Who We Are?

The Relationship Couch is a platform dedicated to supporting the healing of the mind, body, and spirit in women, with a focus on women of color. Through a blend of knowledge and science with intuition and wisdom derived from many years of working with clients, I use many holistic tools, modalities, and techniques based on individual needs and presentations.

Nadine Smiley started The Relationship Couch in 2017. As a dedicated Functional Medicine and Trauma Recovery Practitioner, Nadine’s journey is marked by a diverse array of roles and achievements. Those include serving as a U.S. Navy veteran and mastering the skies as an air traffic controller.

Nadine’s passion for healing and wellness is both a profession and a calling. She holds certifications in Trauma Recovery, Herbalism, Mental Health First Aid, HeartMath, Human Design, Complex Trauma, Internal Family Systems, Clinical Trauma Specialist, Forward-Facing Trauma Practices, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. She also holds degrees in Complimentary and Alternative Medicine and Professional Writing. These qualifications enable her to offer a comprehensive, empathetic approach to healing, addressing the intricate web of the human experience. Nadine blends this knowledge to craft holistic healing and wellness solutions that honor the body, mind, and spirit.

Our mission is to empower individuals on their journey to wellness, offering coaching, support, and the tools necessary for healing and thriving. We believe in the transformative power of integrated and holistic care and are committed to nurturing resilience, balance, and harmony in the lives of those we work with.
