Born and raised in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon, Nicole was inspired to start sharing her love of yoga after experiencing the profound difference it made in her ability to feel, to ground, and to embrace her power.

She has always felt inspired by the possibility to look deeper at the world around us, which perhaps started with bugs: she moved to Boston for a career in pollinator research and education. On the mat, she seeks to guide students to look deeper at the world within them. When teaching, Nicole seeks to balance energy and heat with release and self-compassion. Her goal is to guide others to experience the same empowerment she experiences on her mat, and believes that yoga is for anyone and everyone. Nicole completed her 200 and 300-hour trainings with her home studio back in Oregon, as well as her NASM CPT certification. She carries with her over 6 years of teaching experience, including Division-1 athletes, instructor development, and international yoga retreat facilitation.
