Since 2014 Nicole has been consulting with psychologists and immersing herself in the science behind why screen time causes so many harms to children and challenges for adults, becoming a digital wellness expert founding the company Screen Time Clinic to help others. Her new book Screen Smart Sam was written to reach families with very young children to help prevent problems.

Nicole is a dynamic and entertaining educator, coaching her clients and seminars with compassion and conviction to maximize transformation results.
