Cheyenne Nicholas and her husband are new in town. They relocated here from Maryland where Cheyenne Nicole - as she's known in the business world - worked in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. 

 

"We had visited here before and just really liked the area," Nicholas said. "It's big enough that you don't feel you're in the middle of nowhere, but small enough to have that smalltown feel."

 

Describing herself as spiritual and extra intuitive, Nicholas has hung her shingle at 410 East Main Street, where she is open on a daily basis as a life advisor. 

 

A certified life coach, Nicholas - who originally had her sights set on being a hairdresser or cosmetologist - likes dealing with peope face-to-face and helping them navigate through the emotional roller coasters in life. 

 

"That can be a break-up, divorce or any life event that changes the emotions," she said. Sometimes you just can't focus or see the writing on the wall - or the obvious. I pretty much help you keep direction or a plan for what you need in your life."

 

A life coach can also simply help a client stay on task in his or her professional or personal life, keeping appointments and organizing. 

Everyone has people on quick dial - who they confide in or depend on as a sounding board when life events alter the emotions, Nicholas said. 

 

Where she differs from that person is that she is certified and trained to tap into the human behavior and help the client uncover all the positivity in his or her life. 

 

"The human behavior - and habits - are not easy to break," she said. "The training and the certification process I went through teaches how to handle people when they are emotionally high - so wound up that everything that comes from them is negative. I learned how to calm that person down to where they normally would be so they see things in a different light."

 

Life coaching and counseling are very different, Nicholas said. 

 

"Counseling and therapy deal more with what the problem is and how to fix the problem, where a life coach navigates  you through the problem and helps you understand how you can adjust and come out on the other end without being so stressed or tired," she said.

 

"That's where a lot of issues come in. People feel like they're missing out unless they're living in a world without problems. Jesus, himself, had problems."

 

Nicholas said she is a spiritual person, but that she also has been gifted with an extra sense of intuivity. 

 

"It's just like everyone has that feeling that they need to call the kids - that something is wrong or something has happened," she said. "Everyone is inuitiive to a certain extent. I'm just more fine-tuned than others."

 

She said she never asked for it, but when attending high school, planning on pursuing a career in the beauty or fashion industry, she began getting "vibes" and thereafter sharing with friends that she thought they would soon face a break-up or that their parents would divorce. It got to the point, she said, that her friends didn't want her to tell them anything negative about their life because it always came true. 

 

Nicholas still utilizes that intuitivity, but focuses on the positive. 

 

"Ninety percent of the time it's just for fun; nothing serious, just things that are happening and people are always surprised that I know little things about them," she said.

 

Cheyenne Nichole can be seen by appointment by calling 304-842-8323. Because she is just getting started, she is currently accepting walk-ins and begins her day at 10 a.m.

 

"Come in and chit-chat with me," she said. "I am a family person and want to help people. I want to help them in whatever they are going through in their life - which job offer to take or something big like a love triangle and they are not sure what to do."

 

She does readings and can accommodate parties and girls' nights. In the past, she was hired by Barnes and Noble in DC for Harry Potter release parties.
