Through all of her work in education Nicole was proudly inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honors Society as a Leader in the field of Nursing and she sat on the George Washington University Hospital Ethics Committee for several years.

Although she is no longer practicing her work as a birth doula, her many years’ experience as a birth worker influences the work she does every day.

Here are some of the workshops, classes and offerings she has provided in the past:
Prior to all of this, Nicole completed a Masters of Arts in Administration and Management from New York University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Illinois where she was a Ford Foundation Scholar.

She has lived, studied, worked, volunteered, and traveled in over 45 countries around the world. What continues to inspire and amaze her is the resilience and intelligence of the people she encounters, and how they gracefully face the highs and lows of life.

In physics, fusion is known as the process by which nuclei join in order to create energy. It is believed that this is what created us, the sun, and the stars. Like the birth of a star, sun, or distant corner of our universe, the birth of our children is no less a miracle. Indeed, it is an extraordinarily graceful miracle, presenting us with new joys and forever altering our lives. And eventually these particles will begin to separate at the end of life. It is Nicole’s great privilege and honor to be there as a healing witness to these shifts in other human’s lives.

When Nicole isn’t teaching classes or hosting one of her signature Death Cafes, you can find her playing with her two adorable cats: Apollo and Hermes.
