about nicole
Portland OR
Nicole earned her Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Anthropology in Texas, but her journey into natural health sciences began after moving to Portland in 1997. With a background in dance and a deep understanding of body awareness, pursuing a career in therapeutic massage felt like a natural evolution. She graduated from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2002, completing 650 hours of intensive training in massage techniques, anatomy, physiology, and pathology. She then spent nearly a decade working in a busy chiropractic clinic, gaining invaluable experience treating a wide range of injuries. Over the years, she has collaborated with skilled and compassionate healthcare practitioners, accumulating thousands of hours of hands-on experience and professional insight.
Nicole’s passion for healing extends beyond massage therapy. Her travels have taken her across the world, where she has studied diverse healing traditions. She has completed a 300-hour in-person program in Botanical Medicine and has undergone rigorous training in Functional Nutrition. She believes true wellness is achieved through a holistic approach—integrating food, plant medicine, supplementation, and lifestyle choices to support long-term health and vitality.
Nicole is honored to be part of each client’s healing journey and welcomes any questions about how her work can support your well-being.
