Core + Women’s Fitness
+ Perinatal Testimonials
Real client success stories. The next one could come from you!
I work with clients who want to strengthen their core and posterior chain for general fitness and with my perinatal (pre+postnatal) clients to continue getting stronger (not just maintaining strength) during pregnancy as well.

“Nicol is an integral part of my birth prep and support team, which any first time mom needs! We started working out together when I was 8 weeks pregnant, and from the beginning she knew the best exercises to ensure a manageable heart rate, safe movement, and effective prep for the changes my body would soon experience. As each week and milestone passed, I was thrilled to see myself actually getting stronger and noticing my arm, back, oblique and glute muscles really looking lean, all while my belly kept getting bigger! I am 40 weeks now and feel so much more prepared for childbirth and postpartum recovery, and I could not have gone on this journey without Nicol. I know I would not have pushed myself (or known how to safely do so at each stage) and I’m grateful for Nicol’s passion, knowledge, and support. Her workouts are not only challenging but energizing. Even if I am feeling crummy, by the end of the sessions I feel refreshed and rejuvenated, albeit worn out! Nicol pays attention to form and posture more than any other trainer I’ve worked with, and knows exactly what verbal cues to give so I can make real time adjustments and get the most out of our sessions. She is also acutely aware of how injuries can affect movement, and offers up modifications to maximize strength gains. Nicol is a master in her craft and her passion for helping people is what truly makes her such a joy to work with! I can’t thank her enough for how much stronger I feel now. I also currently also train with her postpartum!”
“I found Nicol when I was coming out of a recent stint at rehab for back spasms, specifically lower back. Her classes were by far the best there and I started going several times a week; when the pandemic started I was in the best shape of my life. thankfully, Nicol continued virtual classes where I attended and I could keep my core strong and back pain at bay. When I got pregnant late in 2020, Nicol was my biggest cheerleader and my obvious choice for a prenatal trainer. As my back got more and more stress put on it from my growing belly, Nicol made adjustments to each session to ease the tension while still strengthening my core. In fact, I got stronger during pregnancy! I’m sure my back pain would have been much worse without her. I could come to a session describing my specific aches or soreness - whether it was my left hip (hips widening), my low back/ SI joints, or my upper back and posture, Nicol identified exactly what the culprit was and planned our sessions around strength and healing. I always felt better afterwards, and the relief was lasting. She’s incredibly intuitive and so passionate about body work. Postpartum, my recovery has been swift and pleasant thanks to her supportive sessions. I truly can’t imagine making this journey without Nicol!”
Emily started private one-on-one perinatal coaching 3x weekly at 8 weeks pregnant. Her goal was to stay fit safely throughout her pregnancy, and she got so much strong(er). Yes, during her pregnancy! Not only did Emily refine her form, techniques, and gain more mobility and strength…she got leaner and toned throughout pregnancy. She loved how defined and strong her arms looked! Most importantly, she pushed for less than 20 minutes and her son was born! Emily credits all the squats, lunges, glute, core, diaphragmatic breath and kegel work we did during our sessions as it helped more than she could have imagined during labor and delivery!

“I have worked with Nicol one-on-one for years now, in-person and virtually due to the pandemic. She helped me stay motivated to workout while I continue to work from home. She is an amazing training who has seamlessly adjusted to delivering virtual, tailored sessions I can do with her live from my own home. Even virtually, I feel very supported as she ensures I perform the exercises correctly. Nicol is able to work with me on fine tuning my form as much as she did in-person! I love the convenience of doing personal training from home. Nicol encourages me to push myself and I definitely notice progress in my strength and muscle tone. I am now pregnant and continue to train with Nicol and am excited to get stronger throughout my prenatal and postnatal journey as well! She is phenomenal and I absolutely recommend virtual personal training with Nicol to everyone!”

“I’m delighted to write this testimony. The expertise and guidance Nicol provided through my strength training sessions postpartum have been amazing and invalu. Her consistent focus and redesigning of my sessions kept me progress consistently. I love how Nicol focuses on the form rather than the number of reps. The forms are so imperative to building the body. I truly enjoyed working with Nicol. She is tough but such a pleasure to work with.”

'“I train privately with Nicol and love that she always takes the effort to tailor the session to ensure it meets your fitness goals and objectives, while making sure it is never “routine”. A patient and encouraging coach, she intuitively knows when to push you to achieve your best. Her heavy focus on form ensured you get the maximum out of each session, while helping to set a solid foundation. I highly recommend taking one-on-one sessions with Nicol for a fun yet effective workout. Her high energy, keen eye for form, and encouraging motivation will get you to your fittest shape yet.”
