Author, artist and self-discovery coach Nicole Wittauer explores the power of play to find courage, heal deep wounds and reclaim one's true identity. She inspires individuals to embrace nature’s gift of play and reignite the inner child’s desire to explore without expectations, both the inner and the outer worlds, finding hidden treasures and decoding messages that appear all around.
From a German father and Canadian mother, Nicole spent her childhood moving from country to country since the day she was born. Integrating new environments taught her to observe and adapt from a very early age, both gaining insight about human behaviour and losing her own identity along the way.
By her early twenties, Nicole’s curiosity around human motivation, communication and self-exploration had reached its peak, becoming the topic of her University Thesis. She spent the next 25 years moving between various artistic and technical jobs, always exploring their impact on the human mind and how this affected the relationships between people.
In 2011, Nicole became a solution-focused and team coach, and in 2019 she started exploring the science behind spirituality. This took her on a deeper journey of her own consciousness, integrating the gateway of art not only for herself but her clients as well.
In 2022 she published her first book, Stumbling Upon My Self. It's a collection of musings, drawings and quotes that invite the reader to embark on a colouring journey while reflecting on meaningful topics. She is currently finalising the first quest of her self-exploration game concept, The Gates of Lilamythia, inviting the player/reader to explore the Kingdom of the Magical Child within.
Nicole lives in a small village in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, with her two grown children and dog. Among her array of clients, she has had the honour of working with award-winning entrepreneurs, start-ups, renowned coaches, and healers, as well as young adults about to venture into their professional life. She helps them find their path to clarity and an aligned state of being so that they can embrace life and all that it has to offer effortlessly, confidently and in perfect flow.
