Life Coach, Speaker, Author, Gentle Giant

Nicholas Townsend Smith, MSP, is a Mindset Coach. He helps you reprogram unuseful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, to create your ideal life.

Known as the Gentle Giant, he has a way of holding space and listening to you in such a way that you are able to lovingly see yourself and heal your life.

One client said, “Nick is an experience, and he holds the space necessary for you to look within and discover the answers there the whole time. Nick IS the power of the pause. He magnificently holds silent. He has this way of cutting through the noise to get at the heart of a matter in a completely disarming and loving way.”

Another said,

"Having a session with Nick is unlike any other kind of coaching session I have ever had. He is intently focused, you are in the moment. There is something so authentic; it's not forced. He listens to every word and he truly tries to understand what it is I'm saying. I also feel he truly cares. He really wants to make an impact, not just, “ok let's get through this time.” Nick brought out hope when there was none to be found.”

"Aun recuerdo el primer contacto con Nick: un pequeño encargo de diseño de personajes, hace casi 10 años atras. Fue un trabajo como otros, de unos pocos días.

Tiempo después Nick volvió a mí con una propuesta aún mayor: un libro ilustrado con aquellos personajes. Y luego de mas de un año de trabajo el resultado fue increible. El universo de Rimi y Ritt es tan hermoso que fue una aventura genial poder ser parte. Hoy, viendolo hacia atras, siento que todo tiene un sentido: un pequeño encargo, un pequeño sueño, se volvió gigante. Y aún le queda mucho por crecer!

I still remember the first contact with Nick: a small character design commission, almost 10 years ago. It was a job like others, of a few days. Some time later Nick came back to me with an even bigger proposal: an illustrated book with those characters. And after more than a year of work the result was incredible. Rimi and Ritt's universe is so beautiful that it was a great adventure to be able to be part of it. Today, looking back, I feel that everything has a meaning: a small commission, a small dream, became giant. And it still has a lot to grow!"
