other women in my network (and in those companies,) I realized that many women struggle with similar challenges. I found an interesting combination of challenges within myself and with others related to:

• Being a female leader (and a damn good one, as I have been told,)

• Being a working mother, the household breadwinner

• Neurodivergence: ADHD for myself, Autism for my kids and spouse.

• Menopause (brain fog, anxiety, nervous system regulation, inner-tube waist weight out of nowhere, gah…)

As I talked with other women, I realized I’m not alone, but also we have all felt alone with these problems… but WE’RE NOT ALONE! However, we need a space to discuss and discover that’s not in the public eye.

I began circulating the concept of a private women’s-only community and many, many women in my circle immediately said “yes, I’d love, love, love to be in that community, sign me up.”

So, here I am. I left my corporate job in 2025, I’ve been a professionally trained coach since 2018, I started my own coaching practice full time. I jumped ship. And now I’m here building this community from the ground up.

This is my story, as raw as it can be, I’m happy to discuss further.

I’d love for more women to join me and create something incredibly special.

All the best,
Nicole
