Build a life where you are supported, not just relied upon

Your needs are a priority, not something you have to earn

I Matter is a private 8-month mentorship for female leaders who are ready to stop overriding their needs, feel safe to express themselves, and receive support in their life and relationships.

Why so many women like you struggle to ask for what you need

Most female leaders fall into one or all three camps:

01
Your needs constantly

fall to the
bottom of the pile

02
You feel guilt

or shame when
you say no

03
You hold everything

together to avoid things falling apart

What all three camps have in common: you can’t create meaningful impact while abandoning and exhausting yourself

If you’ve been stuck in patterns of self-sacrifice, it’s not because you lack awareness, it’s because your nervous system has learned that being needed feels safer than being fully authentic.

This isn’t just a mindset shift,‍ ‍
it’s a nervous system pattern.


I Matter is a private 8-month mentorship for female leaders that retrains how your body responds in moments where you would normally override your needs. Learn how to finally set boundaries without guilt, say what you need and feel supported in your life and relationships.

  • "I am so grateful to you Nicole for what you do, every woman should experience this type of work."

    - Beata, HR Director

  • “Working with Nicole has been a game changer for me, after a whole lifetime I am slowly starting to feel like I’m on my own team”

    -- Ellie, Behavioural Scientist

  • "I realised my needs matter, and became my number one priority, and my life has changed forever"

    - Nicole, Mycologist

  • "The mind is not even half as overpowering as it used to be. I am feeling so happy to feel the tangibility, that this experience of self-worth is something that is possible, and I am now living"

    — Elena, Creative Director

  • "One of the biggest changes is that I say no more often, and I do it without feeling guilty."

    — Sofia, Director of Ecology

  • "I feel very liberated, it's like meeting myself in a new way. I am proud of it, grounded in it, calm in it and I can make my own choices regardless of the choices or others' expectations of me. "

    — Solomiya, Head of Product

  • "I used to believe I could only rely on myself and believed I’d be all alone if everything were to fall apart. Now I am more trusting, and able to make clear requests and lean on others"

    -- Alexandria, Stylist

  • "I'm finding my own way and speaking more kindly, supportively, and lovingly. A new voice has been created that fights back the historically was unkind and aggresive"

    - Sofia, Regenerative Consultant

  • "I feel grateful to have access to a different language. The language of the body, its subtlety. I feel I am heard, but by myself, and that I can hold myself when I need to be held."

    - Dana, Nutritionist

  • “I learnt that I matter. That I have a place in the world and a voice. It feels new to me - I feel a bit bold saying that, but I don’t care anymore. This is who I am, and I won’t apologise for it.”

    Jenna, Director of Events


You’re also at risk of getting stuck in cycles like this

As a generous female leader, you’re at high risk of burnout

Of course you want a life that allows you to live life on your own terms, where you are able to ask for what you need

But, you’re the one everyone depends on, the one who holds it all together, while underneath, you feel the quiet exhaustion of never being held in the same way.


You often feel that something isn’t working in how much you’re carrying… but when it comes to naming what you need or asking for it, you hesitate, second-guess, or choose to avoid ‘rocking the boat’.


You’re deeply attuned to others, their needs, and emotions, but feel increasingly disconnected from your own instincts, desires, and inner clarity, often left confused around what will really serve you.


You take on more than is yours because you don’t trust that it will be tended to without you, even when part of you knows it’s unsustainable and it would be better to delegate responsibilities.


Your incredibly self-aware, but when it matters most, your body still pulls you back into over-functioning, over-giving, and overriding yourself and you end up frustrated.


You should be able to create meaningful impact without abandoning yourself

An intimate high-touch journey from
self-sacrifice to self-sovereignty

Inside the ‘I Matter’
Mentorship you learn how to:

Through using Somatic Experiencing® Therapy and Authentic Relating tools, you’ll access the exact frameworks and integrative methods you need to regulate your nervous system, build unshakeable self-trust, and create a life that finally reflect your true value.

  • You become the woman who feels calm, clear, and anchored in herself, no matter what’s happening around her.

    You no longer need everything to be perfect to feel okay, because you trust your ability to come back to yourself. Inside I Matter, you stop looking outside yourself for clarity, and learn to read and regulate your nervous system in real time, with direct support.

