She has positively changed my process and I know she will for you too!”

—Brandon Cournay, Executive Director of Dance Heginbotham and Director of Dance Device Lab
The word that best described my mentality before beginning The Nourished Dancer Wellness Program was fear. Now, that word is trust. And I think that says it all. Thank you, Nicole.”

Margaret Brackey— From Adelphi Dance Major to Professional Dancer with Sokolow Theatre/Dance Ensemble, Equis Project, and others
“Nicole's enthusiasm for helping others is infectious. Her open-hearted spirit is supportive, encouraging, and uplifting. She led the Mark Morris Dance Group through weekly wellness workshops covering topics such as nutrition, boosting the immune system, cohabitating, dancing in quarantine, self care in a virtual world, and creativity! I cherished this time with her and always left feeling inspired and more equipped to incorporate healthy habits into my day.”

Lesley Garrison— Dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group for 15 years, Co-Owner Knockout Pilates, Faculty ABT JKO School
“To get to the point, Nicole's Nourished Dancer Program is life-changing! It will truly make you love dance, yourself, everything again. I don’t think I have ever loved dance as much as I do now. I have the confidence and ability to take risks. It has made me fall in love with dancing so much, has boosted my confidence in my talent and ability to pursue dance as a profession.”

Christina Gleason— from George Mason University MFA student, to Professional Dancer with Motion X, Gin Dance, and others
“I worked with Nicole over two years ago and never do I spend a day without feeling grateful for her. After graduating from dance school, I didn’t know how to face myself, how to navigate my hectic NYC hustle, and how to have a relationship with exercise and food. Nicole listened to me and gave me tools. She held me accountable, she taught me to see food as a means to breaking free and feeling empowered.”
