MY CERTIFICATIONS & BACKGROUND:

Before becoming a movement therapist and psychotherapist, I was a professional dancer, choreographer, and theater artist who founded a dance company and directed a yoga and bodywork studio.

I am a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist with a specialty in development and Pre and Perinatal Birth Attachment Therapy. I also have a Master’s in Counseling Psychology.

My certifications include:

Body Mind Centering® Practitioner
Licensed Professional Counselor
Registered Somatic Movement Therapist w/ the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association
Infant Developmental Movement Educator®
Certified Pre and Perinatal Birth Attachment Practitioner

I draw from all of these disciplines to work with any person who wants to overcome pain or restricted movement, seek recovery from trauma or stress, or become more fully connected with their own body and authentic self.

I also specialize in attachment, birth, birth trauma, adoption, developmental, and prenatal and perinatal issues. I am passionate about supporting and working with individuals and families with children with special needs.

Nicole Siegel is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker® and the creator of The Body Compass Method™, based in Austin, Texas and working remotely worldwide.

She works at the intersection of somatic bodywork, nervous system regulation, and relational dynamics — with individuals navigating sexual dysfunction and with couples whose intimacy has lost its charge. Her work is built on a single observation made across hundreds of sessions: that pelvic pain, lost desire, erectile dysfunction, attraction collapse, and emotional over-functioning share the same structural roots. Different symptoms. The same underlying pattern.

The Body Compass Method™ is the framework she developed from that observation. It integrates Sexological Bodywork® with erotic mapping, trauma-informed relational work, and nervous system retraining — structured enough to move things that haven’t moved, embodied enough that the change doesn’t stay conceptual.

Most clients come to her after therapy has helped with everything except this. Many have never worked somatically before.

She is the host of The Nature of Pleasure podcast, creator of the Deep Body Archive™ somatic curriculum, and author of several educational programs including Reset Your Erotic Rhythm — a structured course for couples navigating emotional over-functioning and lost desire.

She works in-person in Austin and remotely with clients worldwide.
