Nicole’s approach to massage is different from what a standard expectation of what a massage is. With an advanced variety of studies in Chinese medicine and being a doctor of acupuncture, Nicole does not take the approach no pain no gain. She believes in getting past the body’s fight or flight response in which most people operate on auto pilot due to the stresses of life allowing the body to relax entering the REM sleep state in which it is easier to release muscle adhesion and deep knots imbedded in the fascia allowing the body to heal by activating homeostasis. Sometimes what we think or where we think the pain is coming from is not actually what it stems from.
