Food, Nourishment, and Hospitality

Water, Cleansing, and Hydration
Water is life, and intentional hydration is a daily act of core wellness.

Welcome
I'm Nicole McDonald
(Some call me Dr. Nicole)
Creative, Coach, and Developer of Soul & Story Creative
Soul & Story Creative is work that has been percolating in my brain & soul for a long time, probably since my early days of creating all sorts of decor and projects in my blue-paneled childhood bedroom where I hoarded the family tape, paper and scissors.
As a lifelong creative and a 30-year college professor and educational/school psychologist, I have developed a deep passion for supporting each person's holistic development and wellness through creativity, self-expression and sharing one's unique story with the world. Whether you are shopping for a unique gift, creating in the studio, or investing in your personal journey through life coaching, I am so glad that you are part of our inspired story at Soul & Story Creative.
