reclaiming herself
Nicole has always known she feels more deeply - more energetically, more intuitively - than most. It’s her superpower. As a child, she noticed her psychic sensitivities, but it wasn’t until she was 19, after a near-death out-of-body experience from a severe car accident, that her spiritual path truly began. The accident left her physically bedridden for nearly a year, but the emotional and mental fallout from the trauma became the real catalyst for her journey inward.
To help her healing process, Nicole moved to Hawaiʻi and dove headfirst into practices that would reconnect her to herself: yoga, meditation, and every spiritual and energetic modality she could find. She became certified in Lomi Lomi Nahenahe and Lomi Lomi Wāwae (2010) as a Licensed Massage Therapist (MAT 11680), earned Advanced Reiki Energy Healing certifications (2021) with Holomua Healing Arts, completed IFS coursework certifications (2021), and self-published her first book Shift That Sh*t: How To Raise Your Frequency Fast When Life Is Coming At You Hot (2026).
Years later, motherhood introduced Nicole to a whole new level of intensity. After a medically complicated pregnancy, an emergency C-section, and a postpartum experience that left her disconnected, like a stranger in her own body, and profoundly shaken, she confronted the raw edges of vulnerability, fear, and exhaustion. It was in this bone-chilling postpartum period that she first deeply understood the cost of neglecting herself and the urgent need to reclaim her own energy, her body, and her sense of worth.
After years of introspection, confronting karmic lessons, trauma patterns, and both past-life and current-life wounds, a powerful spiritual awakening moved her fully from her head into her heart. Out of that transformation, The Cocoon Embrace was born in 2020 - a heart-centered space devoted to helping others re-remember their worthiness, reclaim their energy, and step boldly into their next selves.
Today, as a devoted intuitive energy coach and inspirational speaker, Nicole is passionate about helping others transform through connection - with themselves, with nature, and with their authentic power. She guides her clients to expand within, to rediscover their joy, and to courageously push “play” on the life they’ve been dreaming of because she knows firsthand that your next chapter doesn’t start when you’re ready; it starts when you choose yourself.
