Nakia brings a thoughtful, insightful lens to this work, helping her clients honor their well-being, reclaim their self-worth, and reconnect with who they truly are.

Navigating her own relationship with money has been one of the most defining parts of her life, a process of unlearning generational beliefs, releasing shame, and reshaping her connection with money, and ultimately with herself.

Throughout Nakia’s 20+ year career in marketing, strategy, and business development, including work with private capital clients, ultra-high net worth individuals, and investors across the financial landscape, she has been in conversation with people across vastly different experiences and identities.

What those conversations revealed is that beneath roles, titles, and perceived differences, there is often a shared longing for a deeper sense of belonging, connection, and meaning.

Nakia is currently developing COLLECTIVA, an innovative platform that extends her work into the digital ecosystem, supporting creators, coaches, and community builders in designing intentional community spaces.

Nakia holds an MBA from Cornell University, a BA in Communication Studies from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and is a certified Trauma of Money™ Practitioner.

The Trauma of Money Professional Pathway certifies professionals in various fields in integrating the Trauma of Money Method into their current offerings. The TOM Method™ is a compassionate approach to trauma healing and financial security by decreasing shame and increasing discernment.
