About Nicole | Nicole Reilly Coaching

Hi! I'm Nicole Reilly, MD, LMFT

I believe that the most powerful way to raise emotionally healthy children is to become emotionally regulated parents.

I’m a licensed physician and marriage & family therapist, and for over a decade I’ve supported individuals and families in understanding stress, emotions, and connection. Since 2014, I’ve taught Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and during the pandemic I led live, 25-minute mindfulness meditations to help people find steadiness and support during uncertain times.

Beyond my professional training, this work is deeply personal.

What I teach is something I genuinely wish my own parents had access to when I was growing up.

Like many of the parents I now work with, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, triggered, and unsure how to respond in the moment—while still wanting to show up with love, patience, and intention. That’s why I’ve not only dedicated my career to this work, but also invested in my own growth, doing the same mindset and emotional regulation work I now guide others through.

Today, I specialize in helping loving, well-intentioned, but stressed parents learn how to regulate their own emotions first—so they can model these skills for their children. Because children don’t just learn from what we say—they learn from who we are.

Through my online course, group coaching calls, supportive community, and in-person seminars, I teach practical, science-backed emotion regulation tools that help parents:

Respond instead of react
Co-regulate with their children
Build deeper connection and trust
Create more harmony in their homes

This work is for parents who are ready to make a meaningful investment in themselves—not just for their own well-being, but for the emotional health of their entire family.

If you’re committed to breaking old patterns, strengthening your relationship with your child, and becoming the calm, grounded presence your family needs, you’re in the right place.
