We Are Catalysts for Change

We at the Women’s Image Institute® stand for living a life that is Love In Full Expression. When women have faith in a better future, they not only experience better futures they help make them possible for others.

We also stand for using the simple act of dressing to deepen and enrich women’s lives and the lives of others. When a woman feels alive and beautiful in her clothes, she connects with herself and the world in the most fantastic ways! She makes miracles!

To fulfill our calling, we provide access to instant, on-line tools, courses, and e-books, or for those who prefer the in-person touch, we offer two extraordinary live workshops, Dress Your Essence® and the Miracle Project.

Personal Message from Nicole, Mertes, AICI, CIP
Founder and Executive Director
Women’s Image Institute™

Why am I passionate about helping women glow? Because in my years as an advisor to corporations and individuals, I have seen thousands of successful women who have lost their ability to glow with optimism and a full measure of self-acceptance and self-appreciation. It’s a paradox that no one talks about!

I’ve seen the long-term effects first hand—how mothers pass this on to their daughters and how our society suffers. However, I have also seen how shifts in perception can change everything. When a woman looks at herself in the mirror and likes what she sees both inside and out, the world responds in kind.

I have offered transformational training since 1974. My instructional designs have received the Outstanding Product Award, by the International Society for Performance and Instruction for their positive results. In 1999, I sold my management training/software firm to found the Women’s Image Institute®.

A mind, body, soul approach is required

I’m ready to engage outside of the box to work with the whole woman, mind, body and soul, to tap the source of her own unlimited potential. The focus is in two arenas: how to use the simple act of dressing as a catalyst for change and how to conduct an inspired project.

I see transformation every day and thrill at helping others learn how to create a life that transcends the ordinary. My methods are clear and powerful. I especially love to transform complicated but highly useful concepts into practical and easily applied tools for change.

My expertise is eclectic

I am certified in Quantum Energetic Disciplines© which enables me to clear areas where people, situations, and old patterns limit your life. My certification in Brain Gym® which is a learning readiness program used in school systems all over the world, enables me to teach in a way that both deepens comprehension and makes learning more enjoyable.

I have also been certified as an Image Professional, one of fewer than 100 such professionals worldwide to receive this designation through the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI). I have served on the Board of AICI and produced their international conference in 2005. When a woman dresses from the unlimited potential of her soul, she becomes an attractive and powerful catalyst for change!