    In our sessions we focus on:

    • Identifying your unique nervous system patterns through in-session work

    • Building a personalised regulation toolkit you can rely on daily

    You’ll be able to:

    • Understand what you’re feeling and respond instead of react

    • Move through emotional intensity without spiralling

    • Return to a grounded, steady state quickly

    • Create a new baseline of safety in your body


    This is where you start trusting yourself by really listening.

  • You stop questioning yourself, and start honouring what you actually want.

    You become a woman who knows her needs are valid and expects to be met. Inside I Matter, you will stop abandoning yourself to be chosen and reconnect with what you truly desire, feeling safe to own it

    Together, we:

    • Uncover your real needs beneath your conditioning and patterns

    • Explore where you’ve been self-sacrificing yourself

    • Build safety around wanting more

    You’ll be able to:

    • Learn to recognise what your needs and desires are

    • Trust your needs without questioning them

    • Learn to honour what feels right,

    This is where you embody deep self-trust, and are met accordingly.

  • You become the woman who can stay open, even in the moments that used to de-stabilise you. Instead of reacting, avoiding, or over-giving, inside I Matter you learn to stay present and connected through intensity, to yourself and others. Able to create space for uncomfortable conversations.

    In our work together, we:

    • Break down your triggers

    • Practice staying open through activation

    • Real-time conversation support

    • Conflict template scripts

    You will develop the ability to

    • Stay grounded during conflict

    • Express what’s real for you

    • Cultivate deeper intimacy with others

    This is where you stop abandoning yourself in relationships, and invite in more secure dynamics that are mutually respectful.

  • Your worth is not something you earn. It’s something you embody.

    Inside I Matter, your value becomes non-negotiable. You feel empowered and worthy without feeling the need to change who you are. 


    Together, we:

    • Rewire the patterns that condition your worth

    • Build self-trust through aligned action

    • Strengthen your internal sense of value

    You begin to:

    • Feel secure in who you are

    • Make decisions from self-respect, not people-pleasing tendencies

    • Stop tolerating less than you deserve

    You become calm, clear, and self-led.

  • Inside I Matter you become the woman who knows her standards, and lives by them.  Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away, they’re a form of self-care knowing where you end and another person begins. 

    In this phase, we:

    • Clarify what you’re no longer available for

    • Practice boundary-setting in your real-life situations

    • Work through guilt, fear, and pushback together

    You develop the ability to:

    • Say no without guilt

    • Express boundaries with calm clarity

    • Learn to let go of relational weight that doesn’t meet you in reciprocity

    • Maintain relationships rooted in respect

    You don’t just know your worth, you become the embodiment of it.

  • You become the woman who is clear, expressed, and deeply met.

    Inside I Matter, you learn to stop abandoning your voice, saying what you want or your nervous system impulses.

    You communicate your desires, lovingly and firmly in a way that creates new roles for people in your life. Welcoming support, as a way to elevate and expand your power, that you can lean on.

    Together, we:

    • Refine how you communicate your needs

    • Practice real conversations you’re navigating

    • Build confidence in being seen and heard

    You begin to:

    • Make requests clearly and confidently

    • Feel safe being seen in your needs

    • Trust in the support that is offered to you

    • Experience more consistency and reliability

    This is where you stop making assumptions, and start being met.

  • You no longer live your life in reaction to everyone else’s needs. You become the woman who builds her life around what matters to her.

    Inside I Matter, you will restructure your time, energy, and decisions around your true priorities that are informed by the energy capacity you have on hand. You become discerning with how you use your time and come back to yourself.

    In this phase, we:

    • Align your time, energy, and decisions with your priorities

    • Identify where you’re still overextending

    • Build a way of life that supports you, and reflects who your becoming

    You develop the ability to:

    • Stop overcommitting and overpromising

    • Make aligned decisions centred in your NS capacity

    • Create a life that feels spacious and fulfilling not exhausting

    This is where you move from living by default… to living by intentional design.

Eleanor, Behavioural Analyst
Somatic Experiencing Client

“Sounds a little over the top, but it was a truly life changing practice.”

Beata, Head of HR
'I Matter’ Client

“I now speak up, have boundaries, and say no.
It comes far more easily to me now.”

