Why Speakers Like Me Belong in Technical Conferences:
Most technical summits focus on tooling and infrastructure, but few address the human system behind the work. Engineers and startup leaders operate under constant pressure, with little training on how to regulate stress, manage emotions, or navigate team dynamics.

As a former tech consultant turned somatic relationship coach, I help high-performing men and founders master their internal systems through emotional intelligence, breathwork, and nervous system awareness. My clients include developers, architects, CTOs, and CEOs who want to lead with clarity and scale without burnout. Talks like mine bring real value by supporting the humans behind the code.

Bio:

She currently serves as Coach in Residence for an AI startup, where she brings emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, and embodied leadership into the heart of innovation and team culture.

With a background in executive consulting and over a decade of experience in somatic therapy, subconscious reprogramming, and trauma-informed coaching, Nita bridges modern leadership with ancient embodiment wisdom. Her work combines neuroscience, breathwork, and polarity dynamics to help high-achieving men reclaim grounded masculine presence and lead with clarity in both love and business.

She is the founder of SoulEmbodiment™ and Extraordinary Love™, transformational programs that guide visionary leaders through emotional mastery, nervous system resilience, and conscious relational leadership.

In addition to speaking and facilitating, Nita offers private 1:1 coaching, immersive intensives, and retreats that support deep personal transformation.
