NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Nicole Ternay

For years, I operated from force.

High performance. Relentless execution.

“I’ll make it work or I’ll die trying.”

It worked...until it didn’t.

Behind achievement was pressure.

Behind discipline was control.

Behind drive was a nervous system that never turned off.

I didn’t need more strategy.

I needed to understand the identity driving my life.

That work changed everything.

MavenHeart was born from that shift.

My Story

I spent the first part of my life in the ballet world ...a place where your worth was measured first by how you looked, then by what you could do. It was beautiful, disciplined and exacting… but it came at a cost. The pressure to perform perfectly built my resilience ...and also planted patterns of self-criticism, internal pressure and perfectionism that would quietly follow me for years.

After ballet, I became a Physical Therapist Assistant, a personal trainer, behavioral and a health coach. I helped women achieve visible results but I saw the same story repeating itself: success on the outside, frustration and self-doubt on the inside. I lived it too ...chasing perfection, obsessing over food and workouts, constantly measuring my worth against external standards.

 Through trial, testing and a lot of reflection, I realized something critical…lasting transformation ...in your body, your career or your life ...never happens without aligning your inner world with your outer results. The methods, the programs, the “to-do’s” are only part of the equation. True change comes from shifting the internal architecture...your beliefs, your nervous system, your identity.

I partner with high-achieving women who have mastered the external world and are ready to master themselves. We uncover the invisible patterns holding you back, restructure the way you think and feel about yourself, and create an operating system that makes your next level inevitable.

I combine psychology, nervous system science, and behavioral strategy ...backed by decades of experience in high performance, wellness, and mindset coaching ...to help women move forward with confidence, clarity and ease.

If you’ve ever felt like your success is exacting a hidden cost… like your achievements look incredible from the outside but feel heavy inside… MavenHeart is here to help you get aligned, resilient and fully yourself.
