About Patience by Design Coaching


Hello, welcome to my coaching practice. I am Nicole Patience Havermale, a Wellcoaches Certified Health & Well-being Coach. Thank you for spending time to explore what is possible today.


I created Patience by Design Coaching to help people slow down, realign, and build a life that feels good again. After years of working in healthcare and technology, I saw how easily high-achieving professionals lose connection to their own well-being. My approach blends the science of Lifestyle Medicine and Positive Psychology with the art of self-awareness — turning big goals into small, meaningful changes that actually stick.


I am a Wellcoahes Certified Health & Well-being Coach and hold a Master's from Harvard in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. I bring both heart and strategy to the work I do. Coaching with me is collaborative and conversational — no quick fixes or pressure, just space to think, breathe, and grow. Whether we’re exploring burnout recovery, workplace balance, or overall health, my goal is simple: to help you thrive, by your design.

"skilled at framing up the thoughts in my head and recommending actions to take. The space to be real and raw but also leave each session with a plan was amazing."



"If you’re feeling stuck or down or just have a lot of ideas and don’t know where to start, Nicole is your girl. It’s time to invest in yourself"
