ABOUT CHILLI SAGE
AND NICKY COOPER
I partner with individuals looking for growth, supporting and empowering them to get the most from work and life.
A Life Rooted in Connection
Relationships, connection and community are at the heart of my world, and have been for as long as I remember.
At home, I’m a mum, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and partner. At work, I’m a coach, supporting people to create and live their own version of a fulfilling, meaningful life.
Curious About People
From an early age, I’ve enjoyed being with people from all walks of life.
My love of travel and hiking combined with a passion for being in nature has enabled me to mix people and conversation with community and culture. I’m fascinated by what makes people tick, what motivates us, what drives us, and how our unique stories feed into our values, beliefs, and behaviour.
My Journey Into Coaching
I first came across coaching many years ago, when I worked with a Co-Active coach who introduced me to the most impactful coaching approach I’ve ever experienced; the transformational journey that I’ve been on since then is remarkable.
Co-Active coaching meets the highest standards across the globe, bringing a broad range of powerful tools and techniques, leading to meaningful insight, growth, and life-changing transformation. Training as a Co-Active coach has provided me with the toolkit to do the same for my clients.
My Qualifications
I’m an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the ICF (International Coaching Federation) a rigorous assessment demonstrating my commitment to high ethical standards and professional competence. I’m a certified practitioner LCP (Leadership Circle Profile) – a truly comprehensive and powerful leadership framework to support leadership development and effectiveness.

ABOUT CHILLI SAGE
The Story Behind Chilli Sage
Chilli Sage is born out of the many professional and personal experiences and connections that have been at the very heart of my journey over the years. It comes from the ups and downs, highs and lows, the beginnings and endings and all the maelstroms along the way.
I’ve learned that my strength, resilience, and courage have been key to navigating my way to finding meaning, purpose and fulfilment in my personal and professional life.
How I Work
I work with you to explore what it is you really want, consider the options, stretch beyond where you’ve been so far. I support you to discover the what, the why and the how. And importantly, bring in action and accountability, after all, coaching without action is simply a conversation!
My Coaching Philosophy
My coaching is based on the belief that you are naturally resourceful, creative, and whole. I support you, challenge you, dance with you. I have the tools and structured approach to support you in getting the results you want.
I ask you to bring humility, courage, and commitment to our sessions. Coaching can get messy, it’s not a walk in the park, so we work on a foundation of trust. Everything is in total confidence and without judgement.
I don’t know what is right for you; but I believe with the right questions, in a safe space, you will discover what it is you want and need for yourself.
