Feeling all mixed up and upside down? Nicole hangs upside down for a living! A life’s training in dance and choreography has turned into a passion for Pilates. Nicole is a gifted instructor, who believes in her work. She has created a studio where change happens! It doesn’t come easy, and just like Nicole, you need to become committed to this lifestyle. Pilates is life changing and I can’t think of anyone else better to teach it. Please read our VIB piece on what it’s like to train with Nicole.

How do you make sure you feel good everyday? It’s a balanced mix of nourishment, laughter, and movement. I try to keep things simple.

What inspires you to do the work that you do? Teaching Pilates is creative; the commitment changes one’s perceptions and physical integrity. For me it’s been transformative and centering.

How did you muster up the courage/confidence/stamina to create the life you have? Just by putting one foot in front of the other.

What’s your approach to nutrition? The hardest challenge for me is to eat consistently when hunger arises.

How do you stay inspired when difficult challenges arise? By staying in the moment.

What do you do to stay in balance – in other words, how do you balance things like your career, your well-being, your happiness, your friends, your children, your spouse, dating, your fitness, your nutrition, your hobbies, etc.? I work my life like an open ended puzzle or like a mystery that only gets partially solved. Joy is in the smallest discoveries.

What’s your ultimate indulgence – just for you? A double feature at the movies.

What advice do you have for women/men aiming to have it all? In other words, what do you do or have you done that works for you? I try to be grateful for what I’ve got.

Thank you for speaking to Venus In Balance and for inspiring so many!
