About Nicole
I am passionate about helping others learn how to restore balance and tap into their ability to create connectedness within and to the web of life!
As a Registered Nurse since 2009, I have loved the balance of using my nursing skills, alongside helping others on their journey through the healing arts. As a Yoga Teacher and Reiki Practitioner, I am a healing guide to help serve and provide hope to others.
My family and I moved to Ashland, Oregon in April 2026, and have been discovering the beautiful area and community. We feel very grateful to be living in such a community centered area, full of so many enriching opportunities for us, and especially for our daughter.
In June 2000, I graduated from Ashmead Massage School in Vancouver, Washington and moved to Alaska where I practiced for a short time before becoming a dental assistant. I later moved back to Oregon to attend college, and became a Registered Nurse. My experience as a Massage Therapist ignited a curiosity about forms of energy work and other modalities of alternative healing. Although my career path changed course, my utilization of alternative healthcare and the slow incorporation of ancient healing practices into my life continued. I graduated from nursing school in 2009 and professionally accelerated as a Registered Nurse, but continued to feel like there was a key piece of myself missing.
In 2010, I began a journey of healing and self-discovery which led me on a path to incorporating yoga and meditation in my daily life. The sense of inner strength and stillness within helped to calm the turbulence that was being unpacked emotionally and physically from past experiences. The yoga asanas or postures helped to not only transform my physical body, but also the practice of mindfulness through meditation and other techniques, led me to break free from patterns of thinking and past pain that held me back from being in my true nature.
In 2015, I took a class by a well-respected healing practitioner in Portland, Oregon on the healing technique of Reiki energy healing. I used Reiki as a tool for my own personal path to healing, while integrating Kundalini Yoga as well into my daily practice. I continued to study and take more classes from various wonderful teachers, adding layers to my spiritual practice. My connection to Mother Earth and the healing properties of her elements led me to find solace and healing deeper within, while developing a passion to help others connect to their own true essence through energy work and yoga.
In June 2022, I completed RYS 200 Yoga Alliance Teacher Training and began to dedicate more time to provide yoga training and practice energy work with others. For private sessions, I use several healing modalities and meditation techniques to assist individuals with their progress to healing, balance, and other goal oriented needs. I am passionate about guiding others to learn how to connect and embody their vitality, strength, and wholeness within.
I am currently scheduling mobile appointments for private in-home Reiki energy work and Yoga sessions. For Reiki energy work, I have a table to bring to the comfort of your own home. I also provide Reiki sessions for pets too!
I offer in-home gentle Yoga sessions and postpartum Yoga support to new Mothers. After having my own baby in January 2025, I have been rediscovering my own body’s strength and wholeness, and now feel ready again to help others do the same!
