"Since I started working with Nicole over a year ago, I have noticed a wider capacity to hold life's ups and downs. The space Nicole holds allows me to feel the big things I've stuffed down for years, finally bringing them to the surface to be processed. While it's not always easy, I always leave her office feeling witnessed and ready to make changes in my relationships and life, based on what my body is teaching me. There is truly no better gift you can give yourself than space like this to listen to and befriend your precious body! I've noticed a greater awareness of my body's signals, such as overwhelm arising or grief that I've pushed away. I've also noticed an ability I didn't know I had to simply be with these parts of myself, acknowledging each one until it shifts. This simple power is profound and truly life changing. Through this work, I've settled into a new depth in my own work as a healer, I've set firm boundaries in relationships, and I've called in some incredibly aligned friendships. I absolutely recommend working with Nicole if you're ready to befriend your body and skillfully work with your emotions. Nicole is a deeply grounded presence, and I believe she is one of the most skilled and embodied teachers I've ever worked with. Thank you, Nicole!"

“I have been working with Nicole for about one year now, and it has been so instrumental to my overall health and wellbeing. I had previously had more traditional CBT or mental health therapy, but since working with Nicole, I have had so many breakthroughs that I wasn't able to move past with traditional therapy. Nicole is so grounded, and compassionate, and provides a safe container for you to navigate big and difficult feelings. I recommend Nicole to all of my friends and clients who are feeling stuck, with physical and/or mental blocks that haven't been helped with more conventional treatments. If you have been thinking about Somatic-based coaching or aren't having success with more traditional solutions, I recommend Nicole- I am so grateful.”

“Nicole’s Eco Retreat was an incredible experience that I cannot recommend enough. Held intimately in community and surrounded by nature’s gifts, Nicole led us on a day of remembering and reconnection. Through meditation, movement, song, altar making, creek playing, laughter and tears, we remembered. We remembered our sacred connection to each other and Mother Earth. As I sat in a circle of beautiful humans surrounded by Dawn Redwoods, I was reminded of my belonging and connection to all of the beautiful parts of myself that I often forget. This experience was a reminder that I all need to do is come home to nature and I will find myself. Thank you, Nicole for helping me remember.”

“From the moment I signed up, I was looking forward to the eco-somatic retreat. Spending a full day immersed in nature, in community, and in quiet connection with myself was deeply nourishing. The retreat was beautifully held and thoughtfully structured by Nicole, who created a safe, welcoming space for exploration, healing, and even play.

We moved at a really wonderful pace and flowed through the day. We walked the land, shared reflections, and engaged in practices that helped us reconnect with our bodies and the earth. Nicole provided everything we needed to feel supported, including a delicious lunch, nourishing snacks, and space for all of our feelings- big and small.

Over a week later, I’m still carrying a sense of wonder from the experience. The insights and shifts that came from simply slowing down and listening to nature, to my body, to others, and to the moment have stayed with me. I’m so grateful to Nicole and the group for such a transformative and heart-opening day.”

“I found the Sacred Sisters serendipitously two years ago when I was going through an extremely painful life transition. I knew I desperately needed community, but as an introvert with a history of trauma, I didn’t quite know how to create it for myself. Showing up felt vulnerable and brave. What I discovered at that first circle was a safe and nurturing place for my scared and stumbling self to practice what it is to truly be in community, just as I am. I’ve learned to bring what I have, (even if all I’ve got to share are deep breaths and messy tears) as a worthy offering to the magic we co-create together. The true gift of this circle is an absence of hierarchy. No one is above or below, better or less than.

Our culture taught me to compete with and fear other women, but when we gather in circle together, we are all equals. We all have a unique gift to share and we help each other remember that truth. We are each lovingly held and valued. While each biweekly group is guided by skilled and thoughtful facilitators, the circle of women who gather is ever shapeshifting, and the energies and gifts of those who attend touch everyone and enhance the richness of the themes we gather to explore. I’ve made soul-deep connections through this group and cherished friendships. I’ve found mentors and healers and truly lovely people whose mere presence has impacted me deeply. I invite you to be brave and vulnerable and come experience this magic with us. We need you, too.”

“I’m so grateful for the Sacred Sisters circle. Every time I go, I leave feeling lighter, more connected, and deeply grounded. It’s a space where women can show up authentically. I value the facilitation centered on sharing, creating, and being fully ourselves while surrounded by genuine connection and support. I’ve often invite friends to join me, and each time they’ve felt the same magic of being held in community. It is a luxury Frederick has a space like this to gather and grow together.”
