Welcome to Wellness Feast! My name is Nicole, and I'm here to help you reclaim your health, your life and your joy. I'm in my 50s, and I can honestly say I've never been healthier or happier. Whatever age you are, I want you to be able to say the same thing.
A little background . . . I practiced corporate law for nearly ten years in New York before stepping out of the rat race to focus on raising my three children down here in the gorgeous Commonwealth of Virginia. After one of my children was born with asthma and severe food allergies, I learned everything I could about keeping my family healthy. When I realized how many people were dealing with similar issues, I started a custom bakery for people with dietary restrictions and food allergies. You can read more about Cole's Moveable Feast (and find allergy-free dessert recipes, like the one featured on Good Day DC) here.
Over the last 16 years I've read everything I could get my hands on about nutrition, the immune system, the mind-body connection, the effects of stress on our health, our food's effects on the "five As" (asthma, allergies, autism, ADHD and anxiety), disease treatment and prevention, and the economics and politics behind our nation's approach to food production, medical treatment and healthcare.
I also believe in walking a spiritual path, and I strive every day to educate myself and engage in spiritual practices that help me connect with my true self and the world around me. Even though I've always been a bit of a wellness junkie (and thought I knew everything about "healthy living"), several experiences in my own life, including breast cancer, have taught me invaluable lessons about transformation and personal growth, nourishment, community, disease management, balance, mindfulness and compassion. It has been a humbling journey, and I felt called to share what I've learned with others who are pursuing their own wellness & life goals, whatever they may be. That's what led me to educate myself further and become certified as a health coach and life coach. I am also a Precision Nutrition certified nutrition coach, and a personal trainer certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
I am a whole systems coach, so if you're looking for a diet program or strict ideology, I'm not your girl. In fact, I want you to declare freedom from diet culture, fitness fads and pop psychology. I believe:
~ You already know how to live a meaningful and healthy life.
~ Nourishment isn't just about food.
~ Small changes lead to big results.
~ One size doesn't fit all.
~ A beautiful life is your birthright.
~ There's always more to learn.
~ Gratitude and grace are the building blocks of a joyful life.
~ We must serve our communities and help the undernourished and marginalized. See some examples under Praise, Press & More below.
~ We are stewards of this earth and can contribute to a healthier, happier planet.

REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
(Full names are not used because I keep the identity of clients, as well as everything we discuss, strictly confidential) After dealing with a serious health issue, I wanted to get a better understanding of an anti-inflammatory diet. I got that and so much more. As I had hoped, I learned so much about different foods, and I feel much more confident about my food choices. What I did not expect is the grounding Nicole gave me. I feel much better equipped in other parts of my life. She helped me find areas I had been neglecting because I was distracted with the health issue. I went into the experience vulnerable and came out of it stronger. Thank you, Nicole. ~ J. I found Nicole while seeking a nutrition coach who emphasized holistic care and wellness over simply weight loss. I definitely came to the right place ~ I have really enjoyed working with Nicole! She is so upbeat and really cares about her clients, and she makes working on health and wellness fun! Plus, her personal story lets her relate so well to clients. If you are looking to improve your relationship to food in a kind way that lets you take care of yourself as you go, try Wellness Feast! ~ S. I've been working with Nicole for more than a year. The ability to discuss ANYTHING that's going on in your life, and get suggestions, ideas, affirmations and non-judgmental feedback is HUGE! Nicole has a huge knowledge base and a loving heart . . . and only wants the best life for her clients. ~ L. My coaching experience was great! I joined up to get motivation to eat healthier and exercise more. But what I got was so much more than that. My whole lifestyle is healthier, both physical and mental health. She also coached me through a crazy unexpected job change in the middle! I highly recommend Nicole's coaching for anyone who needs a change or is feeling a bit stuck. It's not some crazy restrictive or prescriptive diet plan that's one-size-fits all - Nicole helps you set realistic goals and make small changes that lead to big changes. ~ A I really feel in control of my eating for the first time in a very long time. And I feel better overall. Less of those icky symptoms that have plagued me for too long . . . the change on the scale has given me the hope I was lacking this past year when I couldn’t get it to budge. Thanks to your approach, your support, and the grace you gave us as women who are trying to do “it all.” Your clear and concise directions set limits but didn’t make me feel restricted to the point of failure or fatigue. Thank you. I could not have made these changes without you. They’ve been on my mind but you made them a part of my daily life. I can’t thank you enough. ~ J. If you are looking for a certified health and wellness coach to help you outline your goals and best of all - make a plan to meet them - look no further. Consider taking a peek at Nicole Seevers and her Wellness Feast - you’ll be glad you did! In addition to her private client work, she also hosts retreats and other special events including one of my faves - her 14-day reboot! She provides her clients with everything they need to be successful during the reboot - including amazing new recipes you will want to use again and again! Love Nicole and her constant inspiration to be strong, confident and continue to learn something new about yourself! ~ M. Nicole does a great job providing a wealth of resources, along with entertaining videos and messages to keep you motivated and engaged. I highly recommend! ~ G. Inflammation is down, mood is up, and I'm feeling so much better! All because of the time Nicole has taken to get me to where I am today. ~K Nicole, Your enthusiasm and vast knowledge of nutritional benefits is impressive. Your welcoming message encourages us to seek your advice to improve our health and our hope for a more meaningful tomorrow. I love the recipes and reminders about the importance of physical activity as we strive for our best. Thank you for sharing your own story and helping us to make our own story that makes us proud of our accomplishments, thanks to your guidance and example. ~ J. I'm feeling optimistic about my recovery, and I'm starting to feel like myself again. I've become more intentional about what I'm eating, and I'm not eating late at night as much as I used to (and I've lost weight). I've also been able to bring that same intentionality to my mornings for prayer and planning time, and I feel like I'm able to be more present with my family in the evenings after work. ~ B. If you are ready to make some lifestyle changes [with] a wellness coach, I cannot say enough fabulous things about Nicole with Wellness Feast. ~ M. I challenge you to find a wellness coach as caring, thoughtful, and invested in your personal success as mine is! If you’re looking for one, look no further, Nicole is your girl!. ~ A. Nicole is wonderful and caring. She is all about you being the best you can be with no guilt! She has wonderful recipes and her events are always fun and inspirational. ~ J. |
