Coaching + Mineral Balancing
Nutrition
Food is an extremely important piece of the healing puzzle... You are what you eat! We help you create sustainable habits to improve your relationship with food and give your body the fuel it needs.
Lifestyle
From the food in your pantry to the shoes on your feet, true health means addressing every aspect of you & your life. We dive deep into sleep, stress, movement, exercise, and more.
Detoxification
Using safe, gentle and effective methods, we help you learn to support your bodies natural detox pathways, helping your get rid of the bad stuff, and make room for the good.
Supplements
Rather than randomly recommending supplements and "seeing what works" we utilize functional medicine testing as a guide to point us toward exactly what supplements (and in what amounts) your body needs
Creating health, not treating disease.
Rather than going on a "wild goose chase," treating one symptom, then treating another, we work to rebalance the body as a whole in order to create wellness, so your body and mind become so healthy & resilient that disease and symptoms go away naturally.
What does a program Look Like?
1 / Discovery Call + Intake Forms
Get to know Nick, discuss your goals and see if you might be a good fit to embark on a healing journey together. If you decide to work together, he will send intake forms and assessments to fill out before your first call.
2 / Initial Call + HTMA Testing
The process begins with an hour long call to begin diving deep into your symptoms, your goals and the foundations of health. After our first call, you will supply the lab a simple hair sample and they will run an HTMA test. This incredible test gives us a full blueprint of your biochemistry - with information regarding lifestyle, toxicity, stress, organ health, nutritional imbalances and more.
2 / Follow up Calls + Starting your protocol
Once we have a baseline of your current state of health, we then implement various holistic approaches to help you heal. This can include nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification support, supplements, and other modalities. This program is tailored TO YOU and includes biweekly coaching calls and messaging support with Nick.
3 / Re-tests and Continued Support
This is NOT one-and-done cleanse or detox. This program is about making sustainable habits, making new choices and rebalancing your body from the ground up. Lifestyle check-in's and HTMA tests every few months with constant tweaking and adjusting of your program is required for true healing!
Whats the deal with Minerals?
Minerals are the "spark plugs of life." They run every single process in your body. Without the right balance of minerals; you can't make energy, you can't detox, you can't do any of the things that, well, keep you healthy! Our goal is to help you achieve mental, emotional and physical potential through balancing these important minerals in your body. Lifestyle, nutrition and HTMA testing is how we help you do just that.

Foundations first.
Just like you can't build a house on a weak foundation. You also can't build a healthy body, mind and spirit without the proper health foundations. Many people spend years jumping right to all the fancy detoxes and supplements without ever having built a strong foundation, only to get sicker and sicker. We start with the basics of eating, breathing, thinking, sleeping, and moving - helping you restore your health from the ground up.

How is the "massage and movement" approach different?Unlike traditional massage, M&M uses a combination of deep bodywork from the practitioner and specific movements from the client. It's not just a therapy that is "done to you," It's an educational process, with the goal of teaching your body to move and to operate in a new way. M&M is done in a series of sessions, each building on the next. We acknowledge that change takes time, and that a problem in one area means the rest of the body has compensated for it (You can't "fix" the problem without addressing the whole body) We are not “fixing you.” Many practitioners are “fix-it” practitioners who see a problem area and go digging away at it. Instead of treating individual symptoms, we aim to help make the STRUCTURE of your entire system more aligned in gravity, so that you can FUNCTION more optimally
-
How does massage & movement therapy feel?M&M is generally relaxing & rejuvenating to receive. While certain areas of the body may have more sensation, depending upon chronic holding patterns & injuries, the experience should not be painful and should leave you feeling energized and grounded. Some describe it as "Bodywork with a side of personal training."
-
Is massage & movement for me?Anyone and everyone can benefit from massage and movement therapy! We all have some forms of postural dysfunctions, whether that be from repetitive strain in sports, sitting in the same positions for hours on end, or just the way we live our lives day to day. Utilizing massage therapy techniques in conjunction with movement education can help to get you out of those long-standing patterns that may be causing you pain, discomfort or predisposing you to injury.
-
What can I expect from my first session?Each session starts with 10-15 minutes of interview and posture/movement assessments. After assessments, a typical session consists of 60-75 minutes of hands-on bodywork and movement. During the session, you will be asked to stand, to make movements, and walk. Work is mostly done on a table but may also be done seated and standing. Draping (a sheet covering your body) is not used during M&M, because you will be moving on and off the table throughout the session. Please dress to your comfort level. Most clients wear either running shorts, compression shorts or underwear on the bottom and for women, a bra or sports bra on top. For men, if wearing underwear, please do not wear baggy boxers... boxer briefs or briefs are better suited for movement/bodywork. The pressure of the work ranges from very light to very deep depending on your needs. Techniques also are adapted for each client.
-
How should I prepare for my session?Please come to your session showered & clean, without any creams/lotions on your skin, and wearing NO perfumes/fragrances. Regarding clothing, please dress to your comfort level. Most clients wear either running shorts, exercise shorts or compression shorts (biker shorts) on the bottom and for women, a sports bra or tank top on top. Pro Tip: Dress as if you were going to the gym or to a physical therapy appointment, you will be moving on and off the table throughout the session.
-
Will the changes from massage & movement actually last?This is another incredible thing about M&M compared to many other hands-on modalities... the changes actually last! Rather than just aiming to "relax the body" or "fix your ache or pain," M&M is all about re-education through touch and movement. We and aim to teach your brain and body to move and to operate in a new way, making you an agent in your own healing. This means that the real changes occur days to weeks after the session, when you begin using your body in new and better ways. This creates deep permanent change because you are now acting different in your daily life, solidifying change in the body. Think of it like this: Once you've had M&M, you're like a Jaguar. No matter how long you drive a Jaguar, its not going to turn back into a Ford.
