Nicole’s Story & Mission
As a graduate of Psychology and Philosophy, a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Strength & Conditioning Coach, Nicole has made it her life mission to use the tools of exercise, movement and mindset as a catalyst for demolishing all personal and physical barriers.
Nicole has worked with clientele of all age ranges, levels of experience and injury history. From your desk bound Jockey to Olympic and professional athletes, she has witnessed first hand that with the right guidance and correct dosage of exercise, that all can prosper and improve their human potential.
As a coach of Human Performance and a student of Behavioral Analysis, Nicole holds education, experience and knowledge at a high value. After graduating early from Suffolk University in Boston, MA with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, Nicole attended the Academy of Personal Training-where the beginning of her love for fitness began. This led her on to complete an internship, followed by six years of employment, at the mecca of all gyms, Mike Boyle’s Strength and Conditioning. Hungry for more knowledge about injury mitigation and rehab, Nicole also received her Licensure in Massage Therapy from Cortiva Institute and became part of the Movement as Medicine team.
In December of 2017, Nicole created Muscle Mind Movement – a training system encompassing both physical and mental strength training and sports therapeutic massage therapy. With the birth of Muscle Mind Movement, Nicole began offering her services to members of the Belmont Country Club and as well as to clientele seeking concierge services in the Greater Boston area. One year later, Nicole developed her online personal training business as an extension to her in-person services. An online training app that was first made accessible only to her in-person clientele but later gained traction and converted into national and international online training sales and clientele. In April of 2019, Nicole decided it was time to give Muscle Mind Movement an official home and as a result opened the doors to her own private gym in Wi******er, MA. Since, Nicole has been offering her services mainly out of her private studio, while also continuing to work with clientele at the Belmont Country Club and online.
After years of hands on experience, Nicole has refined her manual skills in treating clientele with a plethora of injury history of both chronic and acute ailments. Paired with her knowledge in training clientele with very specific training goals and her background in Psychology, Nicole has developed a lens for sport and play that is very unique. Combining her skills in both therapy and training has not only given her the tools needed to help others achieve their goals, but it has also allowed her to create a vision of what it means to posses a quality life and maintain independence.
Nicole is continuously attending educational courses and staying up to date with the latest research and the most effective modalities. Some of her certifications of completion include, the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Functional Release (FR-Lower Extremity), and Positional Release Therapy (PRT – Upper Extremity).
Nicole is currently challenging herself by training Gracie Juijitsu under Olympic Judo Medalist and Professor, Travis Stevens. Other hobbies of hers include, traveling, skiing and free diving.
