Who is IdaNicole personally...

As a mother to two grown sons, one of whom is on the autism spectrum, and a grandmother to three grandchildren, my journey has been one of resilience and advocacy. Having faced challenges including abuse, sexual assault, and trauma in my own life, I am deeply committed to empowering others to cultivate healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Driven by my own experiences of navigating through adversity, I recognized a profound lack of accessible resources and support for individuals seeking to heal and thrive in their romantic and sexual lives. This realization ignited my passion to bridge this gap and offer guidance to those on similar paths.

Throughout my life, I have often felt like a square peg in a round hole, with my interests, values, and perspectives diverging from conventional norms. Embracing authenticity amidst societal pressures can be daunting, yet I have learned firsthand the transformative power of self-acceptance and resilience.

With a blend of personal insight and professional expertise, I am dedicated to fostering an environment of understanding, acceptance, and empowerment for individuals seeking to embrace their true selves and cultivate meaningful relationships.
