"I had a wonderful session with Nicole. To be honest, it was a bit of an earthquake to my soul. It shook me and changed my energy. It lit a fire in me and I've been hyper aware of my needs, perspective, and what I want. The session coincided with potentially the end of certain cycles in my life and I've had some big feelings since, that I am still working through. I am grateful for Nicole's guidance and opening up a door for some real, sleeping feelings to awaken and emerge."

"I completed 5 sessions with Nicole, and found that they had a way of bringing me home to myself. I experienced an important combination of safety; cocooned safety, and an invitation to travel. The journey guided by gentle suggestions, open while integral to the work. The sessions offered powerful opportunities to return to breath through the physical practice, thus, reminding, re-training, settling me into that essential pattern of movement, that which forms the solidarity for "I AM" and all that I do."

"My first session with Nicole created awareness of my default way of being and new possible internal pathways. I released pain and ways I've been relating to my body. I felt more equanimity and letting go in general. The session was revealing, deep, gentle, supportive and immensely pain relieving.
In following sessions, I experienced a considerable decrease in neuropathic pain for some time afterwards. Emotional pain surfaced with some insight/awareness of my ability to gently move forward. My body feels very different. I feel grounded, more clear, with a sense of freedom and little to no chronic pain. I feel much more trust in life and my ability to resource and connect. I feel more sense of connection to purpose on the right path."

"This was such a wonderful experience; the magical atmosphere that Nicole has put together, brings you such a loving and caring space. I am so grateful for Nicole in helping guide me to my breath and needed intentions. I feel a lot less stress and a bit lighter after seeing her. I look forward to doing this again."

"Nicole's Breathwave ceremony surpassed my expectations. It really was like no other breath work I've ever experienced. I breathed the whole time, the way Nicole explained to do so. I was very surprised at the amount of physical sensation I felt in my body. You have to experience this for yourself. I felt a connection to a source of energy that I've only heard people talk about. I felt powerful. I am grateful for the realizations that came to me. In the following days I still feel the energy in me. I feel peaceful and content two days later and more connected to my body and not my thoughts. I look forward to participating in another ceremony with Nicole."

Nicole was one of my guides for a week long mountaineering expedition with Outward Bound Veterans program.
Her personal skills and patience made me feel confident on many occasions throughout the week. Being a veteran herself it was very easy to connect with her as you could tell when conversing with her that no judgements were being made.
This trust also carried over to my apparent fear of heights where I was roped to her traversing a ledge and she literally had my life in her hands. I'm not sure how I would have faired without her.

"The highlight of the trip for me was learning about backcountry hiking and being with others in recovery. Nicole was wicked! I wouldn't wish for anyone else to be our guide."
"The hut, the mountain, the summit and yoga were my highlights. Nicole was encouraging, approachable, compassionate and kind. She's just an incredible person and very organized. I was impressed by her patience and adaptability. This trip helped me on my recovery path; it lit a new fire under me and I'm proud of myself for accomplishing this."
"It felt so good to be up there; like I could touch the moon and the milky way. This trip will forever be ingrained in my mind and heart. Nicole is a very patient and tough cookie. I am inspired by the display of resiliency, braveness and courage to overcome, despite what happened in the past. It solidified my faith in other people and helped me see that I am not alone with my problems."
"Nicole was amazing. I felt like she gave everything the group needed. It didn't seem to be too much for her, which was a good reminder for me to believe in what I could do. The highlight for me was increased self awareness. I have changed so much in sobriety."
