Do you feel out of control—like every emotion sends you straight to the kitchen?
you want to feel at peace with yourself and confident in your ability to make better choices…
Except
You’ve tried diets, intense workout plans, and everything in between—because your health is important to you. But no matter how hard you try, life’s stresses and emotional eating triggers keep pulling you back into habits that don’t serve you.
You’re NOT ALONE!
Most people feel trapped in an endless cycle of stress, emotional eating, dieting, and overtraining because:
They don’t have the tools to build a mindset that supports lasting health changes.
They haven’t learned effective ways to manage stress or handle food cravings.
They don’t have the right support—whether from family, friends, or a coach.
What is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when you turn to food not because you’re physically hungry but because you’re feeling something—stress, boredom, sadness, or even happiness. Sometimes, it’s because you’re looking for food to bring you a moment of comfort or joy.
It’s a way of using food to cope with or distract yourself from your emotions. Instead of addressing what’s really going on, you might find yourself reaching for that bag of chips or tub of ice cream.
Believe me, I’ve been there. And I know firsthand that the “relief” or “comfort” we think food gives us is only temporary—and false.
Each time we turn to food for these reasons, we reinforce the habit—making it even harder to change.
What is INTERMITTENT FASTING?
Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern where you limit your meals to a specific window of time during the day or week. For example, you might choose to fast for 16 hours and eat only during an 8-hour window, or you might fast for a full day on certain days and eat normally on others.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to intermittent fasting. The key is finding a method that works for your lifestyle, experience, and health goals. Each fasting protocol offers unique benefits to help you achieve lasting results.
How can intermittent fasting help with emotional eating?
Intermittent fasting helps by giving you structure around when you eat, reducing the mindless snacking and emotional eating that often happen throughout the day. But beyond just structure, fasting creates mental space—a pause that allows you to notice what’s really going on beneath the craving.
Break the cycle of constantly turning to food for comfort.
Become more aware of your hunger cues and emotional triggers.
Build healthier habits that put you back in control of your eating.
It’s not just about when you eat—it’s about creating space to reset your relationship with food.

Hello, I’m Nicki!
And I know how frustrating and exhausting it can be to feel out of control with food.
For years, I felt stuck in the same cycle, believing that if I just tried harder, I’d be able to stay on track. But no matter how many times I promised myself this time will be different, I kept falling into the same pattern:
Overly restrictive eating ➡️ Followed by a binge ➡️ Followed by guilt & more restriction ➡️ Followed by another binge… you get it.
Fasting had always been my go-to for resetting—better digestion, reduced inflammation, improved sleep. But when I tapped into the mental clarity and emotional balance it provided, I realized pairing it with mindset shifts was where the real power was.
Instead of just using fasting as a way to hit reset, I saw it as an opportunity to step back and observe my impulses without reacting to them.
Over time, I realized fasting wasn’t just about weight loss—it was a way to create space between impulse and action. It helped me pause, reflect, and make more conscious choices around food. I learned that I didn’t have to obey every craving. I was stronger than I had believed.
I’ve dedicated myself to this journey of self-discovery and growth—a path I call my Gold Era—40+, stepping into my power, focusing on what truly matters, and creating a life that excites me. And I want to help women do the same.
Ready to step into your Gold Era and go beyond just crushing weight loss goals to lasting transformation? Send me a message—I’d love to help you get there.

Gold Era Manifesto
I live each day guided by three core values: Vitality, Resilience, and Gratitude.
Vitality represents my commitment to living life with energy and passion, embracing each moment with a sense of curiosity. It’s the spark that fuels my enthusiasm for growth and self-expression, making every day vivid and meaningful.
Resilience embodies both inner and outer strength. It’s my ability to face challenges with confidence, discipline, and perseverance. I honor my physical strength, mental fortitude, and the grounded sense of purpose that keeps me moving steadily toward my goals.
Gratitude anchors me in appreciation for life’s beauty—both in the extraordinary milestones and the subtle, everyday joys. I take time to recognize my own worth, celebrate my wins, nurture my relationships, and savor the journey I’m on.
These pillars are my foundation. They are my compass for creating a rich, purpose-driven life.
The feeling of food freedom is Priceless!
Today I am dedicated to HELPING AS MANY WOMEN AS POSSIBLE to feel and look their best through the power of intermittent fasting.
Practice intermittent fasting for lasting results—without relying on exhausting willpower or stressing over never eating your favorite foods again.

My journey into health and fitness started over 20 years ago when my then-boyfriend introduced me to the gym. While the relationship didn’t last, my love for fitness did! Since then, I’ve done it all—personal training, group fitness coaching, health coaching, and gym management.
Despite looking “in shape,” my relationship with health wasn’t as balanced as it seemed.
I was obsessed with discipline. I tracked every calorie, never missed a workout, and prided myself on having “willpower.” But behind the scenes, I was constantly battling myself. I’d go from extreme restriction to full-blown binges in secret, then punish myself by being even stricter.
I felt like I was either “all in” or completely out of control.
I’d promise myself, This time will be different. But it never was. No matter how much I knew about fitness and nutrition, I couldn’t seem to stop sabotaging myself. And every time I fell off track, I felt weaker, more ashamed, and more hopeless.
I wasn’t struggling with food. I was struggling with control.
Eventually, I knew something had to change. I started studying habit change, mindset work, and the psychology of motivation. I learned that willpower is a limited resource, and that real change comes from understanding why we do what we do, not just forcing ourselves to be “better.”
Fasting became my breakthrough tool. Beyond the physical benefits—like weight loss, more energy, and improved digestion—it also gave me the ability to pause, reset, and observe my patterns without judgment.
I started noticing how fasting created a sense of calm—a mental clarity and emotional space I had never fully appreciated before. It wasn’t just about what I was eating (or not eating); it was about what I was noticing within myself during the process. This shift in focus led me to see fasting as more than just a quick reset—it became a daily practice that gave me the space to reflect, reset, and make conscious choices about my habits and emotions.
That’s when everything changed. I stopped relying on willpower and started relying on self-awareness.
This realization led me to become a coach. I got certified in Functional Nutrition Health Coaching, Cognitive Behavioral Coaching (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Coaching (REBT), and Goal Success Coaching to help other women stop battling themselves and start creating real, lasting change.
I’m still on my own self-development journey (there is no destination), and I’ve learned that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. Challenges will always come, but with the right mindset and tools, we can navigate them with confidence.
Let me show you how.