Sofia, Head of Regeneration
’I Matter’ Client

“I now feel fully backed up by myself, I feel very empowered.”

I’ve been there,
its exhausting…

I’m Nicole, founder of Trust Your Nature.

I’m an IFS-informed, Somatic Experiencing® Therapist and Authentic Relating facilitator.

My whole life has been focused on purpose, whether working with social impact companies like United Nations or on my own business Primal Gathering. I have always been surrounded by visionary people, big ideas, and a shared desire to create a better world.

On the outside, it looked meaningful. Aligned. Impactful.

But inside… I was completely depleted. Giving more than I had to offer. Holding space, supporting others, showing up again and again…but not being met in the same way.

I was exhausted and miserable.

I used to feel powerless
until I learnt to listen to
my nervous system

I had no real sense of safety in my body.

No clear connection to my own needs.
No ability to say no without guilt or second-guessing myself. So I overextended and eventually burned out.

Like so many big-hearted, high-capacity women leading, holding, and giving so much,

I was creating impact in the world, while quietly abandoning myself in the process.

But when I began to understand my nervous system. To feel what safety actually feels like in my body. I stopped leading from obligation and started leading from self-trust.

Now, I support visionary women like you, do the same. To transform patterns of self-sacrifice at the root, and step into grounded, embodied self-sovereignty.

So your leadership no longer comes at the cost of yourself, because you matter.

You are exactly the female leader I had in
mind when I created
I Matter If…

You feel like you’re doing the work… you’re self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and committed to your growth, but in the moments that actually matter, you still find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or losing your centre. You want to feel calm, clear, and anchored in yourself, not just sometimes, but consistently. You’re ready to trust yourself fully, you just don’t know how to hold onto that in real time.


You feel like you give a lot in your work and personal relationships… you’re thoughtful, present, and deeply invested, but you’re not always being met in the way you truly want. You notice yourself over-accommodating, over-explaining, or subtly abandoning your needs to maintain connection. You want to feel met, supported, and chosen, without having to work so hard for it.


You don’t always feel fully connected to what you want… you can sense something’s off, or missing, but it’s not always clear what your needs actually are. And when something does come through, it’s easy to question it, soften it, or let it pass. You want to learn how to tune into yourself deeply, recognise what’s true for you, and from that place, say what you want clearly, hold your ground, and stay connected, without guilt, overthinking, or losing yourself.


You know, logically, that you’re a good woman… thoughtful, self-aware, someone who shows up. But when it comes to what you actually receive, love, support, consistency, there’s still a gap. You notice yourself tolerating less than you desire, questioning your standards, or needing reassurance to feel secure. You want to feel solid in your worth, make decisions from self-respect, and be the woman who knows her value and no longer negotiates on it.


You feel like you’re holding a lot, your life, your work, your relationships, and while from the outside it looks like you’re doing well, there’s a part of you that feels stretched, slightly disconnected, or not fully in your power. You want to feel self-led, spacious, and deeply aligned, like your life and relationships actually reflect who you are now.

High-achieving leaders
need to feel supported too

Because freedom is having a life that doesn't require you to self-sacrifice just to keep everything working

Join I Matter to stop overriding your needs in the moments that matter and feel more supported in your life and relationships.

This is where you
return to yourself

This space was created for you, the woman who holds everything together. The one who catalyses things into action, gives, creates, and shows up for others… often at the cost of yourself.

You’re incredibly thoughtful and deeply committed to making a difference in the world. And yet, somewhere along the way, you learned to override your own needs, to soften your voice and habitually carry more than is yours to do so because you have a generous heart.

The I Matter programme is an invitation to return to yourself. Here, you don’t have to prove your worth.

You get to remember it, and from that place, everything begins to change.

Ellie

“Working with Nicole has been a game changer for me,  after a whole lifetime I  am slowly starting to feel like I’m on my own team”

Sofia

“One of the biggest changes is that I say no more often, and I do it without feeling guilty.”

Beata

“I learnt that I matter. That I have a place in the world and a voice. It feels new to me - I feel a bit bold saying that, but I don’t care anymore. This is who I am, and I won’t apologise for it.”

The power your looking for is already within you, it just needs permission to be uncovered.
