I came to Nicole during a very depleted time in my life. I was overwhelmed in unusual ways, both with my health and the health of my child. I choose to engage with her on her 6 week intensive Foundation to Thrive program and I am overjoyed that I did. Addressing my health meant finding the peace in my storm, considering my food choices, and focusing on what really mattered to me. She has an extensive knowledge of health issues, and was constantly coming up with creative solutions to address mine. She lead each of my sessions with inspiration, consideration and grace. In shifting small behaviors I noticed I was able to manage the demands on me as a mother and those that were there due to my Lyme disease and Sibo infection. She suggested action plans and modalities that started to make sense to me and, embracing her wisdom, I felt our collective perspective guiding my path.
Once per week she and I engaged in Qi gong and meditation together. Despite the virtual format, I welcomed these practices. Her soothing voice helped me lean into the meditation and then, when I was ready, we shifted over to Qi Gong. I was able to follow along with her graceful movements ( she is an ice skater after all) and felt the movement/breathing combination gave me a clarity of energy for the rest of my day.
I highly recommend working with Nicole.

" I worked with Nicole after my cancer journey. She had so much knowledge to help me get back on my feet. She guided me through such a challenging time, my body and spirit were at an all time low. What an inspiration she is. Wish I had known about her during my cancer treatments. Her knowledge and experience gave me hope when I thought things would never get better. We uncovered unconscious beliefs that kept me sick and in fear. I also had 6 Reiki treatments and with each session I could feel my energy coming back. I have a new sense of vitality and confidence. Highly recommend her!

The 21day Sugar Detox led by Nicole was incredibly helpful and motivating! I really struggle to follow through with things like this on my own, but being part of a group made it fun and relatively easy. Nicole is a fabulous, knowledgeable and enthusiastic coach who genuinely LOVES to share her wisdom and help her participants succeed. Her background makes her perfect for this task and she responds thoughtfully to any individual challenges that may arise for people along the way. The book provides a helpful guide in between weekly check ins. I was able to shift some stubborn pounds and get the ball rolling with a weight loss goal. I feel so much better after eating really clean food for 4 weeks. I HIGHLY recommend this cleanse, you will not find better value for your money for this level of personalized care and expertise!

"I had regularly scheduled coaching sessions with Nicole over a six month period. I found them incredibly insightful and felt that I made tremendous progress in my personal growth. I found Nicole to be a very patient coach and I felt that I was being listened to and heard. She also used her own intuition to help guide the session with great effect. This all made me feel as if I was in very safe hands. The effect on my life has been amazing. I feel that I've cleared some long standing issues and am very excited about this chapter in my life!"

Thank you for your enthusiastic support on this journey. Your commitment, with initial phone calls, and then several texting check-ins each week was much appreciated. And then the weekly group zoom meetings cemented it all together. All this practical and emotional support was key! Yes, I needed to give up sugar for myself, but your mentoring and the group approach helped keep me on the straight path. I'm still off the sugar, going into week six now, and cautiously experimenting with adding wheat and fruits. I did lose 5 pounds (which shows how many of my calories used to be from deserts!), so I'm going to try some protein powder drinks to gain the weight back.

" Working with Nicole has been helpful on so many levels. I learned about other practitioners and was able to find a functional medicine doctor in my area that was a game changer for my health. Having someone hold me accountable to my diet was very helpful. I was so overwhelmed doing it on my own- definitely recommend her support!"

" I was was dealing with so much grief and chronic pain. I had one incredible session and booked 5 more. Every session went deeper to discover more layers of long held grief. I released so much in these sessions, my pain level went down and ability to handle what was present each day more. I highly recommend working with her! "

I am so grateful to have worked with Nicole during my chemo journey. I was so overwhelmed and fearful of the whole process. Because she had "been there and done that" I felt so understood and cared for. Her toolkit for handling the side effects along with all the emotional stuff that came up was priceless! EVERYONE going through this should experience this kind of support! I 100% recommend working with her!!
