In addition to her graduate work, Nicole has completed training with Randine Lewis (author of The Infertility Cure), as well as additional training in treating emotional disorders with traditional Chinese medicine, and counseling parents who have experienced miscarriage and infant loss.

Prior to opening her private practice, Nicole completed internships at the Edith Davis Acupuncture Clinic and Abbott Northwestern Hospital in their Institute for Health and Healing. She has coauthored a study guide on Chinese Herbal Medicine and is a regular public speaker on Chinese medicine around the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

No man is a good doctor who has never been sick himself.

Nicole came to Chinese medicine through a deeply personal journey. Originally committed to the study of Western medicine, she found herself questioning her decision after a physically and emotionally traumatic event left her hospitalized for nearly a month. Eventually a new type of medicine came into her life, which not only changed her life, but inspired her to renew her hope of being a healer and help change others'.

Nicole has firsthand experience of Chinese medicine’s tremendous ability to heal - emotionally and physically - and is passionate about sharing that opportunity with others. She cannot imagine doing anything else she could love more, and hopes she will be able to share her enthusiasm and knowledge with others to help shift the way medicine is viewed and change our expectations on health and healthcare.

If you want to become whole,
Let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight,
Let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full,
Let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn,
Let yourself die
If you want to be given everything
Give everything up.
- Tao Te Ching

Nicole lives in Minneapolis with her husband and love of her life, Mark.
