Originally from San Jose, California, Nicole joins us having graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine from Pepperdine University and having ventured to Ireland to further pursue her physiotherapy studies, obtaining a Masters in Physiotherapy from the University College of Dublin. She is currently working at two of our school locations. 

She grew up participating in many sports including gymnastics, soccer, track and field, and cross country and decided to pursue a career in physiotherapy after injuring herself during a race in high school. She attended the school physio at the time and became interested and inspired by the physical therapists on site there. This led to her working with sports teams in Ireland and in sports-driven schools here in New Zealand. 

Her aim is to rehabilitate those patients she sees so that they may return to participating in sports and everyday life without pain or issue. She works together with her patients to develop tailored recovery plans, delivering exercise prescription, manual therapy and dry needling as appropriate.

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys an active lifestyle of dance, yoga and pilates, hiking, horseback riding and indoor rock climbing.
