Meet Your Coach
Certified Holistic Health Coach for Women
I’m Nichola Amor, a fully qualified UKIHCA-registered Health Coach based in Cardiff, specialising in women's health especially menopause, perimenopause, and stress and burnout support for women balancing demanding careers with family life. I work with clients across the UK and beyond via Zoom.
Before training as a coach, I spent over 20 years in senior leadership roles, including running a university department and managing restructuring projects. I know first-hand what it feels like to carry a demanding career, manage a team, have family responsibilities and still be expected to keep it all together — while your own body and energy levels are quietly changing underneath you. That lived experience, alongside my coaching training, is what shapes the way I work with clients: practical, honest, and free of judgement.
I know that things can feel like they're unravelling all at once and I’m here to tell you that the right support can make all the difference.

My approach to coaching women through Menopause, Midlife, Hormonal Changes and Stress/Burnout
Coaching with me is always collaborative, not prescriptive. We start with where you are and what matters most to you, then build a plan around your real life — not a generic template. Everyone is different. We all have different experiences, different heath goals and different amounts of time and capacity (despite what some might think we definitely don’t all have the same 24 hours in a day!).
Sessions are warm, unhurried, and always confidential. I draw on evidence-based health coaching principles alongside two decades of experience supporting people through change.
Wherever you are on your journey, whatever your goals are and whatever time and capacity you have I can help you. Even small changes can make a difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a menopause health coach do?
A menopause health coach helps you understand and manage the physical, hormonal, and emotional changes of perimenopause and menopause through practical lifestyle support — covering things like sleep, energy, nutrition, movement, and stress. Unlike a GP, a coach doesn't diagnose or prescribe; instead, they work alongside your medical care to help you build sustainable habits and make sense of what's happening day to day.
How is holistic health coaching different from seeing a GP or taking HRT?
Holistic coaching isn't a replacement for medical treatment — it's a complement to it. A GP or specialist can treat the hormonal side (including HRT if appropriate), while a health coach focuses on the lifestyle, mindset, and habit changes around nutrition, sleep, stress, and boundaries that also affect how you feel. A health coach can also help you get the best out of GP appointments by ensuring you are properly informed and prepped with the right questions.
Who is this coaching for?
This coaching is for women in perimenopause or menopause, particularly those juggling senior careers, leadership roles, or heavy family responsibilities, who feel like they're running on empty. Many clients come to Nichola dealing with brain fog, low energy, disrupted sleep, or early signs of burnout alongside hormonal changes.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies by person, since coaching is built around your specific goals and starting point rather than a fixed template. A free discovery call is the best way to talk through what you need and agree a realistic plan together.
Are sessions online or in person?
Sessions take place remotely via Zoom, with flexible scheduling designed to fit around work and family commitments. Nichola is based in Cardiff and works with clients across the UK.
