Nicole is a Certified Yoga Teacher in Nottawa, Ontario, Canada — a guide who walks between breath and intuition, light and shadow, the seen and the quietly felt. Born on the windswept shores of St. John’s, Newfoundland, she now lives outside Collingwood with her husband Tom, their son, and their four-legged familiar, Chewbacca.

Yoga found Nicole more than twenty years ago in the mountains of Canmore, Alberta.

What she believed was homesickness revealed itself, with time and tenderness, to be anxiety and depression — and yoga became the lantern she carried through those early shadows. Breath by breath, the practice opened a doorway inward.

When she returned to Ontario in 2007, the path deepened. She trained at Buddha Rider with Shirlee Williams, weaving together self-study, intuition, discipline, and the quiet bravery required for inner work.

After her son’s birth in 2016, Nicole expanded her healing rituals, incorporating essential oils into her family’s daily rhythms and beginning her work as a Wellness Advocate with DoTerra.

The loss of her longtime companion — her Golden Retriever, Burton — pulled her further into the unseen. In her grief, Nicole felt a new calling rise, one rooted in energy, spirit, and ancestral knowing. She followed it to Michelle’s Yoga Therapies in Tiny, Ontario, where she became a Reiki Master and learned to work with the gentle currents beneath the surface of things.

She spent a decade in the corporate finance world, living within structures that didn’t quite fit her soul. But in the great stillness of the 2020 pandemic, a truth she had ignored for years finally spoke clearly: it was time to return to the work she was born for. She stepped through that threshold and never looked back.

Today, Nicole teaches from a place shaped by moonlight, intuition, and lived experience.

Her mission is a simple one whispered from her bones:

to guide you toward your own light — even in your darkest season.

Here, she stands as both teacher and companion, walking with you as you rediscover the magic you’ve carried all along.
