Services
We are not here to show off, all bodies can do yoga. We just have to show up. Believing that you are your best when feeling your best was what drove her passion for bodywork, and Nicole really loves the privilege and opportunity to help with that. Moving that focus into Yoga Asana Instruction is no different, and she hopes to continue building on and utilizing her massage knowledge to help you find your place of peace on the table or yoga mat.
Post surgical modality. Used after medical and cosmetic procedures to ensure a more efficient healing process. Light, feather touch massage to reduce swelling, intended to encourage natural drainage of the lymph carrying bacteria away from the injury site towards the nearest lymph node and out of the body to induce healing.
This modality is done clothed, on top of blankets and is a fantastic way to receive bodywork if past trauma has effected your experience with touch. Light, tough based energy focus on the cranium and spine working with the cerebrospinal fluid that flows through the brain and spinal cord, working with its rhythms to release past traumas to the body, emotional and physical.
So grateful for rest and recovery. I was able to take a short trail run this morning. I think of the days (last week) my body wouldn't do much without some pain, and give thanks. To be honest, I spend most of my time as a bodyworker educating clients on the abilities of the body as we physically evolve, and holding compassion for ourselves when we feel critical about not being able to do things we once have.
Nicole has the skills to get to the root of the tensions and stresses in the body, and delivers relief with technique and finesse not often found in other massage therapists. You know you're getting healing work, and at the same time deep release. I always leave her treatments feeling relaxed and more balanced.

I had an excruciating neck strain that was bringing me to the verge of tears every day for 2 weeks that just kept getting worse despite my best efforts. I had seen my doctor and been given some meds and a PT referral but I needed relief immediately. Nicole came in and spent an hour really working every single bit of my neck and shoulders. She really understood how to release ALL the surrounding muscles and areas connected to the strain in order to get my entire upper body to relax. (Which, at this point, everything was twisted and pulled up tight due to the injury).
I also really appreciated how

Nicole is SO wonderful and my go-to massage therapist in San Diego!! She is highly knowledgeable and skilled in her craft, and is super professional yet puts you completely at ease. She takes the time to discuss your issues or goals with you before your massage so she knows how to best treat you, and her space is super clean and the essential oils/ massage oils she uses smell amazing and are so nourishing feeling. I always left my sessions feeling incredible! Go see Nicole asap!!!

Nicole is excellent at what she does. She always communicates with me during massages to make sure everything feels right and that she’s hitting trouble areas. More than just a relaxing “spa” massage, you can tell she has a great understanding of the body and where the stress resides in all areas of the body. Love her and can’t wait till my next visit.👍

I’ve received some of the best massages in my life from Nicole. I have been going to her for a couple years now. She seems really nice, and She know exactly where all the sore spots are on my body without even telling her, I don’t know how she does it. Her new location is sterile and she follows all the covid protocols which I really respect. If I could give her 6stars I would.
Oh and I forgot to mention that her yoga services she provides is the best thing I’ve ever done before a massage. It really gets the muscle warmed up and ready.

I am a pretty active person and after a 20 mile run what my body needed the most was some healing. It was very easy to book with Nicole and her skill exceeded any other massage that i have recieved. I went in with some knee pain and she was able to give me some solid advice on it. Some of the aching that i had went down tremendously with the cupping she did and by the next day it was completely gone. Shes such an easy person to talk to as well. Can't wait for my next session. 100% recommend.

I've had many massages from many therapists and Nicole is the best. I'm a very picky person and I cannot say one bad thing about her service.
She is very technical and gets the max amount of treatment without causing unnecessary pain. She is always on time and ready to go. I do jiu jitsu and Nicole keeps my body running smooth and pain free. She can also provide stretches or movements for you to do solo between sessions.
Best body mechanic in town! Highly recommend.
