About Me
Hi, I'm Nichelle. Award winning certified strength, nutrition and mindset coach. I'm named after the real-life actor who first portrayed the iconic Captain Uhura on the one-of-a-kind TV drama Star Trek.
My mission is to help dynamic professionals who want strength, vitality, and longevity. I am creator of the Smart Strength Method (TM) a system that helps people do just that.
Because let's face it -- what worked for us in the gym and the kitchen in our 20s may not be optimal for us in midlife.
II know something about pursuing a new playbook for a new season. I moved to Oakland amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, trusting my gut and following my heart to relocate from NYC for love.
That love was transformational, allowing me to experience one of the greatest loves of all -- love for every aspect of my aging but still vibrant and and capable midlife body.
I have worn many professional hats including attorney, associate dean at an institution of higher education, and minister. But my passion for wellness was undeniable, and it propelled me on this 20+ year journey in coaching.
My client roster includes both in-person and virtual clients in the Bay Area and n major cities around the world..
I am also a group fitness instructor and corporate wellness architect for Bay Area and New York City values-driven organizations.
