I first came across Nick when I was feeling super flat and my husband shared an Instagram Reel that resonated with me. I took a leap of faith and signed up for the Breakthrough Program, despite being based in Melbourne so the sessions would be on Zoom.
I ended up working with Nick for most of the year, and now when I look back on it, I see it as one of the most defining decisions of my life.
I find it hard to put into words the shift the coaching has had on how I see myself, think, and now lead my life. It's been a year of truly exploring who I am and sharing the "mess" I had learned to keep hidden from others all these years.
Through a combination of Nick's gentle nudging, lack of judgment, and helpful tools, he held me accountable every step of the way to becoming my fully authentic gay self.
As a result, being a Happy Homo is now my default.
The experience has had a profound impact in all kinds of unexpected ways, from deepening my relationships and learning to embrace a redundancy, to being genuinely proud of how much I've grown and exploring my own coaching journey.
It's the most incredible gift to have my hard work on myself multiplied 1000x by Nicks coaching.
Thank you Nick, my life won't ever be the same đź’›

Working with Nick has honestly been such a positive shift for me. I wanted something that actually complemented therapy, something action-focused, future-focused, and not heavy, and that’s exactly what I got and am continuing to get. He holds me accountable in a way that feels real but never intense, and he’s genuinely so easy to talk to.
Since we started, I’m way clearer in my thinking. I’m in a much better headspace to explore romantic relationships, I’m calmer with the challenges of running a business, and I’ve become really aware of the pressure I naturally put on myself (especially in the way I talk about things and the language I use).
We've encouraged myself to try new things and experiences, push myself out of comfort zones and just be more present in life and take action. One of the biggest wins has been realising there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being a little more selfish in life… and I actually love that for me.
Nick is warm, friendly, and very no-bullshit. If you want someone who will sugar-coat things or let you slide, he’s not your guy. But if you want real change in how you think, feel, and show up in your life, then honestly — go for it!

I came across Nick's content on Instagram and immediately felt seen. His reels about the challenges gay men face, especially around performing rather than just being, really hit different.
After a big breakup, I thought I'd healed. Traveled the world, transformed my body, worked on myself externally. But I kept falling into the same patterns like people-pleasing, saying yes when I meant no, staying in situations that didn't serve me just to avoid disappointing others.
Nick gave me actual tools I could use in real situations, not just theory. But the thing is, I had to do the work! Learning to notice and reframe my limiting beliefs, naming my feelings, sitting with discomfort instead of acting on it, choosing what genuinely serves me. It's hard work, but the kind that's worth it. Nick taught me to be gentle with myself while still pushing forward.
Once I started pushing myself, I started noticing the difference. I took my shirt off at the beach for the first time in years. I even published a story on Instagram showing half my body, something I've never done before! I ended a relationship that wasn't right and held my boundary when guilt tried to pull me back. I'm starting to understand what self-love actually feels like, and honestly, I finally get what feeling at peace is like.
I know improving my day-to-day is ongoing work. But I feel like I can do it because I've proved to myself what I'm capable of. Future me is going to be even better because I finally have the tools to keep choosing myself.
If you've done the work externally but are still stuck in old patterns, work with Nick. He gets it because he's lived it. He's vulnerable about his own experiences, which creates an incredibly safe space. Plus he actually cares. You're not just a number!
I'm so grateful to Nick. The work he does matters and it's 100% worth it đź’š

Thanks Jaime! What an epic ride you've been on đź’›
I stumbled across Nick and immediately felt a connection to his message, and knew that working with him was the right path for me. I was at a crossroads in life, full of questions and emotional noise. The journey has been both deep and light at the same time. Nick helped simplify what I had been overcomplicating, supported me in turning down the noise, and guided me to see myself in a far more loving way.
Along the way, we’ve laughed, learned, and held real respect for the process. Nick is the real deal, a wonderfully happy human (coach) paving the way and inviting us all to come along. I’m so glad I did.

Thanks Taylor! I'm so glad you came along too đź’›
My only regret is that I didn’t connect with The Happy Human Project Sunday Service crew sooner! But in the spirit of “better late than never” I am so glad that I did join this community before the HHP Sunday Service wrapped up. Amazing community; thanks to Nick and the HHP crew for creating this beautiful community.

