All too often we focus on what's wrong and trying to find "the answers" to fix everything. Instead, Nicole’s work is based on emphasizing that you are already whole.

Her practice is largely influenced by the work of Kathy Kain, Peter Levine, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Chris Dierkes. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®️, Feldenkrais Practitioner®️, and yoga teacher, her knowledge of the body, mind, and soul greatly influences how she supports others from a very intuitive, energetic, and somatic place. As someone who both values and sees self-exploration, healing, and spiritual practice as being vital for transformation, her intention is to support others in gaining greater access to the pieces that are blocking them from feeling more alive and whole.

Time in nature, connection with friends and family, and movement of all kinds are important to her and you’ll often find her out on walks with her dog, surfing, mountain biking, SUP’ing, and enjoying people's company, usually accompanied by delicious food!

Golden Nuggets From This Episode:

✨ “Nervous System is the communication between our brain and our body and our body and our brain.”

✨ “The job of the autonomic nervous system is to really give messages to the brain and the body around "Am I safe" or "Do I need to respond to danger".”

✨ “Sometimes we're looking for a more complicated answers on what to do, but it's pretty amazing just pause and be with your experience.”

✨ “Our emotions, our experiences are all just energy in motion, so when we learn to pause and support and hold what is we've actually healed a layer or an aspect of our trauma that's causing us to respond and be triggered by these certain situations.”

✨ “There is nothing to fix and you're already whole.”

✨ “Not every tool needs to work for you.”

✨ “It is important to recognize that trauma isn't about the event, trauma is about how we didn't get to complete our response to the event.”

✨ “Shut down happens when everything becomes too much.  We freeze, we put the brakes on everything and we don't feel any of that fight flee energy or that alert energy.”

✨ “Survival patterns are ways to protect ourselves from experiencing the trauma.”

✨ “The more we untangle the ways we've learned to survive through our patterns, and the ways we're stuck in our response cycle, the more we can access who we really are.”

✨ “We are designed to be in the community. We are designed to experience a sense of belonging, togetherness, unity, and working as a team to contribute, evolve, and move through this life as a human. ”

✨ “Trauma causes a disconnect from self and from others.”

✨ “The more we can recognize what it feels like to be held in the space of "I'm here with you", "I see you". The more we can experience that from other people, the more we can also hold that for other people. The more intern we all benefit from. I really believe that the world will be such a different place if we all knew how to just drop into "I'm here with you, I see you"
