Aware of her energetic sensitivities and psychic abilities since childhood, Nicole was catapulted onto her spiritual pathway after an out-of-body near-death experience at the age of 19. 

While the physical injuries sustained left her bed-ridden for nearly a year, the emotional and mental responses to the endured trauma lent themselves to be the true catalysts towards her deeper inner healing journey. 

After her initial physical recovery, she moved to Hawaiʻi where she dove head-first into learning about spiritual and energetic principles – first leaning on yoga, meditation practices, and then anything else that helped her to connect with spirit and re-remember who she was. She was honored to study and be certified in Lomi Lomi Nahenahe and Lomi Lomi Wāwae (2010) as a Licensed Massage Therapist (MAT 11680), as well as Advanced Reiki Energy Healing Certifications (2021) with Holomua Healing Arts, and IFS coursework certifications (2021).

After years of cocooning in her head, challenged with karmic lessons, trauma patterns, past-life/current-life wounding, and a bone-chilling postpartum experience, a fiercely moving spiritual awakening left her with no choice but to shift from her head and into her heart. She launched The Cocoon Embrace in 2020 aligning with her heart’s purpose with the spirit of being in service to help others re-remember their worthiness too.

As a devoted intuitive energy coach and engaging inspirational speaker, Nicole has a deep passion for transformation through connection (with the self, nature, and others), and helping others to expand within and push “play” on their authentic selves.