Thanks for the lovely words Fiona, you super dunker!
Before finding Nick at one of his Sunday ice bath services late last year I was struggling emotionally, I didn’t love myself, I didn't care about myself, and that hurt. I was really sad and lonely.
I felt so lost, I felt like no one cared about me, even though I knew that they did. I was not me.
After 3 months working with Nick, my spark, my joy, and most importantly hope has come back into my life, and it's been, dare I say - It's been life changing.
If you are ready to make positive change - do what I did and take the chance on yourself and on Nick.

Hi, my name's Dominic.
Before I met Nick, I was feeling a lack of purpose, self-worth and consistency.
I felt really aware of everything but couldn’t understand and get a grip of my emotions. I always felt I was lacking behind and overall, never felt good enough.
I held on to the past so tightly, hoping it would bring comfort and needed constant validation from most aspects of my life.
During Nicks coaching, I won’t lie it felt like it was going to be like a placebo effect, like I had to tell myself that it was making difference. That’s what it felt like at first. Due to past experiences, I was sceptical.
After a few weeks into the program I suddenly felt a switch, a bit of a light bulb moment, a realisation. Initially I was reluctant to lean into this but as the weeks went by everything just felt better and better. I gained consistency within my emotions. I began to not concern myself with the past and I finally began to realise my worth.
It is honestly the best I’ve felt in years! I’ve gained emotional growth and freedom.
Thanks you so much Nick, reflecting back I have so many good things to say but what I appreciated the most and what worked for well for me personally was your ability to be professional but personable at the same time. You managed to break down barriers that I didn’t even know I had
The tools that you have given me and the adjustments that we worked on have already had such a positive effect and are truly life changing.
Thanks again Nick, big hug!
Dom x

Thanks Dominic! It's been such a joy seeing you transform đź’›
Before Nick and I started working together, I had found myself feeling flat, lacking confidence, and caught in unhelpful cycles of overthinking. It felt like I was stuck on repeat, second-guessing myself in so many areas of life. Deep down, I knew I wanted change, but I wasn’t sure how to break out of the pattern or whether I could overcome it on my own. That uncertainty left me feeling a bit lost about what direction to take next.
Nick created a safe and welcoming space where I could talk about absolutely anything without judgement. He understood what I was going through and gave me the tools to build on strengths I didn’t even realise I had. His support made the process feel easy and natural, and I always felt encouraged to keep moving forward. He helped me set clear, achievable goals, and often checked in with me so I felt supported and accountable along the way.
Now, I have a new sense of happiness and confidence that I carry into all areas of my life. I feel ready for new experiences and know I can continue to apply what I’ve learnt as I move ahead and face whatever comes next. Working with Nick has been the best decision I’ve made for myself, and I’d recommend him to anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or in need of a bit of direction. Thank you, Nick, for everything you’ve done.

Thanks Beau! Such a pleasure to have been able to help in your happiness journey đź’›
I came to Nick to help me through a tricky period of transition in my life - he has been an excellent coach, and made a real difference with a seemingly effortless approach to tackling complicated challenges. He has helped me be clear about my goals and values, and bring them to the forefront of my life in a meaningful way... to (yes) make me happier and more fulfilled. I'd highly recommend Nick if you're wanting to be a 'Happier Human'.

Thanks Karl! Grateful for you trusting the process and reaping the rewards đź’›
I feel fantastic! Nick’s been coaching me for the past couple of months and the changes have been evident. I went from feeling lacklustre about life to feeling energised. I went from a life with little purpose to one where my purpose is clearly defined. I understand what my values are and how they affect me in my day to day life. I’ve defined what’s most important to me in my life and made significant steps to achieving them. I can’t recommend Nick’s coaching program enough for anyone but especially for gay men who may have reached a bit of a meh point in their life and are wondering how to move forward or recapture some of that sparkle they used to have. For me personally I’m rebuilding my friendship circle, am volunteering at a community organisation aligned to my values and have made exercise a part of my routine again. I’m making more time for things that bring me joy and focusing on the good. As Nick likes to say we’re a work in progress and I kind of like that about myself. If you want a little taster of the good stuff get yourself along to one of the ice bath sessions too which come included as part of the coaching.

Thanks Jeremy! It's been amazing to see and contribute to the joy in you again đź’›
Nick is a wonderful life coach and listener that really helped support me as i worked through working out my goals when i didnt have any. He really helped tap into parts of myself that had long lay dormant and find the spark again that gave me the bravery to make a change and find a goal and direction to work towards again. Thanks Nick for listening to my ramblings and providing useful tools to help me move forward and not be afraid of change.
