Nicole Close is a self-proclaimed mermaid touched by breast cancer and the founder of the Saltwatercure Fund. Originally from Vancouver, B.C. she now lives on the east coast of Canada in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Her connection to the ocean and love of surfing were integral to her treatment and healing. It continues to remind her to let go, be more present in her daily life and to continue to play.
“When I surf, the world falls away and I am in the moment, in that space in between movement and stillness; between the past and the future. It is when I am the most present and feel the most alive.”
Nicole makes films, teaches movement, plays in the ocean, raises money for Nova Scotians with breast cancer through the Saltwatercure Fund and offers peer support. She is grateful for her world and happy to share a little bit of it with you.
