Fay's Yard Story

Meet Fay

This is my grandmother, Fay. She is the sweetest, meanest, softest, fiercest woman I have ever known.

She purchased her forever home in America just over a year before I was born. That house has been my foundation my entire life — birthday parties, baby showers, repasses, Sunday dinners where anyone I loved knew they had a standing invitation and nobody left hungry. Some have told me the house was aspirational. Others just know that if they show up, they'll be taken care of.

My grandma Fay created something stable, generous, and real; purely out of determination to give herself and her family the best she could.

Fay's Yard is named for her and built on the same principle. Everyone who works with us will have place that feels like that. Somewhere you can show up as you are, know you're welcome, and leave more nourished than when you arrived.

About Nia

My Background

I didn't originally set out to become a coach — I just wanted to find a way to help people. After obtaining a degree in psychology, I knew I had a good foundation, but the traditional path felt like a cage rather than a springboard. So I decided to follow my intuition and build something more aligned. I hold certifications in life coaching and master professional coaching and spent years developing structures that let me work the way I actually think — across modalities and a broad range of ways of knowing. That includes decolonial and liberation-centered practices, intuitive and nature-based approaches, and systems that Western frameworks are only recently beginning to take seriously.

My Mission

We are subject to millions of subtle and overt messages about who and how we should be, and when we don't fit them, the friction gets framed as a personal failure. So we gradually learn to abandon ourselves, usually with what feels like good reason at the time; Smart. Honorable. Inevitable. "Just the way it is."

My mission is to help you find your way back to yourself — beyond the initial spark of a revelation into a sustainable way of being. That means challenging the beliefs that have been making decisions for you, and reinforcing the authority you have always had over your own life.

Authenticity isn't just personally liberating. It changes how you show up for everyone and everything in your care. We are all stewards of something — when you come home to yourself, the better you tend to what's actually ours to tend, and everything in your orbit reaps the benefits.

My Approach

You cannot plant a flower and yell "grow!" You provide the conditions it needs and let it bloom naturally. If there's a delay, you assess the environment. You don't blame the seeds. I'm here to help you create those conditions. That looks different for everyone, but it always involves learning to trust what you already know — attuning to your instincts, questioning what you've accepted as inevitable, and reclaiming authority over the direction of your life. I bring multiple modalities to that process, and I follow your lead on what's needed.

Who We Help

Your Whole Self Is Welcome Here

I'm kink-aware, sex-positive, and fluent in ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, and sex work. If your relationships, desires, identity, or livelihood exist outside what's considered normal, you don't have to explain any of it here. In this space, all of that is just part of who you are.

Support that Honors your Authenticity

My approach is built around you —how you actually think, feel, and process. I work with a wide range of cognitive and emotional styles. The goal is a relationship with yourself that feels honest, sovereign, and sustainable. However your mind works, Fay's Yard works with it.

An Affirming & Informed Space

I have direct experience supporting non-binary and trans clients and I'm comfortable across the full spectrum of gender and sexuality. Your identity informs the roadmap we build together.

Your Beliefs are Welcome Here

Whatever your relationship to the spiritual world — structured, inherited or self-constructed — it is honored and respected at Fay's Yard.
