Welcome to Heart Rooted Being
What might it feel like to live your life from the heart?
To let your heart quietly inform your choices… guiding you with its deeper knowing, rather than relying only on the mind?
Take a moment and sense into that. What does it mean, for you, to live from the heart? Can you feel your heart right now?
Perhaps it feels warm, open, and spacious… Or maybe a little guarded, tight, or distant. Whatever is there, can you meet it just as it is?
Gently bring your awareness to the center of your chest. Maybe place a hand there. Notice your breath. Can you allow yourself to rest in this space? Can you feel grounded at the same time? What does feeling grounded mean to you? How do you ground?
Methods Used
The approach Nicole uses is based on Core Energetics principles which was founded by Dr. John Pierrakos, M.D.. It is a body-centered approach to improve overall energy flow and emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. This approach is experiential and dynamic, and often evokes powerful bodily experiences through physical, emotional, and spiritual exercises, which are designed to restore energetic integrity to your system.
Body, mind and spirit exist in unity and we work holistically towards an increased energy flow and a balance of conscious being & heart-guided doing. Moving the body can help to loosen tight muscles and often improves the feeling of oneself in the body. If blockages are released energy flow can increase.
The work encompasses discovering, questioning and releasing of (often long standing) limiting beliefs and suppressed emotions that usually stem from childhood and are now holding us back and/or are limiting us in our daily lives.
Additionally, Nicole works with Reiki to balance the body’s energy and overall energy level.
Reiki comes from Japan and is a gentle form of energy transmission. “Rei” means “universal”, and “Ki” means “life force energy” or “vital energy”, and the combination of these two words, “Reiki” translates to “universal life force energy”. Reiki transmission can be done hands on, slightly above the body or long distance.
About Nicole
Following a personal health crisis around a decade ago, she developed a deep interest in alternative wellbeing modalities, including yoga, meditation, autogenic training, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), inner child work, Core Energetics, and Reiki.
This transformative journey fostered a profound sense of self-awareness, autonomy, and a deep fascination with the human experience, ultimately inspiring her to pursue a four year program to dive deeper into somatic work, patterns and defenses in life. Nicole is a Certified Core Energetics Practitioner (CCEP) from the Institute of Core Energetics, New York and a certified Reiki practitioner.
Beyond her work in somatics, Nicole is also passionate about painting. She finds the creative process liberating—embracing the uncertainty of the final outcome while balancing composition, color, light, and shadow, and taking artistic risks.
Nicole holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Management and a Bachelor’s degree in International Management. With over 20 years of global experience, she brings a diverse and integrative perspective to her work.
Drawing from her multifaceted background, Nicole incorporates her personal and professional experiences into her somatic and energy work. Her mission is to empower through body-centered practices and energy awareness and balancing, facilitating a deeper connection to the mind, body, emotions, and soul. Through her work, she assists individuals recalibrate their inner alignment, fostering deeper heart connection and greater balance, fulfillment, and authenticity in their lives.
