Welcome to The Messy Leader
Sacred | Raw | Whole
For the woman who’s ready to lead her life—imperfect and wild.
The Mess Is the Way
You’ve tried to stay neat.
You’ve followed the rules.
You’ve held it all together—until your body, your spirit, your truth said enough.
The Messy Leader isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about reclaiming the parts you left behind to survive.
Here, we don’t rise above the mess.
We rise through it.
I create messy, sacred spaces where wholeness leads.
This isn’t business coaching.
This is sacred reclamation.
This is for women who are done playing small, done performing, and ready to live, lead, and create from truth.
Through circles, private sessions, and soul-aligned
guidance, I walk beside women who:
Feel like they’ve lost who they are
Are navigating grief, change, or the unknown
Want to live and lead with purpose—not perfection
Are ready to create something new from the mess
If you’re holding it all together and falling apart inside—this is your invitation to stop pretending and start remembering.
Discover the Power of Intuitive Guidance and Creative Alignment.
I’m Nicol Heard.
Founder of The Messy Leader.
Grief-walker.
Creative guide.
A woman who knows what it’s like to forget herself—and what it takes to come home.
I lead because I’ve lived it.
Because I know how sacred, painful, and powerful it is to rise again when life breaks you open.
Because I believe mess and magic can exist in the same breath.
And because I trust that your leadership begins not when you clean it all up—but when you claim all of it.
Your Journey Starts Here:
You don’t need more pressure to be perfect.
You need space to become who you already are.
Through our work together, you’ll be safely held and guided to access your own potent rewiring, intuitive answers, and lasting change.
This work is for you if you:
Feel stuck between what you “should” be doing and what your soul truly desires
Struggle to trust your intuitive voice when it matters most
Want to break the cycle of unhappiness, doubt, and disconnection
Are ready to uncover and embody your life’s true purpose
Long to feel whole, joyful, and unapologetically you
Activate Your Intuitive Intelligence
This sacred initiation draws upon Hermetic Principles, HeartMath science, trauma-informed tools, Creative Development methods, nervous system regulation practices, and conflict mastery techniques to help you reclaim your intuitive power and unlock your creative potential.
This isn’t just mindset work.
This is embodiment, energetic alignment, and creative strategy that makes the invisible real.
We work on the inner world and the outer structure side by side.
This isn't just mindset work.
This is embodiment, energetic alignment, and clear creative strategy.
Together, we make the invisible real.
Amplify your natural intuitive gifts.
Feel whole, joyful, and embodied.
Release what blocks your true nature.
Step into the most YOU version of yourself.
Are You Willing to Lead Yourself—Even in the Mess?
You don’t need to be more together. You need to be more you. This work won’t fix you—it will bring you home. Back to the part of you that already knows, already feels, already hears the truth beneath the noise. If you’re waiting for the mess to settle before you move, don’t. The mess is the portal. Let’s meet there.
Testimonials
Being coached by Nicol in her Business program this year has been brilliant. I didn’t believe I could build a business, but from the first session, Nicol’s business expertise and passion and skills in using Transformational structure shifted that limited perspective. Nicol is a magical concrete realist, she’s authentic, she leads from the heart and ‘no’ is not in her vocabulary - unless she is calling you out about what you think is holding you back or clarifying the next business task that’s calling. Nicol’s leadership models accountability, and with natural success processes in every session that created collaborative synergy between all the participants, I knew we weren’t just building business structure but intuitive muscle as well. I find myself now, independently going out and creating business opportunities I didn’t know were there, completing business tasks with the satisfaction of true focus and loving the business I’m creating. I’m blown away by my own transformation and I heartily recommend Nicol’s Essence Business to anyone, at any stage of business development, in any industry or niche
Margaret
I have been a coaching client of Nicol Heard’s for several years to date, primarily as a 1-1 client and I have also participated in her group sessions. Most recently her Business 6 month Program.
Nicol is a genuinely gifted and talented coach. Her caring and support for each client is second to none. Nicol instinctively knows when to push either gently or strongly to get the best out of you and she is not afraid to ask the hard questions. Nicol will also call BS if she realises her client is taking the easy path and not digging as deep as possible.
I also believe that Nicol’s strength as an effective coach/mentor is her ability to always want the best for all her clients and she strives to achieve that result for everyone.
My advice to anyone thinking of working with Nicol is to run, don’t walk, and jump in with both feet, as the support, encouragement, care, love and excitement in every session will keep you motivated and excited to reach your goals.

On Wadawurrung Country, stretching from the Great Dividing Range in the north to the southern coast and from the Werribee River in the east to the Surf Coast in the west, we honour the Traditional Custodians of this land, the Wadawurrung people of the Kulin Nation. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and acknowledge their enduring connection to the land, waters, and community. We also celebrate the rich stories, culture, and traditions of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders who live and work on this land.
