Nicole – Healer, Mover, Guide
Nicole’s journey began in cancer research at the NIH, but her heart led her away from the lab and into the world of holistic healing. With a deep belief in the body’s innate ability to restore itself, she transitioned from pharmaceuticals to physical therapy—combining science with movement, touch, and intention.
A lifelong dancer and athlete, Nicole sees movement not just as therapy, but as a path to vitality. After earning her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from NYU in 2002, she’s spent decades expanding her healing toolkit—becoming a Women’s Health Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Pilates Instructor, and Certified Health Coach.
Whether helping someone recover from pain or unlock new levels of performance, Nicole brings wisdom, heart, and a powerful reminder: your body is capable of more than you think. She leads with purpose, blending modern science with nature-inspired wellness practices to help others reclaim their health and live with joy.
Outside the clinic, Nicole finds magic in dance, nature, astrology, and motherhood. She’s traveled the country, touched countless lives, and continues to grow—driven by curiosity, compassion, and a calling to help others rise.
Nicole designs the individualized movement programs that live inside the Transcending Health Institute, our online platform. After a movement assessment, she builds a progressive plan of corrective exercise, strength work, mobility and Pilates-based control drills that you can follow from home between clinic visits. Programs are updated as you progress, with video demonstrations for each exercise and clear notes on how much, how often, and what to feel. This is how clients continue post-rehab training, prepare for a return to sport, or maintain the gains from massage and manual therapy when they cannot be in the clinic every week.
Online programs suit clients who cannot be in the clinic every week, people continuing post-rehab training at home, athletes preparing for a return to sport, and anyone who wants to keep the gains from massage and manual therapy between visits. Her background as a Women's Health Specialist, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Pilates Instructor and Certified Health Coach shapes plans that build strength, mobility and control at a realistic pace.
Every plan starts with a movement assessment. Nicole then builds a progressive program inside the Transcending Health Institute, with video demonstrations and clear notes on how much, how often and what to feel. As you get stronger, she updates the plan so it keeps matching where you are. Many clients pair an online plan with in-person sessions at our Rio Road clinic, so the work at home and the work in the clinic support each other.
Nicole brings a Doctorate from NYU, decades of experience and a dancer's eye for movement to every program she designs. Clients love that her plans are clear, realistic and easy to follow from home, with video demos and simple notes on what to feel. She blends science with genuine warmth and a belief that your body is capable of more than you think, which makes her a great guide for anyone who wants to keep their pain relief and recovery going between clinic visits.
Online program design pairs well with in-person personal training, post-rehab training and the Sports Recovery Stack. Use the Book Now button to schedule a consult, or call 434-465-2905 and ask about starting an online movement plan with Nicole.
