"With Nicolette's wealth of knowledge and experience I was able to complete my first of several ultra trail runs. She not only guided my training and nutrition, but also enabled me to have the correct mindset to complete my race comfortably."
Lee Olivier
"When I struggled to believe in myself, you believed in me. And because I believe in you so completely, your belief in me became the reason I believed in myself. If you thought I could, then surely it was true. Many times the voice in my head has been yours! You are not only an incredible athlete but an incredible human too!  Thank you for the lessons, belief and patience!"
