Nicole is curious, creative, and a lover of nature. She is also the mother of two small boys and an advocate for self-care. Her work is based on a collection of studies, passions, and tools that have helped her and many others feel more at peace. Her hope to assist others in finding happiness and well-being in this complex and fast-paced world.
Nicole began studying yoga philosophy as a teenager and found that yoga helped her battle depression and low self-esteem as a teenager and continues to be an integral part of her life. At 18, she became a certified Yoga Instructor through the Sivananda Yoga Ashram. In 1999, she graduated from the Arizona School of Integrative Studies and then completed their Massage Teacher Training program. While maintaining a private massage practice, Nicole worked with Wells Fargo for 8 years and home-schooled her two boys up to 2nd and 4th grade.
Once Nicole began meditating daily, it became very clear to her that she wanted to share the simple techniques that cultivate inner peace and self-love, so she became certified to teach meditation and mindfulness. “Through meditation and mindfulness we can find self-awareness, and through bodywork and movement, we can support the physical demands of our busy schedules. When we take the time to learn and apply self-care, we can more easily maintain healthy relationships, balanced schedules, and peaceful minds,” Nicole says.
Nicole currently works at the McLean Meditation Institute and is a Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Instructor and MMI Mindful® Trainer who loves to teach anyone to learn to meditate. She is based in Sedona, Arizona.
