Nicolle is no longer accepting new ICBC patients
Nicolle has been practicing massage therapy since 2016.
She first gained experience at a popular spa in downtown Victoria, then worked as a mobile therapist in the lower Vancouver Island area on and off all the while growing a very busy practice at a multidisciplinary clinic for 5 years before joining the team here at Aurora Health and Wellness in 2022.
She has taken a wide range of continuing education courses. From Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian massage) to diving into the world of pain science and understanding its relations to acute injuries and chronic pain conditions.
From her experience at the spa, she was able to perfect her rhythmic flow while combining it with a therapeutic/athletic type approach to create a well rounded and rejuvenating treatment.
Nicolle tends to favor moderate to deeper pressure with active techniques while including the clients natural and functional body patterns, yet always working within the client’s comfort zone. She is also able to accommodate the lightest of touch for a more relaxing or gentle type of treatment if the client prefers.
The techniques she typically uses are General Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy, contract/relax type stretching, tapotement (rhythmically tapping with different parts of the hand), joint mobilization, assisted breath work, along with deep tissue massage for clients in need of this type of pressure and release.
She has found that her style of treatment has a positive effect on her clients physical concerns, treatment goals and mental wellbeing by establishing an all around trust, limiting guarding, enabling tissue release to further decrease the perception of physical pain.
Nicolle is described as pleasantly professional, a nurturer by nature and meticulous with a curious mind while providing a space where all people can feel relaxed and accommodated.
In her spare time, she can be found raising her growing family, cheering her kids on and enjoying the many wonders that our beautiful planet has to offer.
