About Me

Hi, I’m Nicky Hammond. I live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia, with my husband, our two school-aged boys, and our beloved Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

I’m a Master Certified Life Coach and a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. Over the past eight years, I’ve worked with hundreds—if not thousands—of humans through 1:1 coaching, group programs, and as a coach instructor. I’ve also consulted for leading international entrepreneurs, including US business expert Amy Porterfield, and created my own transformational coaching programs.

I bring a unique blend of mindset coaching and somatic practices, offering clients a compassionate, grounded, and powerful space for growth. My presence, intuition, and ability to hold space for honest exploration allow clients to create deep, lasting change—starting from the inside out.

Alongside my coaching work, I hold a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of International Studies, and a Master of International Studies. I’ve worked in community development for over 20 years, building inclusive communities and designing meaningful programs and events across multicultural, not-for-profit, and government spaces.

I love helping humans truly know themselves and supporting them to create a life that aligns with their truth.

  • Compassionate

    Self compassion comes first, what follows is understanding and compassion for others. Embracing our human nature is key.

  • Honest

    Honesty is at the heart of self knowing, growth and healing.

  • Courageous

    Courage is the willingness to step into the unfamiliar, take a risk and feel the discomfort of all the emotions in order to expand.

My Story

I was born in South Korea and adopted to Australia with my identical twin sister when we were six months old. Growing up as a transracial adoptee in a white Australian family, I always carried questions about who I was, where I came from, and where I truly belonged.

That experience shaped everything—my deep curiosity about identity, culture, and connection. It gave me a sensitivity to the stories we carry, the ones we inherit, and the ones we get to rewrite.

I’ve lived and travelled around the world trying to define my place in it.

Before I found coaching almost a decade ago, I was a perfectionistic, overwhelmed mum. I was skeptical of self-help, afraid of being seen, and didn’t feel confident in my own voice. I was the kind of person who tried to hold everything together for everyone else—while quietly doubting myself inside.

And yet, something in me knew there had to be more.

Coaching cracked open a door I didn’t even know was there. Breathwork gave me the courage to walk through it.

Today, I’m a Master Certified Coach and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. I run my own business, build communities and support individuals to heal, grow, and lead with authenticity—from the inside out. But I didn’t arrive here by accident. I built this life through intentional inner work, and I’ve walked beside hundreds of others as they’ve done the same.

I now work with people from all walks of life—adoptees, coaches, parents, small business owners, entrepreneurs, academics—who are ready to come home to themselves.

Because when you know who you are, you move differently through the world.

And that changes everything.
