Assisting women in business to redefine success - without burnout, overwhelm, or sacrificing their health
Award Winning Coach & Published Author
How does imposter syndrome show up on you?
You’re brilliant at what you do, but business was never built with your reality in mind.
It’s not just what you do. It’s what you carry.
Running a business while holding everything else; the household, the schedules, the care work, the mental load.
It demands a different kind of strength.
And the usual “just push harder” advice of “hustle culture”? It falls flat – irrelevant at best, harmful at worst, especially if you are also carrying a chronic condition, with the fatigue, brain fog, hormone chaos, pain they bring.
The truth is: hustle culture simply doesn’t work for women.
Women don’t just do business — we embody and we carry it, alongside the invisible work of home, relationships, care.
And, if you're also managing a chronic condition
Be it fatigue, pain, brain fog, hormone havoc etc etc— the pressure isn’t just unsustainable, it can be dangerous.
The daily energy tax changes of hustle culture needs to get in the bin, and I’m here to help you reset.
To simplify.
To build a business that works with your body, not against it — whether you’re managing your kids, your hormones, your nervous system, your parents, your energy levels, or all of the above.
Because when you build around you — not some unrealistic ideal — that’s where sustainable, powerful success starts.
Success isn’t about pushing through. It’s about tuning in — and building from there
A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Nikola Howard, Life Alchemist.
Coach, mentor, author, polymath
Outraged Gen-X Woman and someone who lives the reality of having chronic conditions.
I help women in business simplify, reset, and build success on their own terms — especially when they’re dealing with challenges most business advice ignores.
Because I’ve been there.
I know what it’s like to run a business while also managing fatigue, brain fog, hormonal chaos and pain — the invisible weight that shapes everything but rarely gets named.
I know how it feels to question your capacity, your confidence, even your worth.
But here’s the truth: you are not the problem.
The system, the expectations, the “push through no matter what” model — that’s what’s broken.
My work meets you where you are. Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, insulin resistance, autoimmune issues, or a mix of symptoms with no neat label.
You deserve a business that works with your body, not against it.

What She Said
"Nikola’s help appeared to me in a time of great need when I didn’t know what I was thinking or how to get out of the fug I’d got myself into. I was truly stuck with both wellies in the mud, vacuumed in! As she sat observing me during our conversations she was able to ask great questions to guide me. One thing she said which will stay with me forever was “you know where you are when you don’t know where you are”. It was like a light had been shone over the key part of the situation. She’s right. I was used to living in uncertainty and now I don’t know where I am without it. We explored my lack of self compassion, my views around hard work, how I panic and looking forward to achievements. Something happened in our time together and it was another part of the puzzle unearthed which has really helped to empower me. I’d definitely recommend her!"

Awards
My work’s been recognised with over 20 awards in the past few years — from being named Nutrition Coach of the Year multiple times, to winning Best Low-Carb Lifestyle Coaching Service here in the UK.
I’ve also been honoured for supporting women’s health and leadership, picking up titles like Most Empowering Women’s Nutrition Consultant and CEO of the Year.
It’s lovely validation, the honours are lovely.
What means far more to me is seeing clients reclaim their energy, confidence, and ease.
That’s the real reward.
