About Nicole
Originally from Peterborough, Ontario, Nicole and her two sisters grew up surrounded by sport from a young age. Nicole competed in gymnastics through elementary school, but when she was introduced to the game of rugby in grade 9, she traded her gymnastic suit in for a pair of cleats and never looked back. Rugby opened many of doors for Nicole, representing her province, country, and back-to-back CIS Gold Medallists: University of Western Ontario..
Over the years, having spent countless hours training, and a comparable number in treatment for injuries Nicole decided to pursue a career as a Certified Athletic Therapist. Her personal experience as an athlete allows her to better relate to clients, the demands placed on them in their sport/activity and the mental and physical hurdles they may be faced with in their training and/or with injury.
