Nichole’s Monday Morning Meditation circle has provided such a place of refuge during the uncertainty and unpredictability of the pandemic. She has a way of imparting profound truths in a simple way, which makes her teachings both accessible and nuanced. The mindfulness practice that I’ve cultivated over several years now, with Nichole’s guidance, has truly changed how I manage anxiety and stress... I’m so grateful that I get to learn from and practice with Nichole regularly.

Nichole has an incredible sense in attuning to my needs as a client with PTSD from physical and psychological abuse as a child. She has the ability to know just the right amount of depth I can tolerate without overwhelming me. I have never experienced a more profound source of support and guidance in the 15+ years of going to therapy to resolve my childhood trauma.

Nichole has been the best meditation coach that I have worked with. I met her at the UCSF Osher Center 6 years ago during a challenging time in my life and she was invaluable in supporting me through it.

Over the years, my one-on-one sessions with Nichole have helped me take my meditation practice to a whole new level and build a resilience I didn’t know I had. Nichole is both able to meet you where you are and push you towards getting you where you want to be. I look forward to working with Nichole for a long time.

Nichole doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. Instead she skillfully guides us to explore and discover the latent abilities within ourselves, allowing us to grow in awareness, understanding, empathy for others, and self-love. It’s like living in a black and white movie and being made aware of the colorful world that’s always been around us.

My sessions with Nichole came at a fork in the road of life, and they’ve been super helpful. She listens carefully and is able to understand the situation very well. Her nonjudgmental approach has helped me navigate a lifetime of many complicated and hard problems. Nichole has also enabled me to develop deep insight and reflection, which has allowed me to consider new perspectives. I would like to thank her very much for the help and support that she has given me.

Nichole has helped me work through the ingrained oppressions from my experience living as a woman, and my experiences of trauma.

Through my work with Nichole, she has guided me to spend time connecting with hurt parts of myself and re-writing my narrative.

I am forever grateful for my work with Nichole, I would not have made it through all the intense challenges of this year, both on a macro and micro level, without the work I have done with her. I have examined incredible beneficial changes in my romantic partnership, my professional endeavors, and my relationship with myself due to working with Nichole.

I’ve been working with Nichole since 2015 and as a result I feel our work together has helped me grow in ways I could have never previously imagined. I have felt immensely understood with total acceptance and nonjudgment by way of Nichole’s unwavering presence and support. Her exquisite skill of being authentically loving and respectful toward me has led me to feel seen at every stage of my growth. Nichole’s strength is truly meeting me where I am, while allowing me to move through my experience exactly as it unfolds, which has provided me the sense of feeling secure and safe to go deep and get honest in our work together. As a result of all of this, I have been able to work through the most difficult and transformative experiences of my life by cultivating true self love and gratitude for the grace that has been placed over my life exactly as I am.

I have worked with Nichole for several years and she has helped me to grow spiritually and professionally. She is my biggest cheerleader and has appropriately challenged me to find my truth in how I live my life. I love how Nichole incorporates a mindfulness approach to her coaching and teaches me how to weave this into my personal and work life. I would highly recommend Nichole as an incredibly thoughtful mindfulness coach, therapist, and advocate as she has certainly bettered my life!

“With Nichole I am able to learn and grow my meditation practice in ways that are tied to my actual experience. She has helped me develop tools for navigating the most challenging time in my life in ways that I would not have thought possible. She is flexible and responsive to what is going on, brings deep knowledge, experience, and compassion to the work. Her openness about her own meditation experience and struggles really demystifies the process and makes it easier to step into.”

Nichole is such a breath of fresh air. She brings thoughtfulness and a sense of wonder to the families and young adults we serve. She facilitates in a very ‘outside the box’ sort of way… she is dedicated to helping families see their positive qualities, appreciate what is different about each other, develop new tools and restore ease and well-being in the family system. She brings a sense of grounding and calm to our program, and we have been so lucky to work with her.
