About Nicole
Nicole began practicing Pilates over 14 years ago initially as a way to strengthen her core as well as a way to rehab a back and neck injury. After a short time working with the method she realized how much stronger, balanced and pain free she had become, allowing her to pursue her other fitness passions such as running, hiking, weight training, and cycling.
Excited to see the positive effects the work was having on herself and others around her, Nicole set out to pursue a career as a personal trainer, Pilates instructor, body worker and health coach.
Nicole holds certifications through Balanced Body, National Academy of Sports Medicine, Anusara Yoga, NIA, and AFAA and is currently completing her second Pilates certification through Polestar Pilates. She is also a Reiki practitioner and has studied many different methods of bodywork helping to bring her clients body to their optimal level of health and performance, enhancing their lives to their fullest potential.
Nicole’s goal working with each client is to design programming to focus on their individual needs and goals, whether it be training for a marathon, weight loss, lean muscle gain, rehabbing injuries or simply feeling alive, healthy, strong and centered into their bodies.
Nicole currently has two fully equipped studios in the Austin area, one in downtown Austin (www.austintexaspilates.com) and one in Round Rock (Synergypilatestx.com) and offers Private and small group training options.
Over the years, Nicole’s clients have benefited from her innovative style, resourcefulness, knowledge and skill to guide them towards their optimum health and fitness.
In her free time she enjoys exploring Austin, healthy cooking, paddle boarding, hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
