​

Hello, I am Nicole.  I am the founder of Illume Nutrition and the creator of The Recovery Success Method.

​

Over the past 10 years, I have led and been a core team member developing and delivering healthcare plans for hundreds of patients managing various illnesses.

​

My particular interest involves improving mood, mental clarity, energy, and overcoming cravings for substances by assessing gut health, inflammation, sleep quality, stress management, blood sugar regulation, balancing neurotransmitters, and more.

 

My passion as a wellness professional can be attributed to one core value: empowering clients to make better decisions for their own health. I have found that once empowered with individually relevant guidance, people often take control over their health choices, develop a new relationship to food and their bodies, and experience tangible mental and physical health results. 

 

I believe that the professional/client relationship influences the quality of treatment and results. My clients and I creatively align toward the client’s success and accountability via active listening and non-judgment. I use a cooperative, individualized approach to nutrition counseling, yoga therapy, mindfulness, and other wellness modalities.

 

I believe in the appropriate use of whole foods, herbs, and supplements as needed. I create partnerships with clients that are motivational, respectful, and, most importantly, fun.

Some of the results my clients have seen include: anxiety reduction around skin irritation through simple dietary changes with skin improvement within one month; improved panic symptoms and sleep with yoga therapy and nutrition; and overcoming substance cravings and preventing relapse from alcohol and drugs. 

I have Clinical Nutrition Specialist credentials, an M.S. in Clinical Nutrition, previously Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, and am a yoga teacher.

 

I pledge to remain curious on your healthcare journey; always seeking out knowledge and information in order to best serve you.

 

During my free time I enjoy being in nature, doing yoga, reading, enjoying time with family and friends, and cuddling with my cat Peppercorn.
