Nicole is deeply passionate about empowering individuals to become the healthiest, happiest, and most successful versions of themselves. She believes the foundation of lasting health is personalized nutrition and exercise, supported by stress reduction, lifestyle change, and self-care to sustain both body and mind. Grounded in the core principles of Functional Medicine, Nicole takes a patient-centered approach that considers root causes and the interconnectedness of all body systems. She believes that nutrition, movement, and mindset are powerful tools for creating long-term, sustainable health and well-being.

Nicole offers a highly personalized, integrative approach that combines “food as medicine,” deep nutritional counseling, health coaching, and functional lab interpretation to create individualized nutrition and lifestyle plans tailored to each client’s unique needs. She specializes in working with individuals navigating complex, overlapping health concerns, particularly those who have felt dismissed, unheard, or told “everything looks normal” despite persistent symptoms. Nicole takes the time to listen deeply, understand the full context of each client’s story, and connect the dots across symptoms, lifestyle, labs, and lived experience.

She also works extensively with women with demanding careers and complex lives who are often juggling professional responsibilities, family commitments, and personal goals while managing fatigue, hormonal shifts, weight changes, digestive issues, or chronic stress. Nicole helps these women create realistic, sustainable strategies that support both their health and their full lives, without perfectionism or burnout, so they can truly feel like themselves again.
