Check Any Boxes Below? You’re In the Right Place!

You’ve had years of high-level training, but your dream career still feels out of reach.

Career:

You’re navigating the freelance dance world or college programs and feel lost without clear guidance or structure.

You want to work with a coach who has danced in a top-tier company, understands how to break down that knowledge and guide you with personalized feedback.

Dance:

You feel overwhelmed by general corrections and want clarity on how they apply to your unique body.

You’re ready to ditch self-doubt, stop obsessing over auditions, and finally trust your abilities.

Mindset:

You’re stuck in cycles of perfectionism and comparison, and it’s stealing your joy and confidence in dance.

You’re tired of questioning every bite of food and want to fuel your body for energy and peak performance.

Nutrition:

You’re done with fad diets and restriction and want a sustainable approach to eating that supports your dance goals.

You’re overwhelmed juggling dance, work, and life and need simple self-care routines to stay balanced and energized.

Wellness:

Stress and anxiety holds you back from shining your brightest in auditions and performances.

You want to feel strong, centered, and supported—mentally, emotionally, and physically—so you can not only survive, but thrive with a dance life that lights you up!

Ultimate Goal:

  • “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."

    Natsumi Bellali— from Ailey School student to professional dancer in Tootsie Montreal and others, dance educator, choreographer, and cross-training specialist

  • 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

  • “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

  • “The biggest changes I’ve noticed since working with Nicole have been better nutritional recovery and refuel after physical activity, a calmer mind, greater certainty in my decisions, confidence in my body, organized thoughts, and understanding the importance of self-care… Nicole simplifies anything I bring to her, allowing me to see the situation with clarity and facilitates the solving.”

    Natsumi Bellali— from Ailey School student to professional dancer in Tootsie Montreal and others, dance educator, choreographer, and cross-training specialist

  • “During our time together, Nicole provided the support to set clear goals for myself. I set my intention to choreograph professionally and within a month I had received a commission to create my very first evening length work, 'A Soldier's Tale.' Not only did I open myself up to new possibilities, I gained the confidence and strength to see that I was worthy of these new opportunities. The production was a great success and opened up several more opportunities for me. Thank you Nicole for helping me realize my potential!”

    Billy Smith— Dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group and Artistic Director BS Dance

  • The biggest change I've experienced since working with Nicole is my relationship with food. I am no longer feeling anxious about the amount and type of food I eat. Having a different relationship with food really changes your life. I am able to cook and eat with confidence and compassion for myself because I know now that I am nourishing myself with the ingredients I choose. The practice of being mindful of when and how I eat has also helped me to appreciate how I take care of myself. The changes Nicole has helped me to achieve have been really revolutionary for me and I feel like a new person.”

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • I work with pre-professional, college-level, and professional dancers, ages 16 and up.

    For dancers under 18, your parent or guardian will be involved in the onboarding process and provided with general updates throughout the program. (However, your privacy will always be respected, similar to working with a counselor.)

    If you’re a dance parent interested in how my coaching programs can support your dancer, CLICK HERE to learn more.

  • Yes! This is, by no means a requirement, but when all three methods are combined, I’ve seen the greatest results. If this is something you’re interested in, let me know in your free consultation and I will customize a comprehensive program that meets your needs.

  • We’ll discuss pricing and payment plan options in your complimentary Nourished Dancer Call.

  • Not traditionally. But if you’d like to use your Health Savings Account, it’s possible to do so through PayPal.

  • On a rare occasion partial scholarships are offered to those in need and to the bipoc community. If you’re interested in working with me, I encourage you to book your free call. Don’t let financial concerns be the thing that stops you from getting the support you need. During your call we’ll discuss your unique situation, and see if we can devise a plan that works for us both.

  • Yes. While I was in a modern dance company, my training in ballet is extensive. I believe in ballet as a method of conditioning and training that encourages growth within many genres of dance.

  • Now is the perfect time to begin the Dancer’s Wellness Program or the Master your Mindset Program. Injury time is the exact time to double down on your nutrition and wellness practices to encourage lower inflammation levels in the body— and to process the big emotions, physical pain, and self-doubt that come with dance injuries. As a dancer who has recovered from multiple injuries, it would be my honor to support you in this time.

  • You are more than welcome in my programs. Before working with dancers, I worked with people from all walks of life, addressing a variety of concerns.

  • Absolutely. There is usually a lot to emotionally process after a dance career. I recommend the Master your Mindset Program to help you move on to your next chapter with as much ease and excitement as possible.

  • I do. Many musicians have also found my work to be beneficial to them.

  • I’m so glad you asked! Here is a SHORT VIDEO about EFT Tapping that explains it all.

  • Wonderful! Please CLICK HERE to learn more about this process.
