About

Nicole is a NYC-based Doctor of Physical therapy specializing in performing arts. She graduated from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in Health Sciences and earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from New York University. She is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and is a graduate of BASI's Pilates with dance specialization program. Additionally, she has taken advanced coursework to specialize in treating temporomandibular (TMJ) dysfunctions and voice-related conditions.

 

Nicole was introduced to dance and theater at an early age and was a competitive Irish dancer for 14 years. In high school and college, she had a few injuries that required physical therapy which led her to pursue a career in performing arts medicine. She is very grateful to the PTs who understood that not dancing wasn't an option and instead helped her return as a stronger dancer with the proper tools to continue take care of her body.

 

Nicole has previously had the amazing opportunity to work with over 25 Broadway, off-Broadway and nationally touring productions (including School of Rock, Waitress, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Tootsie, and more). She has had extensive clinical experience treating a variety of performing artists including dancers, actors, vocalists, musicians, and people who like to move. Nicole understands the exceptional physical demands required of artist-athletes and strives to help all of her patients find balance for healthy, sustainable performances. 

​

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys Pilates and yoga classes, hiking with her dogs Twyla and Chloe, seeing shows, and traveling with her husband, Aleks.
