ABOUT ME
HI, I’M NICOLE!
I’m an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and music industry executive of 25+ years. My personal exploration of health started right out of college, when I was facing the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, Ulcerative Colitis. The initial prescription was simply ongoing medication, and no nutrition or lifestyle guidance - at all. After years of doing my own research and trying many different solutions, health coaching kind of landed in my lap. I hired a holistic health coach and together we managed to put my disease into remission, which inspired me to become certified as a coach and share what I’d learned about how to improve your quality of life even with a chronic illness.
I did all of this while working in the high-stress music industry. From the crazy schedules to the constant travel, I've been through it all. So, I understand the unique challenges that come with trying to stay healthy in a hectic industry or environment.
In addition to my 1:1 client work, I also am a workshop presenter for companies like NIVA, Backline, Downtown Music Group, Symphonic and more.
I've also had the privilege of sharing my insights as a speaker at conferences, festivals, and on various podcasts since 2019 including Winter Jazzfest, APAP, A2IM Indie Week, Folk Alliance, NY Music Month, M pour Montreal, Mondo NYC, New Colossus and Indie Week Canada. See below for a few links!
My passion for creating wellness in the music industry inspired me to create and co-found Equilibrium (2019-2023), an organization which created resources and conversations supporting wellness in music.
