Nicole began her career as a business accountant and worked in commercial real estate for 23 years before a tragic outcome to back surgery ended her career.
Possessing a strong command of business, data security, and management principles as they pertain to development, resource allocation, production methods, and leading others, has provided Nicole with a deep technical background in business analytics. When her life-long business career abruptly ended, she was determined to fight her way back to success. Triumph over tragedy and turning a disability into an ability are her new mantras now.
A motivated team player with charismatic public speaking abilities that encompass oral, written, and interpersonal communication, Nicole is an initiator and problem-solver who uses creativity, resourcefulness, and assets to break down and overcome organizational obstacles.
As a lifelong truth seeker and student of knowledge, she is committed to staying on top of the best, current, and emerging business practices as well as various other interests. Always an attentive listener, she is not afraid to incorporate the opinions of valued team members into policy and planning. Considered an effective communicator, she motivates, identifies, and leverages assets in teammates to reach organizational goals.
Nicole is a relentless optimist who believes there is no failure, only feedback. Failure has never been an option, in her opinion. She continues to be a visionary and hard worker in the face of adversity and a painful spinal cord injury; never taking “no” for an answer.
Searching for the truth is an exercise in painstaking research into complex materials to find subtle and often confusing results. Life experience has given Nicole a unique technique of combining and communicating findings in a helpful way.
After a devastating back injury and subsequent surgery-gone-wrong, Nicole was determined not to let chronic pain get the best of her. While suffering in unending pain on permanent disability, she educated herself on her medical conditions and how to heal her body. This process has awakened the idea for The Sound Within Us and affiliated companies.

Trauma-informed life coaching is an approach to coaching that takes into account the potential impact of trauma on an individual's life and well-being. Trauma refers to experiences that are emotionally or physically harmful and have lasting effects on a person's mental and emotional state. These experiences can range from childhood trauma to more recent events, such as accidents or violence. Trauma-informed life coaching recognizes the impact of trauma on individuals and adapts coaching practices to create a supportive and empowering environment. This approach aims to help individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and work towards their goals in a way that respects their unique experiences and needs.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), often referred to as "tapping," is a holistic approach to medicine that combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine with modern psychology. It is used as a self-help tool for emotional and psychological well-being. EFT is based on the idea that unresolved emotional issues contribute to physical and emotional symptoms, and by addressing these issues through tapping on specific points on the body, individuals can alleviate emotional distress. Holistic practitioners and proponents of EFT believe that by addressing emotional issues at the energetic level, the technique can lead to improvements in mental and emotional well-being, and even physical health.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between neurological processes, language, and behavioral patterns that have been learned through experience. From a holistic medicine perspective, NLP is often seen as a tool that can be integrated into a broader framework of holistic healing and well-being. NLP therapy sessions aim to help individuals achieve specific goals, overcome challenges, and enhance their overall well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is a structured and goal-oriented therapy that is typically time-limited. CBT is effective in helping clients by addressing and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors. Clients often report positive outcomes, including improved mood, increased self-awareness, and the development of effective coping mechanisms.
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a technique that falls under the umbrella of energy psychology and is sometimes considered a holistic approach to addressing various psychological issues. TFT is based on the idea that imbalances in the body's energy system contribute to emotional distress and physical symptoms. TFT is designed to be a self-help tool, and individuals can learn and practice the technique on their own. This makes it a versatile approach that individuals can use as needed.
This is both initiation-based and attunement into the ancient and sacred healing art that is both a calling and a way of life. The calling is divinely revealed through meditation or prayer and is a commitment of service to the positive evolution of humans, animals, and plants. The initiation is passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage spanning many generations. One who has been initiated channels universal life force energy for the benefit of healing all life on the planet Earth. The benefits received from a Reiki treatment session helps the body resolve emotional distress, reduce stress and anxiety, which in turn can decrease pain perception as well.
Chaos abounds everywhere on our planet and our ability to destroy the world is increasing. According to prophecy, we will witness the birth of a new form of human on the planet and the dawn of a new civilization. Shamanism is a form of spiritual healing and transformation journey that is initiation-based and a pre-destined calling. The Nine Rites of Passage of the Munay Ki are passed down from teacher to student in an unbroken lineage originating from the Inka Shamans. These rites are the rites of the shaman's path of the descendants of the Inka, indigenous peoples of the holy mountains of the Andes in Peru. Shamans assume stewardship for all creation and find the wisdom to create peace among all peoples for the evolution of humanity. We help clients to heal wounds of the past, the karmic and genetic programs, and beliefs you inherited with grace and spirituality.

Meditation is a science and can be defined as the systematic process of training the mind. Meditation generates technologies for change - profound changes in perception, worldview, mental states and behavior. A regular sitting practice has been shown to enhance concentration, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep. It is also used to treat chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and OCD. We help clients restore well-being, reach goals, improve relationships, and develop awareness, mindfulness, and confidence.
Sound healing is an ancient meditative practice that uses singing bowls to create healing vibrations around the body to treat illness, revitalize the body, and elevate the spirit. The vibrations of the singing bowls work on the energy field of the body and over time make corrections to distortions that are out of alignment causing you suffering. Sound therapy can also help to manage chronic pain and illness.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach that uses hypnosis to induce a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility in individuals. It is like a guided daydream that helps people tap into their subconscious minds. It's a bit like pressing the reset button for your brain. In alternative and holistic medicine, it's often used as a tool to address various issues, from breaking bad habits to managing pain. The idea is to reach a state of deep relaxation where the mind is more open to suggestion and positive change. In this altered state of consciousness, commonly referred to as a trance, individuals are more open to suggestions and are better able to access and process subconscious thoughts and emotions.
Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses natural plant extracts, known as essential oils, to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
