About Nicole

Hi, I’m Nicole—the heart behind Balance & Bloom Integrative Wellness.
My work in holistic healing didn’t begin with Ayurveda. It began long before that, in 2006, when I became a registered nurse.

From the very start of my nursing career, I saw the toll that chronic stress, burnout, poor nutrition, and unsupported emotional health can have on the body. Even then, I felt pulled toward therapies that addressed the whole person, not just the symptoms. That curiosity led me to become a Reiki practitioner in 2018, followed by certification in foot reflexology. I didn’t know it then, but those early steps were laying the foundation for my future work.

My deepest lessons, though, came from life outside of my career.

As a mother of four, a wife, and a woman who has walked through profound loss, recovery, trauma, and seasons of complete depletion, I learned firsthand how easy it is to disconnect from your own needs. I spent years running on grit, adrenaline, and responsibility—until my body finally demanded a different path.

That’s when I found Ayurveda.

It came into my life during a personal health crisis, offering a framework that made sense of everything I was feeling but couldn’t articulate. Ayurveda helped me finally understand why I was exhausted, inflamed, irritable, and dried out from the inside out—not because I wasn’t trying hard enough, but because I was living against my own nature.

As I began to align my food, routines, and daily choices with my constitution, real healing happened:

• My digestion steadied.

• My hormones softened into balance.

• My energy became more grounded and sustainable.

• And I reconnected with a part of myself I had ignored for years.

Ayurveda didn’t just help me feel better—it changed the way I relate to myself as a woman, a mother, a partner, and a healer.

Today, as an Ayurveda Health Counselor, holistic nurse, Reiki practitioner, and intuitive coach, I bring together the best of both worlds: the clinical foundation of nursing and the deeply rooted wisdom of Ayurveda.

I specialize in supporting women—especially those who are driven, high-functioning, and often exhausted from being the anchor for everyone else. Women navigating hormones, digestion, burnout, emotional overload, and the constant pressure to keep it all together.

I know that path well.
And I also know that healing is absolutely possible.

No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to meet you with compassion, honesty, and the practical tools to help your body come back into balance. Together, we’ll create a rhythm that supports your health, your purpose, and the life you want to live.

Let’s help you restore balance—and bloom.
