Nancy Ortiz

Life Coach &

Empowerment Specialist

I know what it feels like to have the rug pulled out from under you. After navigating a divorce, completely reinventing my career, and rising to leadership in my field, all while learning to put myself first, I discovered something powerful: the women who seem the most "put together" on the outside are often the ones quietly falling apart on the inside.


With over 20 years as a school counselor,

I have spent my career helping others find their footing. Now, through Own Your Power, LLC, I bring that same dedication along with my own hard-won wisdom, to women who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving.

A GROUNDED PARTNER FOR YOUR NEXT STEPS

At Own Your Power, LLC, we guide women who feel lost and invisible back to themselves, through transformative coaching rooted in resilience, self-love, and the belief that it's never too late to rise.

 

We equip women with the tools, mindset, and community to reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and step boldly into the life they deserve.

ROOM TO BECOME MORE Y0URSELF

I am living proof that reinvention is possible at any stage. That a positive mindset isn't toxic positivity, it's a practice. That self-care isn't selfish, it's survival. And that the most powerful thing a woman can do is finally choose herself.


I am a Life Coach, the Founder of Own Your Power, LLC, and a former school counselor with over 20 years of experience working with young people in Newark and Jersey City. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from New Jersey City University and an M.S.Ed in Counseling & Personal Services from Fordham University.


My coaching draws on both professional expertise and personal experience; navigating divorce, reinventing my career, and discovering what it truly means to put myself first. I work with women who feel lost or invisible, helping them reclaim their confidence, clarify their direction, and build lives rooted in purpose and fulfillment.
Because owning your power isn't something that happens to you. It's a choice you make and I am here to help you make it.

What I Bring to You — Core Strengths

These are the pillars of my lived experience that ground every coaching session:

 

  • Life after divorce

  • Career reinvention

  • Rising to leadership

  • Mindset mastery

  • Self-care & self-love

Your next chapter starts with one decision. Let's write it together.
