Hi, I’m Nicole. I’m a Licensed Dietician Nutritionist.  For a good portion of my adult life, I have searched for my purpose and it always seemed to lead me to help people with improving their mood. I have personally struggled with depression and I used unhealthy methods to cope.  After having a near-death experience I began a journey toward self-care, healing, and obtaining knowledge.

 I began furthering my education in various areas such as getting a Master's Degree in Clinical Nutrition and becoming a Certified Yoga Therapist, which you can read more about  here: Home | illumeyogatherapy (illumenutritionandyogatherapy.com).  I continued to be guided toward helping those with anxiety and stress. One day a recovery center asked me to build a curriculum to teach to their guests and that is when I discovered the people I am meant to help.  Helping those in recovery became my focus.  I found out that nutrition was a missing link in many recovery centers and I decided to make it my mission to fill that gap.
