About Me

Hi there! I’m Nicole— wife, mom, pelvic floor occupational therapist, yoga instructor, and author, based in Tampa, FL. I wear many hats, but my core passion remains the same—helping others live more balanced, fulfilled lives.

Whether through my work with clients or the words I share in my blog or book, I’m dedicated to guiding people toward better health and well-being.

Pelvic Health Occupational Therapist

I earned my Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy from Elizabethtown College in 2012, working with adult clients across various settings—from home health and skilled nursing to inpatient rehab. In 2024, I launched Intuitive Therapies & Pelvic Health, my private OT practice in Tampa, specializing in pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pain, and postpartum recovery.

At Intuitive Therapies & Pelvic Health, I offer a range of services, including myofascial release, scar tissue management (Graston Technique), and lifestyle modifications. I’ve completed over 100 hours of specialty pelvic health training, combining my clinical expertise with personal experience to provide compassionate, patient-centered care. Whether you're struggling with pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pain, or postpartum healing, my goal is to empower you with knowledge and personalized treatment to help you feel your best.

My Wellness Journey

At 25, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread pain and fatigue. For years, I struggled to understand why I felt this way at such a young age, despite being otherwise healthy. Eventually, I was diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), which explained much of the chronic pain I’d experienced throughout my life. Through a combination of manual therapy, yoga, and holistic practices like acupuncture and chiropractic care, I’ve been able to manage my symptoms and regain a sense of control over my health.

Yoga for Every Body

As a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) and Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT), I focus on making yoga accessible for everyone. I specialize in prenatal yoga, traditional hot yoga, and adaptive yoga for seniors and those with limited mobility.

My background as an occupational therapist allows me to modify postures so that anyone can benefit from yoga, regardless of flexibility or fitness level. I offer private, 1-on-1 yoga sessions in the Tampa Bay area, providing personalized guidance in the comfort of your home.

Wife + Mom

I’m beyond grateful for my wonderful husband, Cort, who supports all my goals and dreams and is quite literally the best dad in the whole world. We have two sweet boys, born just shy of two years apart! Navigating pregnancy during a pandemic while undiagnosed with EDS and POTS was one of my life’s biggest challenges, and postpartum recovery brought an even bigger set of hurdles. You can’t grow from what you don’t know. I’m honored to share what I’ve learned as a mom with chronic invisible illness in my work with clients as I can empathize on a deeper level with those experiencing similar challenges.

Author

My debut memoir, Saving My Sister, chronicles my family’s journey through my sister’s battle with heroin addiction—from her first overdose to her final days. This deeply personal story shares the challenges and heartbreak of addiction, while also highlighting the importance of compassion and resilience.
