Hi, I’m Nicole Ensmenger, a leadership coach, creative guide, and founder of Tinker’N with Intention.

I believe that growth is not just possible — it’s personal, powerful, and deeply creative. I help individuals and teams navigate change with clarity, confidence, and purpose by blending leadership development with expressive arts, reflective practices, and mindset work rooted in neuroscience.

My background in occupational therapy and behavioral health taught me to look at the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. Over the years, I’ve supported people in their most vulnerable moments, helping them rebuild a sense of purpose, independence, and identity. That experience still shapes everything I do today.

I specialize in creating safe, engaging spaces where people can pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. Whether I’m coaching one-on-one, leading a workshop, or facilitating a creative growth session, I aim to help others reconnect with themselves, reframe what’s possible, and take meaningful action — personally and professionally.

People describe me as a calming presence, a strategic thinker, and a creativity instigator. I bring both structure and soul into my work — balancing practical tools with deeply human insight. I’m also a certified John Maxwell Leadership Coach and DISC consultant, which allows me to support communication, self-leadership, and team dynamics in powerful and accessible ways.

At the heart of it all, my work is about helping people come back to themselves — to who they are, what they value, and where they’re headed next.

If you’re in a season of transition, looking to grow, or simply feeling the nudge to reconnect with your spark, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Let’s create space to grow — on purpose.
