Nicole graduated from Victoria University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Sciences) and in 2000 with a Master of Health Science (Osteopathy). She then travelled and worked in a number of private clinics around Australia before settling in Sydney to have children and run a paediatric/women’s health osteopathic practice for 6 years. More recently she volunteered on a number of child and women’s health projects in Papua New Guinea, before returning to her hometown Melbourne in 2021 and working with the Sports and Spinal group in St Kilda.

Professionally, Nicole has a Postgraduate Certificate in Paediatric Manual Therapy from VU (2011), a Postgraduate Certificate in Ageing from Melbourne University (2022) and has completed numerous professional development courses in Barral visceral manipulation, cranial osteopathy and women’s health. Nicole has also completed additional training in hands on therapy for breast cancer patients with surgery/radiation scars, fibrous tissue, adhesions, capsular contraction, cording, post DIEP and TRAM abdominal surgery.

Her role as she sees it is to soften the physical impact breast cancer treatment leaves to help women move past breast cancer and back into life.
