FINDING WELL-BEING FROM WITHIN

Nicole knows that true wellness is not all green juices and workout classes. In her teens, her own wellness journey began in an unconventional way– a cancer diagnosis. At the age of fourteen, she was sitting in a hospital bed for the very first time, hooked up to IVs of blood and platelets, and hearing the words, "You have leukemia."

​

​At the time, she simply wanted to survive this illness and get through high school. It was during her recovery post-cancer treatment that she realized there was more to living than just surviving life, which led her to explore what well-being truly encompasses.

​

In many ways, she became her own first coaching client. She took inventory of where she was– a new college student, post-cancer treatment, feeling less than optimal in mind, body, and spirit– and began taking steps toward living a healthier life. Sustainable well-being was born through lifestyle changes, like adopting a plant-based diet, daily mindfulness exercises, and prioritizing movement.

​

Since stepping onto this path, Nicole has graduated with her Bachelor's from Marist College, then went on to earn her Master's in Psychology and Spirituality and Mind-Body studies from Columbia University. She is also proud to be a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.​

​

As a coach, Nicole wants you to find well-being from within. When working with clients, she takes a strengths-based approach and infuses positive psychology, self-compassion, and mindfulness into every session. She enjoys working with clients of all ages and abilities and partners with her clients to achieve their wellness goals. 

​​​

In addition to her private practice, Nicole works as Head of Coaching at Lief Therapeutics,  provides wellness sessions to childhood cancer warriors for the With Grace Initiative, and is developing a memoir with Book Inc. 

​

Her first book, Courageous Well-Being for Nurses, was released by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2023.
