Today, she is an Occupational Self-Care Advocate, guiding professionals toward sustainable practices that allow both their businesses and their well-being to flourish in unison.As a practicing herbalist and wellness educator, Nicole brings together ancient herbal wisdom, positive psychology, and sustainable beauty practices. She leads Wellness at Work trainings that empower organizations and individuals to reduce stress, improve communication, and foster healthier, more connected environments. Her newest initiative — the Empowering Beauty, Elevating Wellness Micro Conference — is a donation-based gathering that brings together experts in Ayurveda, sound healing, psychology, homesteading, financial wellness, and functional medicine to explore the body, mind, and soul in harmony.Listeners are invited to follow her journey on Instagram [@adistinctimage] and support the mission by reserving a spot at the conference via Eventbrite: amicroconference.eventbrite.com.
