Nicole’s Story: How Pilates Healed her Back - and Changed her life
When Nicole first tried Pilates, she had spent years searching for relief from chronic lower back pain.
She had been dancing for many years, and injured herself during a dance intensive while she was in college. While she never got an official diagnosis, Nicole experienced severe pain in her lower back for years - and the usual approaches didn’t help.
Massage, physical therapy, and chiropractic care all provided temporary relief at best. Over time, she began to lose mobility in her spine and her hips too.
How Pilates Changed Everything
Then, two years after her injury, Nicole tried her first Pilates mat class at another dance intensive and felt that even just one class really started to balance out her body.
So she began practicing Pilates regularly, and finally found relief from daily pain. That experience changed the direction of her life.
From Student to Teacher
Nicole started teaching Pilates mat in 2015, and went through further training in 2018 to expand her teaching practice to include all of the apparatus - the Reformer, the Cadillac, the Chair and more. What drives her work is straightforward: she knows firsthand what it feels like to live with chronic pain, and she knows what it feels like when movement finally helps.
At Studio Evolve, Nicole works with clients who are navigating injury recovery, chronic pain and the kind of tension that builds up over years of life in a body. her background as a dancer gives her a deep understanding of how the body moves - and how to help it move better.
