AboutĀ meĀ
Hi, Iām Nicole!
Bestselling Author
Researcher
Speaker
AI Pioneer
A thought leader and trailblazer bringing innovation in science with the best of ancient knowledge together to uplift you and the world.Ā
How do you do it?
At a dinner party one night, I was introduced "This is Nicole. She is all over the internet!"
"Teach me how to do social media."
"How did you become a bestselling author?"
"Will you be my business coach?"
"AI? Can it really help me?"
These are the questions I get. I am a learner and intellectual, so I pick up new information fast. I am strategic thinker and can connect the dots when others can't. I am a sought out business partner for my insights and advice.
But who am I really?Ā A meditating yogi. A mom. A friend. I am the manager of the future. I am a guide waiting to be asked.
Nicole believes in training and mentoring with the best, whether itās the living line of Paramahansa Yoganandaās Swamis at whose feet she sat to align and ground herself spiritually, the authors and doctors at the first ever Sports Medicine clinic where she worked and conducted research, or the original Social Media front runners such as actress, talk show host and film producer, Ricki Lake.
She is now mentoring and training with the values oriented front runners of Artificial Intelligence who are diving deep into the practical applications of AI - for business growth, healthcare research, original art and so much more.
Her teachers include the founder of Mindvalley, Vishen Lakhiana, pictured here with Nicole when she worked as a professional yoga blogger for his company.
Whether you are a Hollywood star, trying to learn the newest technology, or a healer in a small town, Nicole sees your Infinite Potential.
She has a deep passion for mentoring & coaching yoga professionals and healers and all heart-centered business owners and authorsĀ with AI, Social Media and Marketing because she knows if you are successful attracting and serving your clients and students our world will be a better place because of your work.Ā
A Trailblazer Then and a Trailblazer Now
With 40 years as a yoga professional, author, researcher and business owner, Nicole decided over a decade ago to focus on Social Media as she launched her best-selling book, The 2 Minute Yoga Solution FAST and EASY Stress and Back Pain Relief for ANYONE at ANYTIME which helped propel her onto TV, online and in print.
Working with the Ricki Lake Show starting in 2013, Nicole became part of the original Twitterati back in Twitter's more innocent days.
When Ricki Lake relaunched her popular TV show, Nicole became her online, Health and Wellness contributor and was invited to be in the audience for several special shows -- including her ground breaking show where Nicole and the other Social Media Correspondents were literally the first people ever allowed in a TV Studio to live cast to Twitter and Facebook.
It was where the Twitterarti was born. Nicole and her collegues were the original Social Media Correspondents, going on to be invited to work the Oscars for Vanity Fair and other events.
Now she is on the path to be one of the top 0.1% of Executives, Founders and CEOs, using AI. Already using AI applications in her businesses, she is ready to share her knowledge.
From writing AI assisted emails, flyers, social media content, blog posts, to creating diverse and appealing images and more she is streamlining her own business, upgrading her presence and saving time and money. This leaves her with more time and energy to deeply connect on a personal level with her students, clients, business partners, colleagues, friends and family.
A goal from as long back as I can remember, I wanted to conduct scientific research and publish in medical journals.
Becoming the Research Assistant for the Center of Sports Medicine, founded by Dr. Garrick, fulfilled that dream when I became a co-author of the paper, āInjuries in Adult Recreational Athletesā¦ā[link]Ā published in the prestigious American Journal of Sports Medicine. I went on to publish several more pub-med level scientific papers [link] even after leaving the clinic and working in the first of itās kind, Sports Medicine Shop, where I helped fit orthopedic devises, and filled other prescriptions and gave advise on everything from Thera-bands to toe separators.
By then, I was training yoga teachers and soon was teaching advanced therapeutic applications of yoga before the field of Yoga Therapy was even born. Speaking was a part of my dreams from a young age and I found myself with speaking engagements more and more. I was also married and had two children.
Being a devoted mother, volunteering in our community, and running a business, I may have looked like superwoman (or wished I did), but it took itās toll.
I just want to pause here and be real with you. Burning the candle at both ends is not healthy. I managed to find ways with yoga and other health hacks, to get a lot done and be there for my kids. I wish I knew all of the things that I know now about how to take care of myself, how to be more productive ā all in ways that work for me, work for the person who I am, not someone else.
My experience running down someoneās elseās path, one that wasnāt meant for the way I need to do my business to be successful on my terms, the way my body, mind and spirit need to be nurtured, are different. There is a lot that we can learn from others, but in the end we need to individualize what works for us. This is why I always individualize for people!
If I had known what I know now, I might have been able to avoid a major surgery and so much more. I am on a mission to help others find their best way to do the things that make them feel whole, loved, nurtured, healthy and successful on their own terms.
That was the birth of 2 Minute Yoga.
By now I had written many training manuals for yoga teachers and therapeutic applications of yoga, including one for a PrenatalĀ Yoga Teacher Training program that I developed. I also had some newspaper and magazine articles published. But I still hadnāt written a book - another life long goal. In 2012, I wrote the bestselling book, The 2 Minute Yoga Solution, FAST and EASY Stress and Back Pain Relief for ANYONE at ANYTIME [link]. Another first as at that time, as no one was offering yoga practices that were less than 30 minutes. I was putting myself out on a limb in the yoga field to claim that you can get results from a short practice.
My book opened lots of doors! I had adventures that I could not have imagined.
I was invited as a guest on TV, online radio programs (this was before podcasts) e-magazines and blogs.
I became an Ambassador for Mindvalleyās new Zenward Yoga programĀ and my 2 Minute Yoga Challenge was the most popular one by far within the program ā because when you use my methods, you can benefit greatly from a short practice.
Nicole became a paid blogger for Mindvalley - almost all of the yoga blogs on their site remain ones that she wrote.
Nicole went on to co-author several other best selling books.
As her reputation grew, she was asked to be on the Yoga Alliance Committee to set the standards for Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. As one of the pioneers/front runners/innovators of Yoga Therapy, Nicole was placed on the International Association of Yoga Therapists committee to implement the newly formed educational standards for Yoga Therapist training and the accreditation of Yoga Therapy schools.
I am seen hearing having fun with my friend and colleague, international model and award winning actress, Anu Aggarwal
During this time I also was delving deeper into discovering my own spiritual path and the challenges and joys that it brings.
I became a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the internationally acclaimed book, Autobiography of a Yogi. I studied at the feet of two of his direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda and Rev. John Laurence. I was initiated into the highest levels of Kriya Yoga.
I realized that I always had a tendency towards anxiety that most would never guess as I am the kind of person who would always plow ahead anyway. Like most people I had emotional triggers that could flare at unexpected times. Yoga, released me from the underlying anxiety and removed or lessened my triggers. You can find some of my published stories of miraculous adventures and blissful joy here.
Now it is all about YOU
I know how easy it is to get lost in what to do, how to do it and to loose sight of your goals, because you are just working too hard and trying to make things work.
Like everything I do, I study it, research it, and try it out and then I share it, teach and even start a business if it will help more people, so others can have the sometimes miraculous feeling moments like I have had.
Now I am ready to share all the I have learned and keep on learning - I am a Learner as much as I am a Teacher - with you. So that you can be happy and healthy on your business journey.
You can be you.
