ways to work together….
1:1 Sessions
Personal, paced, tailored to you
Private sessions are the heart of this work: a confidential space designed around your nervous system, history and goals. Whether we are doing somatic trauma work (Somatic Experiencing), Sexological Bodywork, Embodied Mindfulness or some combination of these, each session follows what's alive for you that day, whether that's untangling somatic patterns, resourcing in the face of traumatic stress or triggers, getting more in touch with arousal and sensation, processing something tender, or learning to be with yourself with compassionate presence.
1:1 Immersions
Deep, spacious, Bespoke
Weekly sessions are powerful, but sometimes you want more time, depth and momentum. Immersions are extended experiences where we step out of ordinary rhythms and give your healing the space it deserves, like a personalized retreat with room to integrate. More immersion offerings are coming soon.
Group Programs
Shared, structured, supportive
Shame and isolation are often at the root of what hurts. Group programs offer the opposite: being seen and supported alongside others on a similar path. Groups blend teaching, guided practice and shared reflection, with real care for safety and pacing. Offerings include the Embodied Somatic Therapy Group, Touching the Bones Embodiment Immersion, and and mindfulness programs at UCSF including MBSR and Mindful HEART.

What it's like to work with Nichole
We'll laugh, cry, get curious, and maybe even dance or take a walk in the woods.
This work is different than regular talk therapy. You bring what's true for you; Nichole brings compassion, honest reflection, curiosity and a little wit, as your ally, co-creator and guide.

FAQs
-
No. Somatic work doesn't require recounting painful details, but we can explore parts of your story if it feels supportive of your process. We go at the pace of your nervous system, and you stay in charge.
-
Absolutely. No experience with meditation, art, movement or somatics is needed.
-
The work I do with clients is depth work. It is less focused on symptom recovery and more focused on whole human healing. Hence, I do not focus on “maintanence work”, because I actually want you to heal. I take a steady and sustainable approach. This allows time and space for your nervous system to experience more ease, and for new patterns to develop at a pace that you can actually integrate them and bring real transformation into your life.

No. But this work is complimentary to other disciplines and just one very impart part of a holistic trauma recovery process.

Hands on body work is in person but most other aspects of this work can be done virtually. That said, when we are exploring embodiment work or ritual, being in person is so potent. I offer intensive in person immersions for people who want to do a deeper dive in person over a period of a 2-3 days.

My base rate is $195 per session, which is slightly lower than the standard rate in the San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle. I am 100% committed to making my services accessible to people of who are often excluded (commonly marginalized people) from healing and growth work, so I offer a few sliding scale spots for women whose lives have been impacted by social and economic injustice, medical impairment, or other systemic/economic issues.
For those who are privileged with abundant financial resources, I offer the opportunity to donate to a fund that helps make sessions available to those who have less available financial resources.
-
We will begin with an exploration call to see if it is a good mutual fit, and if both of us feel like full YES, we will select a start date and I will send you all the intake forms.
-
You don't have to figure that out alone. We can do a free phone consultation and you can even try out a session to see how it works for you.
