NADINE ZUMOT
Behavioral Finance & Somatic Practitioner
My Area of Focus
I support women in leadership who have built good lives, impressive careers, thriving businesses, and big responsibilities, yet are ready to stop living by old survival rules and start enjoying more of what they have built.
My areas of focus include financial stress and anxiety, emotional spending, financial avoidance, overgiving, scarcity-based thinking, difficulty receiving, people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-responsibility, burnout, boundaries, self-trust, and recurring patterns that no longer serve the person they are becoming.
More broadly, I work with women who have become exceptionally good at managing, achieving, and surviving, but want more choice, ease, vitality, support, pleasure, emotional resilience, and aliveness in their lives.
My work is especially suited to women who are curious not only about what they do, but about what a recurring behavior may still be protecting them from or providing for them underneath the surface.
My approach combines behavioral finance coaching with somatic, nervous-system-informed practices.
I am currently completing a three-year advanced-level training in Somatic Experiencing® (SE), a body-based approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine. SE works with awareness of body sensations, nervous-system responses, impulses, emotions, and internal resources to help people build greater capacity to stay present and respond more flexibly during stress.
Rather than focusing only on thoughts or behavior, I may invite a client to notice what is happening in the body as we explore a situation. For example, tension, activation, settling, an impulse to withdraw, or an increased sense of safety and capacity.
Within behavioral finance coaching, I explore the emotional, behavioral, relational, and contextual factors influencing financial decisions. This may include identifying triggers, recurring patterns, underlying beliefs, and the less-obvious benefits a behavior may still be providing.
Nadine's Bio
Nadine “Nadz” Zumot is a Somatic Practitioner, Behavioral Finance Coach, and Certified Money Coach (CMC®) whose work explores the intersection of money, nervous-system patterns, emotional well-being, and behavior change.
She is the founder of Save A Million Cents, LLC, where she has supported individuals and groups experiencing financial stress, emotional spending, avoidance, shame, overgiving, scarcity-based thinking, and difficulty translating financial knowledge into sustainable change.
Nadine holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Food Science and has completed professional training in behavioral finance, money coaching, the Trauma of Money methodology, Integrative Somatic Parts Work through The Embody Lab, and Somatic Experiencing®, where she is currently completing advanced-level training.
Her work brings together behavioral finance, psychoeducation, nervous-system awareness, compassion, and practical experimentation. She is particularly interested in the gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it when stress, fear, shame, or longstanding protective patterns are activated.
Having lived in Jordan, France, Australia, and the United States, Nadine also brings a cross-cultural perspective to conversations about money, family expectations, responsibility, belonging, success, and what it means to feel truly resourced.
At the heart of her work is a simple belief: unwanted behaviors make far more sense when we understand what they have been trying to accomplish for us.
Rather than approaching change through shame or rigid self-control, Nadine helps clients build greater self-understanding, self-trust, and capacity for new choices.
