Meet Nerissa Trindade
Hi, I'm Nerissa
Before we dive into introductions, I want you to know that you're amazing and I believe in you!
For the longest time in my life, I never once thought I was amazing — or even good enough. As a kid, I was always told that everything about me was wrong, from the way I walked and talked to how I dressed and did my hair.
I tried to fit in, to make myself invisible, just so the bullying and beating would stop. But I failed every time. Eventually, I lost my voice, my confidence, and my light.
When I finally hit rock bottom, I realised I'd nowhere left to go but up.
It took years of relentless deep work and countless breakdowns and breakthroughs to become the person I was born to be.
But after that long, painful, and terrifying journey of self-discovery, I finally found the courage to come out to the world as my real, authentic and unapologetic self. Piece by piece, I rebuilt my confidence, claimed my truth, and discovered my voice.
And I haven't looked back since.
Now as an international keynote speaker, neuro-transformational coach, and author, I empower leaders and changemakers to unlock their full potential and powerfully share their stories to transform and impact lives.
So let me say it again just in case you didn't fully embrace it the first time — YOU are amazing, I believe in you, and I can't wait to dive into all the awesome things we're gonna do together!
My Why
My mission is simple: to empower you to grow into the best version of yourself, transform your life and lead the way for others to rise. I want to be the coach, leader and mentor I wish I had as a kid — to help people stand, stay and soar in their truth and create safe spaces where each person feels seen, heard, understood, respected, accepted and valued just as who they are.

Fun facts
As someone born and raised in India, I don't drink tea or coffee, have a terribly low spice threshold and don't watch cricket either! I live with my very cute and thoroughly spoilt, 7 year toy cavoodle, who I had zero intention of getting and now can't live without. When I’m not speaking or facilitating, you can find me on stage in a different avatar – performing at modeling, dancing and drag king shows!
