Coaching Beyond Limits
Welcome to Beyond the Gate Coaching.
I’m Nikki, a Metacognition & Leadership Development Coach, and my passion is helping individuals break through internal barriers to achieve self-awareness, confidence, and lasting change.
Why I Coach
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel stuck.
Whether it’s navigating leadership, personal growth, neurodivergence, or chronic health challenges. My coaching isn’t about following a script; it’s about meeting you exactly where you are and helping you build strategies that work for you.
my experience & approach
Nearly 20 years of corporate leadership & coaching experience
Over 7,700 coaching hours working with professionals, leaders, and individuals seeking personal transformation
Living with neurodivergence, which gives me a unique insight into coaching approaches that support diverse thinking styles
Managing chronic health conditions (Ankylosing Spondylitis, Endometriosis, POTS) while building resilience and success
The way you think impacts everything—your confidence, your decisions, your ability to grow. My goal is to help you understand your own mind, challenge what’s holding you back, and create lasting change.
My Coaching Philosophy
I integrate neuroscience-backed strategies, trauma-informed coaching, and behavioral psychology to create a coaching experience that is:
Insightful – Helping you uncover blind spots & patterns
Actionable – Focused on real, lasting change
Judgment-Free – A space where you can show up exactly as you are
Growth starts with self-awareness.
I specialize in metacognition-based coaching, which helps you not just understand what you think, but how you think. By recognizing your thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses, you gain control over your mindset, decisions, and personal growth.
