Work With Nina
Somewhere to put it down.
Wherever you are, that is where we start.
You may know exactly what you are navigating. Or you may only know that what you're carrying has become heavier, more draining or too much to hold alone. Either way, you don't need the right words before we begin.

Where you might be
These are seasons of life.
The people I work with are often strong, capable and used to handling things. They reach out when something has become too heavy, overwhelming or complicated to keep navigating in the way they normally would.
You may be caring for someone you love, carrying the weight of leadership or high responsibility, grieving a loss, moving through a transition, feeling stuck or experiencing a period of spiritual growth. Sometimes several of these are happening at once.
Each season asks something different of you, and this may be one of the hardest you have ever faced. You may recognize yourself in one of the areas below, in several at once or in something not named here. Wherever you are, we can begin there.
What are you navigating right now?
Caregiving & Overwhelm
Holding someone else's world without losing your own.
You may be carrying appointments, decisions, logistics and the quieter weight of being the one who notices what needs to happen next. From the outside, it may look handled. Inside, you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed, resentful, guilty about the resentment or unsure who you are outside of caregiving.
Some of what you carry cannot be put down, but you do not have to disappear beneath it. Together, we make room for you to:
- Declare your needs. Identify and communicate what you need, including asking for and receiving help without guilt or apology.
- Create a monthly respite plan. Make space on the calendar for your rest, needs and well-being alongside every appointment and responsibility.
- Discover what self-care means for you. Recognize what genuinely supports you, what you may already be doing and what does not need to become another task.
- Build support that truly shows up. Identify the people who can offer meaningful, practical help, communicate what you need and remain open to support emerging from unexpected places.
- Reconnect with your spiritual self. Whether you call it faith, energy, spirit or soul, strengthen the foundation that helps you move beyond survival and reconnect with life.
A dedicated caregiver intake helps me understand what you are managing before we begin, so you do not have to explain everything from scratch.
You may not be able to put all of it down, but something within you can shift.
New for caregivers: The Respite Room, a free monthly Zoom experience. Join the interest list to hear when it begins.
Burnout, Leadership & High Responsibility
High capacity is not the same as endless capacity.
You lead, you deliver, you carry responsibility for people and outcomes. Your threshold for hard is unusually high, which is often the very reason you are carrying too much.
In capable people, burnout often doesn't look like collapse. It looks like getting everything done and feeling almost nothing about it. Going through the motions with people you love. Trying to remember the last time you felt genuine energy, ease or joy.
We work with the energy underneath, not only the calendar. That may mean restoring what has been depleted, releasing a pattern, belief or burden that has surfaced and is no longer serving you, drawing a boundary, changing a structure or making a decision you have been avoiding. Because energy, spirituality and practical action are not separate in my work, what shifts in one can create movement in the others.
You can be the person everyone relies on and still have somewhere to put it down.
Grief, Loss & Life Transitions
Grief is not a problem to be solved.
A death, a diagnosis, the end of a marriage, a move, a role you no longer hold or an identity you thought was permanent. Life changes, sometimes abruptly, and not everything you carry can be fixed. Some things hurt because they hurt.
Together, we learn how to live in relationship with it, honoring the pain and the love underneath it, building a place of sanctuary within you and making room for meaning and joy to exist alongside the grief rather than instead of it.
Transitions can carry grief too, including the ones other people call good news. Retirement, an empty nest, a business you closed or started, a body that changed. Something ended or shifted, and that deserves acknowledgment before you are expected to feel excited about what comes next.
Your grief has no deadline. Its timetable belongs to you.
Feeling Stuck
Something needs to change, but you can't yet see what.
You may have read the books, gone to therapy, taken courses, developed practices and spent years doing your own inner work. You understand your patterns and can analyze your situation deeply, yet you still find yourself in the same place, wondering why it continues to feel so hard.
A different vantage point may be the missing piece. When you are in the middle of something, it can be difficult to see beyond the options you have already considered, and thinking harder can keep you circling.
EPIC Alignment gives us a way into what feels stuck. Expansion opens you to new practices, deeper spiritual exploration and ways of being that extend beyond what you have already known or tried. Perspective helps you move through different lenses, consider what you are carrying from multiple angles and become more discerning about what feels true and aligned for you. Inner Self reconnects you with your intuition and inner wisdom, while Capacity helps you bring what you discover into your everyday life.
Within the safe container I create, practical coaching, spiritual connection, Reiki and intuitive guidance support you in exploring what is present, releasing what no longer serves you and accessing what thinking alone has not been able to reach. One session can shift a lot.
You may not see the way forward yet. Together, we can begin to illuminate the path, create forward movement and discover the gold in what you are carrying.
Explore EPIC AlignmentSpiritual Growth & Inner Wisdom
Hearing yourself beneath all the noise.
Some clients come with a deep spiritual practice and a strong relationship with energy and intuition. Others are newer to Reiki but recognize themselves as seekers, deep feelers, highly sensitive or empathic. What they share is an openness to exploring what is felt, sensed and known beyond the intellectual level.
An awakening, loss or unexpected experience may have opened something within you, or you may be ready to deepen a path you have been walking for years. Either way, you want a space where you can talk openly, explore freely and bring your whole spiritual self into the room.
Spirituality is foundational to how I work, but you do not need to believe exactly what I believe. We can work with energy, intuition, Reiki and questions that do not have tidy answers while still creating a practical path forward. We can listen to your intuition and make a plan.
Intuition is woven naturally throughout our work. I listen deeply to what you are saying and pay attention to what I sense, notice or intuitively receive. These insights may help us access what you cannot yet see or reach through thinking alone, and they are always offered as an invitation for your discernment. My intuition supports the process while strengthening your connection to your own inner wisdom.
Your sensitivity, intuition and spiritual knowing are welcome here. Together, we can listen more deeply.
