She trained with the pilot cohort at the University of California - San Francisco’s Hospital-Based Massage Therapy Fellowship, where she supported adult and pediatric patients receiving inpatient and outpatient treatment at UCSF’s Parnassus, Mt. Zion, and Benioff Children’s hospital campuses. She has also trained at Children’s National Hospital in Washington D.C. and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Nicole currently serves pediatric hospice and palliative care patients and their caregivers at a Bay Area home health care nonprofit organization. As a member of an interdisciplinary team, she collaborates on treatment goals and outcomes, while taking great care in cultivating healing therapeutic relationships through attentive story stewardship, nonjudgmental listening, unconditional positive regard, and skillful compassion.

She is not accepting clients in her private practice at this time.
