Nicolette leads my company’s ergo stretch classes twice a week. These short classes are offered to employees to stretch out near the end of a long working day. This class is:
1. Perfect for anyone
2. Only 20 minutes long
3. Does not require you to change your clothes
4. You will not need to take a shower afterwards
5. Is pain relief for neck, shoulders, lower back, and wrists using yoga tune up balls and other light equipment provided
This is one of the popular classes offered at my company, and everyone loves it! I always feel better after going to ergo-​stretch and Nicolette is awesome at helping us work out the kinks in our body and relax. I would highly recommend Nicolette and her classes to anyone!

Nicolette helped me reach health goals I did not achieve for over 10 years within 3 months, 20 lbs, 18″ overall. Over the years I have tried many different approaches to weight loss and management and it wasn’t until I had the help of Nicolette to present the information to me in a encouraging and non-​judgemental way that I was able to achieve my goals and even surpass my own expectations within 90 days and maintain the results. I joined her on-​line support group which provided accountability and support with insightful tips to stay on track and keep mindful of my everyday choices. Her extensive knowledge of exercise and nutrition coupled with her enthusiasm to share her knowledge and help others was the key to my success. I highly recommend Nicolette if you are ready to reach your own health goals, she will customize a plan for you, help you stay on track and be thoroughly invested in your success.

Some of the best Yoga classes I have ever had.
I always feel great afterwards– never tight from holding a pose too long, never exhausted. All my muscles feel gently squeezed and relaxed. There’s so much variety and interest that time just flies by.
She has the expertise to shape the class according to what’s needed.
Of the many many different yoga instructors I’ve tried, and will new ones being squirted out every day, I have found that experience makes a huge difference.
Nicolette is in my Top 3 of all time.

This review is for Nicolette’s health coaching services. She is insightful, patient, & doesn’t overwhelm her clients or have unreasonable expectations about how to reach & maintain goals. She was incredibly approachable & very easy to reach out to. She helped me to gain focus in understanding how I could succeed in multiple areas of my life, just by changing my outlook & habits over time. I highly recommend her services, they’ve been invaluable to me!

Nic is amazing, and she is always inspiring! As a former gym rat I was always tight as a drum, and having joint problems. Taking her classes has helped loosen up, and improve my over all health.

Nicolette is the best! She challenges you but also meets you where you are and is always encouraging. I had only done yoga maybe once or twice before and absolutely hated it. But, she was able to make it calming and enjoyable.
I had also never used Yoga Tune Up balls before, and now I use them everyday!
If you are looking for a fantastic yoga teacher or coach who is able to put you in a mindful state no matter what happened that day, then you should go see Nicolette!

I had my very first yoga experience at Nicolette’s Courageous Core workshop, and it was wonderful! As a beginner, I didn’t really know what to expect, but Nicolette is patient, knowledgeable, fun and encouraging. Her sessions work for novices like me and veterans alike. In addition to great stretches and techniques, she taught us some useful acupressure points. It was definitely worth the money, not to mention the drive to Alameda from San Jose. Thank you to the amazing Nicolette for making it such a positive and rewarding experience. I can’t wait to do it again!

The Yoga Tune Up Quick Fix workshop is fantastic and I highly recommend it! Loved learning about my muscles and self massage. The intention exercise was a perfect way to start with a focus on our minds. Definitely one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Looking forward to the next workshop.

I’ve been going to Nicolette’s yoga class 1x-​2x a week for the last two months. Prior to this, my only experience with yoga was doing the P90X version sporadically, painfully, and with much consternation and antipathy. Nicolette has changed all of that. She is engaging and friendly, and made me feel welcome even as I was grunting and groaning my way through the first month’s worth of classes. She was able to help me become aware of what my body was doing during my practice, and I’ve improved immensely in this short time. I’ve gone from absolutely dreading yoga to being unable to imagine life without it, and I credit this to Nicolette’s excellence as a teacher and a human being. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I highly recommend Nicolette’s acupressure/​energy healing services — amazing. I am going through a horribly tough time in my life — stress, hormonal changes, etc… and visiting her once a week for acupressure has completely changed my life. If you want to better your life mentally/​physically, inside and out, go see Nicolette!!!

Nicolette has become not only an amazing inspirational yoga instructor but also my friend! She has a natural ability to hook you into the practice and take you a little deeper each time. Everytime I leave her class, I feel like I understand my body and mind a little more, I feel it wandering less and focusing on myself and the practice rather than what I will be eating for dinner when I get home (which if you know me well, I am always thinking about food). I go to class slightly filled with my own stress from the world and I leave with a calmer, peaceful, more relaxed me. She works with your personal body asana and makes sure you get the best practice according to your own level. She gives great imagery that helps to relieve the pressures of everyday so you can focus on the present and the future. I highly recommend taking her classes especially if you are new to yoga. I guarantee you will fall in love with her classes and yearn to take more.

I highly recommend Nicolette’s acupressure/​energy healing services. Nicolette took the time to really understand what was going on with body and what was most important to me. During and after my session I was so relaxed. I felt calm, centered and content and my stress just slipped away.

Yoga with Nicolette is fabulous. She creates a comfortable and peaceful environment and is very supportive. The individualized attention is very helpful. Nicolette’s expertise helped me improve my technique, which enhanced my personal yoga practice. She is a bright spirit and a joy to work with.

I’ve been taking yoga from Nicolette for about a year now and she is a wonderful instructor. She is very mindful about getting to know you and your abilities so that she is able to help you achieve your goals yet gently nudge you towards limits you may not have otherwise explored. I also was lucky enough to take a couple of acupressure appointments with her and it was great! I feel very lucky that I have her as part of my regular yoga régime. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is already a practicing yogi or just starting out.

I’ve been taking weekly one-​on-​one yoga classes with Nicolette since last year at Lolo Health Center in Oakland. It’s been years since I’ve done yoga but Nicolette quickly got a sense of my skill level and tailored my classes. Before every class, she asks how my body is feeling and whether I want to work on any specific body parts, and plans the routine accordingly. Every week I’m feeling more flexible and strong, and less tense. My body is so appreciative of the time I’m taking to let it heal after my other workouts.

Nicolette is a passionate yoga instructor and a very caring friend. I really like how she incorporates different yoga styles with the breathing. I also learn about the health benefits of each pose. Her class is unique and fun :)
