Nicole Burk is a self-proclaimed people enthusiast! She is the HR Manager for Polyram Compounds and more importantly the momma of the most wonderful little boy in the world, Noah. She also has 2 cats and 2 dogs. Nicole has a passion for helping people heal their trauma and has an uncomfortable amount of empathy due to all of the trauma she, herself, has survived as well. She has overcome a very tumultuous childhood and teen years and had seemed to really be the come back kid story blossoming into a wonderful flourishing and thriving life as a successful woman. Then she experienced more trauma and it seemed after the loss of businesses, another marriage and her entire world crumbling around her, that life would never be the same again. And she was correct, it isn't the same. It is better. Life comes in waves. Nicole believes that with intentionality and deep healing we can do course correction at the most pivotal moments in our lives by giving over our problematic cycles and pain to our higher power, her's being Christ.
