I love being a catalyst for change in my clients' lives. The best part of what I do is witnessing my clients' self-improvements, healing, 'aha' moments, evolution, or reinvention. I was born and raised in New York, went to college and business school at the University of Michigan and have spent 20 years working in high tech firms in Silicon Valley, as a software engineer and a marketing manager. I am an executive, a radio personality, an accomplished musician, a lover of technology, a motivational speaker, a teacher, a creative problem-solver and a good listener. I am nationally certified as both a life coach and as a therapeutic massage practitioner. I continue to study various bodywork modalities and have recently completed a second Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Five Branches University in Santa Cruz.
Nina's Alphabet Soup Magic Decoder:Most people know what an M.B.A. is, but I suspect you're wondering what the rest of the "alphabet soup" after my name means. Here's the "magic decoder" for the rest of the letters after my name: C.P.C.C.This means that I've completed a year long coaching certification program, and passed an oral and written exam. Many coaches don't bother to do this. The International Coaches Federation encourages all coaches to achieve this level. Coaching is a unique 'designed alliance' between you and me, a coach who's dedicated to helping you reach your goals. No two coaching relationships are the same; each coach/client team decides how they will work together and can renegotiate as needed. For most of my clients, coaching sessions are typically scheduled weekly for 30 minutes by phone. During these sessions, we'll look at your entire life to determine what's working and what's not. Then we'll build a vision for you and create strategies for achieving it. Between the sessions is where the progress happens—that's where you set off on your course with the roadmap we've crafted firmly in hand. That's when the magic happens. Unlike therapy, coaching is about the client's agenda—your agenda. It is centered in the present and action oriented. We'll work on what you want to work on. Traditionally I've been 'The Transition Coach' and have worked with people, their careers and relationships especially in the context of 'reinventing' them. We all need to reinvent ourselves periodically. I enjoy helping professionals to re-envision their careers, or couples who want to evolve their relationship. These days I'm also working with solo practitioners who are building or rebuilding their practices and high tech professionals who want to maintain their professional competitiveness. With my marketing experience and insights from building my own practices, I've developed a course called "Ramp Your Practice in 90 Days". I enjoy both the teaching and the coaching aspects of helping practitioners to more effectively communicate with their ideal clients. My newest workshop is called Sharpen Your Competitive Edge: How to Stay Professionally Competitive in a Rapidly Changing World. This is for high tech professionals who want to be marketable and stay attractive to potential employers despite changes in their lives and the industry. If you're ready to embark on an exciting coaching journey to new and often unexpected places in your career, business, health, or relationship, let's talk about who you are, and what you want to accomplish. Send me an email and let's book an appointment. N.C.T.M.B.This means that I'm a nationally certified massage practitioner. I've done way more than 500 hours of massage training and I've passed a national exam. Most massage therapists don't bother to do this, but those who do tend to be better educated and more professional. In all I do, I am very results-oriented. If you have muscles that are tight or sore, I'll find them and work on them until you feel results. You will notice results from your first massage with me. Often it will take more than just one visit to work through a problem area. In general, regular ongoing bodywork is a great way to keep stress in check. Most of my clients have challenging 24/7 high tech jobs. They realize that bodywork is a key ingredient in counteracting the stress of their everyday lives. Bodywork can help you achieve better connection between your mind and the rest of your body. If you spend most of your time in your mind and want to feel more connected to the rest of your body, book an appointment with me. M.T.C.M., Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)This means that I have a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and that I have passed the National Board exams in Oriental Medicine (Acupuncture, Chinese Herbology, the Foundations of TCM and Biomedicine). L.Ac.This means that I'm a licensed acupuncturist in California. The state of California has its own acupuncture board and its own exam, which is a lot more difficult to pass than the national board exams. Being a licensed acupuncturist means that I am a primary healthcare provider in California. Traditional Chinese Medicine has been available for thousands of years and billions of people have been successfully treated with TCM. Many Americans have been curious about TCM but have never tried it. If you have always wanted to try Acupuncture and TCM, I would be happy to introduce you to the benefits of this simple and effective medicine. Phone or email me to set up an appointment. Many people ask me what TCM can treat. I always say that I would use TCM for any problem that does not require emergency treatment. Most people's health issues don't require an emergency room. Often a simple acupuncture treatment, some lifestyle changes and possibly some herbs can solve the problem more effectively and less expensively than other approaches.
