The Foundation

A path to deeper awareness, embodied confidence, and the capacity to meet life differently.

This isn’t another self-help program, mindset shift, or set of tools to apply. The Foundation is a body-based, bottom-up approach to self-discovery. It’s grounded in the intelligence of your nervous system, informed by your lived and ancestral experiences, and designed to support you in relating to yourself—and your life—with more presence, clarity, and trust.

Instead of trying to override, hustle, or figure it all out in your head, you’ll learn how to listen more deeply to your body’s cues, work with the layers of your experience, and meet what arises with compassion and capacity.

The journey isn’t always easy. But the more capacity you build to be with what arises, the less overwhelming it becomes.

The Foundation is built around four guiding principles, introduced through four modules. These aren’t techniques to master—they’re invitations into a new way of relating to yourself and your experience. As you explore each one, you’ll begin to uncover more spaciousness, trust, and clarity in your life. This is about tuning into your own rhythms, connecting with your body’s cues, and discovering how to move forward from a place that feels more like you.

What You'll Learn

Module 1 – PAUSE & NOTICE

The focus here is to deepen your understanding of your stress physiology, autonomic nervous system, the threat response cycle, and trauma. You'll explore the difference between top-down versus bottom-up approaches, shift your relationship with resources and coping strategies, and begin to expand your awareness of your experiences and environment.

Module 2 –AWARENESS & CURIOSITY

You’ll begin to untangle your survival patterns. You’ll gain the ability to see more of the nuances at play and refine your ability to listen to the many different experiences you're having at one time. By understanding how these patterns unfold and the purpose they serve, your relationship with them will change. You'll begin to recognize choice points and explore ways to rewire how your body and brain communicate.

Module 3 – THERE’S NOTHING TO FIX

With more awareness and curiosity, you’ll begin to notice where you get in your own way. This module invites you to explore your feelings toward your patterns and how you show up in life. You'll start recognizing where there's internal conflict and where alignment is possible. A big part of this includes reflecting on your history—not only your own, but also the generational patterns that may be shaping you.

Module 4 – YOU’RE ALREADY WHOLE

Wholeness might start off as a concept, but here you’ll begin to experience it. You'll explore what it means to connect to your sovereignty and recognize the states in your system where there's flow and coherence. You’ll practice becoming an empathic witness to the parts of you that are stuck or disorganized, and from there, access more clarity, intuition, and impulse. From this space, your relationship to your experiences begins to shift—and your capacity continues to grow.

The practice of these principles doesn’t end with the final module. It becomes a way of being.

What You’ll Experience

This work doesn’t just give you insight—it changes how you experience yourself.

The more you engage with the material, the more you’ll begin to notice subtle but meaningful shifts—not just in how you think, but in how you feel, respond, and relate.

You might find:

More ability to pause and notice before reacting
A softening of self-judgment and a deeper curiosity toward your patterns
A stronger connection to your internal cues—your intuition, impulses, and instincts
Less overwhelm and more capacity to be with what arises
A deeper sense of feeling comfortable in your body and your life

These aren’t quick fixes or techniques to master. This is the slow, layered process of returning to yourself—of building relationship with the parts of you that have been shaped by survival, and discovering what else becomes possible.

Whether you’re exploring the content solo or in community through the Study Group, what you’re really doing is creating a new foundation for how you live, relate, and move through the world.

Choose Your Path

If you are feel you are in a place where other modalities or treatments haven't wholly delivered, and you are feeling like there is more under the surface that what counselling, or other therapies is getting to, that this course is an incredible way to learn about yourself, to share with others and to receive an extraordinary kind of support while doing it. Very different and arguably much more impactful than self-help, and impactful in a different way than 1-1 therapy or modalities. It has also helped equip me to put a lot of this into more regular practice, rather than to wait until I have an 'SOS' moment.

Oh my gosh. Where to even begin? This program has been an absolute essential experience to my life! It gave me life in a sense. Sounds overboard to those not in a somatic journey, but frankly I don’t know how else to describe it. I wish everyone could embark on this journey of expanding their self-awareness in a safe space that is also filled with like-minded individuals yearning for similar experiences. At times you’ll feel resistance to go deeper but the program and everyone in it will embrace you in the process. Take the leap and go for it!

DISCOVER has helped me feel more grounded in myself and trust myself more. I'm no longer hit with a shot of adrenaline when I open my work email or when my landlord texts me. I've stopped wandering around with a nagging sense that I've somehow done something wrong. And, when that feeling does arise, I'm able to observe it, be curious about it, and move through it (rather than believing it!). Since participating in DISCOVER, it's become easier to ask for what I need and stand up for myself, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Nicole has helped me view whatever comes up as part of the experience of being human. Looking at my experience from a nervous system perspective feels vital to me. I am leaving behind ideas of getting things wrong. My body is intelligent and why would I continue choosing not to listen? Why would I separate what I think is right for me and what my body tells me is right for me? Maybe they can be the same. Thank you Nicole for your great explanations, metaphors, reflection questions and gentle response.

During my time with Nicole in DISCOVER my experience or myself and my world has changed dramatically. I learned that responding to my anxiety trying to fix it or get rid of it was not doing me any good. In the 4 months we spent together doing this work I got off of my anxiety medication and learned of my wholeness. Learning of my wholeness means for me that I am aware of and feel whole. My whole life I have felt broken and fragmented. Nothing has ever helped with that. I love somatic experiencing with Nicole.

Low-self esteem, racing thoughts, hyper-awareness, fear of connection, feeling like I don't belong, wondering why I keep myself busy-busy? DISCOVER allowed me the time and space to go inward. Time to explore those parts of myself that I keep hidden- the parts that feel broken, bad and shameful. The parts the feel unlovable and unbearable. DISCOVER allowed me to realize and feel my wholeness for the first time in my life. I was able to hold my own hand and face the parts of myself that were not safe. And I am able to sit with the discomfort now, knowing that I am whole regardless.

HI,

I'M NICOLE.

Somatic Experiencing®, Feldenkrais®, Somatic Practice, Yoga, & Internal Family System Informed Practitioner

Just like you, I’m a whole being shaped by survival, conditioning, and the ways I’ve learned to navigate the world. I’m here with intention—to evolve, contribute, and support others in doing the same.

I offer intuitive, body-based support that helps people explore their patterns, connect with their inner wisdom, and build the capacity to be with what arises. My approach is layered and rooted in experience—both my own and those I’ve worked with. I guide others not from a place of having it all figured out, but from a place of deep listening and ongoing inquiry.

This work blends the practical with the energetic, the scientific with the unseen. It’s not about fixing. It’s about relating differently—to your experience, your history, and your wholeness. I’m committed to creating spaces where lasting change can happen—at a nervous system level, a cellular level, and a soul level.
