​

I’m Nicchaeus Doaks. I was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and raised in the small rural town of Trenton, Tennessee. Having been adopted at a young age, I grew up with a deep curiosity about human nature—always trying to understand others, searching for a sense of belonging, and working to find my own way. To help guide me, I turned to sports. That passion led to a highly decorated high school basketball career and ultimately earned me a full athletic scholarship to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

​

During my time in college, I came to realize that there is no such thing as coincidence—everything is part of a divine plan. I went on to earn a degree in psychology and achieved a lifelong childhood dream when I received the opportunity to play professional basketball. My career spanned 11 seasons playing abroad across various countries. However, the natural ebbs and flows of being a professional athlete brought significant challenges, including unresolved trauma, performance anxiety, and an identity crisis. Navigating those obstacles forced me to turn inward, confront who I truly was, develop deep self-awareness, and adopt practices to support my overall well-being.

​

Now, in my life after sports, I focus on cultivating those same transformative practices and offering them as services to help others on their own journeys.
