Cultivating connection through restorative practices, reflective writing, and kindness

About Me
I am a published author and educator who provides mentorship for writers and non-writers interested in finding their voice, developing their stories, and living a curious and creative life. As part of my personal path, I earned certifications in sound healing and vibrational therapy, meditation, and reiki. These modalities and teachings shifted my perspective and, as I grew into these practices, I experienced the subtle, yet profound, power that was rendered from slowing my pace and paying attention. As I shifted, so did my work. I began using meditation to support my writing, and it was fruitful. In 2020, I published my first book, A Life Suspended: A Mother and Son’s Story of Autism, Extinction Bursts, and Living a Resilient Life.
In 2021, I was inspired to share my inspiration and joy with others through writing workshops, sound healing classes, and with private clients. As my work expanded, I co-founded Lotus & Rose Healing Therapies, a shared space located on Cape Cod in Sandwich, MA. I am passionate about providing opportunities for reflective and restorative practices where healing can occur. Now matter where I am, my intention is to cultivate an environment where people feel cherished and have a sense of belonging—this is how we grow—tending to ourselves and others with care.
I am profoundly grateful to all who have come before me, and all that are here with me now. I look forward to this next cycle of time, am excited to meet new people, and to share with these what I love.
In community and love,
Nicole
