I help you rewrite the story inside your head
Write the Story so You Thrive
Hi, I'm Nicolò
Key credentials:
Licensed Psychologist
PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Trainer
Certified coach with the International Coaching Federation (PCC level)
Prior to being a coach, I was an active researcher with 20+ published papers on the neuroscience of learning and brain-body interactions (link to my publications list).
I’m a husband and a father of two, to this day the most joyful, humbling and epic story of my life.
When life throws you into transition - becoming a parent, changing careers, facing loss - the stories we tell ourselves determine whether we thrive or merely survive. I’m a narrative coach who helps people author the next chapter of their lives with intention, clarity, and courage.
I’ve worked with 1000+ adults, from CEOs to parents and community leaders. Through powerful questions, life-authoring exercises and strenghtening emotion regulation skills, I help clients move from feeling like lost characters in someone else’s script to becoming the conscious authors of lives they’re proud to live.
I'm the founder of the Take Control! Program, a neuroscience-based approach to overcome excessive smartphone/AI use and restore dopamine balance to double joy, focus and productivity.
My specialty is turning chaos into coherence. Whether you’re stepping into parenthood, taking on new roles, or rebuilding after upheaval, I create spaces where you can pause, reflect, and consciously craft a story that serves your growth rather than limit it.
From survival mode to present & joyful living
What clients say
”Nicolò coached me during a period of career decisions when I faced multiple professional choices. I was very confused and seeking clarity to make an informed choice aligned with who I am fully. In one session, Nicolò guided me to achieve clarity that I thought was impossible in a single session. This clarity allowed me to make the right professional choices that led me to the position I hold today” .
- Annick Davignon, Lecturer, Université Concordia
”I have become more aware of many patterns and how multitasking is less than ideal. I am feeling calmer, less stressed and more focused. I have become better able to say no and to put my limits. I found it useful the way Nicolò was able to explain why I feel a certain way or act a certain way. It puts things in perspective, and I'm able to understand better why I am like that. He is a great coach, provides clear messages and helpful comments and tools”.
- Julie Bègin, Account Director, LG2 Montreal
”This morning I jumped out of bed, so excited to get going with the strategies and systems we put so very carefully in place over the weekend. I have not felt this energized, alive and joyful since Covid began, a full ten months ago! I am so happy and grateful I decided to attend this course and have promised myself this invaluable gift every year, as long as you offer it! Your gentleness, patience yet firmness in guiding us, with encouragement, humor and incredibly precise language offer a solid, grounded foundation from which we can take flight. I have never felt this kind of elation and excitement when committing to a goal and knowing with unequivocal certainty that it will be realized, since success is guaranteed. I am in awe and overflowing with gratitude and joy. Thank you Nicolo and the entire group, looking forward to the weekly check-ins! I encourage everyone to experience this class and make sure you tell your friends. 2031.... I am on my way!”.

”Before working with Nicolo, I was trapped in a cycle of social media addiction, feeling anxious and powerless. A wake-up call came when my daughter pointed out my lack of control and attention. Nicolo’s brilliance in behavioral psychology and personalized coaching created a powerful transformation. Now, I enjoy peaceful rest without my phone in the bedroom, practice mindful phone use, and prioritize real-life connections. His mindful approach and quiet genius helped me to examine & see the old patterns and take responsibility and make different choices for my mental focus. Niccolo’s dedication to his work is truly inspirational, making him an incredible mentor for anyone seeking to regain control over their digital habits and improve their quality of life. Truly grateful”.

”I realized I was not only underperforming professionally but was also neglecting my home life and personal well-being. I knew I couldn’t keep going down this path. What seemed like innocent smart phone use had such a bigger impact that went beyond even just the time on the phone. I was feeling like I didn't have the drive to complete necessary tasks. I was having a hard time concentrating and staying on task. I remember one day being on my phone and I looked up and the kids were on their i-pads and we were just coexisting in a room with zero connection between us. I realized the example I was setting was not one I ever intended. I couldn't preach to the choir so to speak unless I also set better examples. I realized if I didn't go through this program that I couldn't support my children with the change as well. With Nicolo's help, I've drastically reduced my screen time and feel more present in my daily life. I’m not constantly distracted by my phone, which has led to increased focus and productivity. I’ve developed healthier habits around technology, such as setting boundaries for phone use and finding more meaningful ways to spend my time, like reading or engaging with my family or in outdoor activities. After spending less time on my phone I started noticing how many times a day the kids looked my way to see if I was watching them. The connections that we started making were so much more pure and true than anything I could get over my phone. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of how technology impacts my mental health and dopamine levels, which has helped me make more intentional choices about how and when I engage with my devices. Nicolo's zone of genius lies in his deep understanding of how our brains work, particularly when it comes to technology and dopamine. He educates with science-backed facts, which gave me the confidence that the strategies he's offering are grounded in research. What stands out the most is his ability to truly empathize with where I am in my journey. He has this rare talent of putting himself in my shoes, which makes his coaching incredibly personalized and spot-on. His insights are always practical, actionable, and deeply aligned with my goals, which is why they resonate so strongly with me".

”I highly recommend Nicolò’s expertise and educational methods in mindfulness meditation. Nicolo brings depth, commitment and passion to a set of practices that are both very simple and highly elaborate. In order to experience the repertoire of benefits these practices can bring, finding a qualified instructor is all the more important, as is personal commitment. Accompanied by Nicolò’s steady presence, students find a space to explore the richness these ancient practices can bring to our modern lifestyle”.
- Vincent Randy, Senior Business Analyst, Desjardins
”I'm in awe of how you get to the root of an issue and help us to think about how we're thinking and processing things. It's not advice you're giving; it's a new lens and realization that we can change the beliefs that we've picked up along the years. My husband and I both got so much out of the chat and we will be watching the replay for months and years to come”.
