Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nina Boyce, a Certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Hormone Coach based in Columbus, OH, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

At Nourished With Nina, I support women in preventing pregnancy hormone-free and with 99% accuracy. My online coaching program, LUNA, focuses on helping clients transition off of birth control, support their natural hormones, and prevent pregnancy with the Fertility Awareness Method. I also offer a VIP private hormone and fertility coaching program. Most of my customers are women in their peak menstruating years looking to avoid pregnancy naturally or conceive with ease!

Tell us about yourself

I became interested in women's health and fertility after struggling with my own health as a busy middle school choir teacher. I was burnt out (and stressed out), and my body and my hormones were struggling to keep up. I was struggling with anxiety, painful and heavy periods, headaches, and extreme fatigue.

This led me down the path to becoming a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. From there, I began working with clients 1:1 and focusing my work on women's hormones and fertility. This led me to my Fertility Awareness Certification, where I now help hundreds of women transition off birth control, balance their hormones, and naturally prevent pregnancy!

I am motivated every single day by my work when I see the immense health improvements (both physically and mentally) that my clients experience. Once they learn how to reconnect to their menstrual cycle and balance their body after years on hormonal birth control...everything begins to "click." It is such a joy supporting these women, and I can't imagine myself in any other profession.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Launching my online Fertility Awareness Method course and membership, LUNA. This online course supports women in using FAM for 99% birth control accuracy and/or conception with the addition of a 6-month complimentary coaching membership. Since LUNA launched in Oct of 2021, we have had over 200 women join the program, and the community continues to grow and expand! :)

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

I miss the collaboration of working with a full team. When I was a teacher, there were so many people (and students!) to communicate with all day. Sometimes being a small business owner lacks the physical community and energy of "going to the office." I miss that sometimes! But you have to find your community in more unique ways - that has been fun too.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Count every small win! It is easy to compare yourself to other similar businesses in your field. Don't forget to celebrate yourself for every little thing you're accomplishing in your business - big or small!
  2. Investing in your business is one of the best things you can do. You don't have to struggle or go at it alone. Hiring a business coach or taking a course that will help push you to the "next level" can be invaluable.
  3. We all have ups and downs in business. Keep pushing towards your goals and understand that this entrepreneurship journey isn't linear, which makes it so exciting. YOU are the creator of your success which is super empowering!
