About Nicole

Nicole has always had a passion for movement, teaching, and for helping others. Her degrees are in both dance and psychology, and she has been able to marry these loves by using movement and exercise to guide clients back to better health and living more active lives while educating her clients along the way.

 

Nicole’s life was decimated by chronic pain in her 30s after an auto accident, and it wasn’t until she discovered the power of corrective and therapeutic exercise that she got her life back. From being on disability and unable to work for years, Nicole has come full circle and is teaching beginner dance again as well as working with people privately to help them improve their posture, balance, and strength so they can get back to doing what they love to do.

 

Her background is posture alignment therapy, exercise therapy, Mat Pilates, and personal fitness training. Her work with clients addresses posture, balance, stability, mobility, strength, and cardiovascular health. She is 50-plus herself, so she knows firsthand about the challenges that arise in our bodies as we age.

 

Nicole has helped hundreds of people through her work as an exercise therapist at Egoscue of Philadelphia and as the owner/exercise therapist for Pain Free Philly. In 2024, Pain Free Philly transitioned to Move Strong With Nicole to reflect her shift from exercise therapy to personal training with a focus on posture. Her certifications include Posture Alignment Specialist, Exercise Therapy Skills, Mat Pilates Level 1, and Personal Fitness Trainer.

 

Nicole specializes in working with those who are 50-plus, although all ages can benefit from the comprehensive approach to posture and fitness that she offers.

​

She also teaches weekly beginner adult dance classes and fitness classes for 50-plus. Visit the Classes page for more details.
