Our Service Values
Nicole has intentionally built her skills and practice around the vital role that gender identification plays in trauma. For women, trauma symptoms are often pervasive, long lasting and experienced throughout their lives. Trauma and stress can stem from childhood emotional and physical abuse, birth trauma, parenting, sexual violence, gender-based violence and discrimination, body image, female health conditions and carer roles.
Nicole acknowledges that for those impacted by trauma and long term stress the path to wholeness can feel complicated, frightening and overwhelming. People can also form maladaptive behaviours and beliefs about themselves that they are fundamentally flawed, wrong and not worthy.
Nicole draws on her thorough knowledge of the psychology and physiology of complex PTSD and the body's stress response. She educates clients about symptoms and behaviours related to traumatic stress, empowering women to make informed choices and find a path forward that’s right for them.
Nicole has consciously created a practice that serves as a safe container for women to feel worthy that their experiences will be heard, honoured and understood.

“I have been working with Nicole for over a year now, she is nurturing, supportive and most of all makes me feel safe. I have battled anxiety my whole life, and now I have a better understanding on how to truly connect to myself and nurture my inner child. I can't thank you enough Nicole.”
