She is the proud mother of three of her favorite humans and “Coco” to her favorite little adventure companion, and a lifelong believer in the power of community, connection, and collective healing.

GirlTREK feels like home because it embodies so much of what Nicole holds dear—joy, sisterhood, wellness, purpose, and the power of our village. Whether she is leading a walk, facilitating a restorative circle, traveling, getting lost in a good book, meditating by the ocean, or simply laughing and loving life with family and friends, she treasures the simple moments and understands that joy is not an afterthought—it is part of the work.

Nicole often says that we are the wildest dreams of our ancestors. With every step she takes, she seeks to honor those who came before her while helping create a world where future generations can thrive.
