From Students…

“Taking Nicole’s Saltwatercure movement classes have been a gift during my healing journey. They’ve helped me let go of control, be present in the moment, and rediscover small moments of joy and silliness even in difficult times . I’m deeply grateful for this space of support, strength, and gentle healing. Nicole’s generosity and commitment to supporting the Saltwatercure breast cancer Fund  also reflects her heart and purpose behind every class.

“Speaking from my heart and body, Nicole’s mobility classes make me feel a sense of Community. From the glass jar that receives my donation to the paper quote with suggested theme at our practice spot and the movement that we all share with her guidance and energizing playlists. Thank you, Nicole, for all that you do for breast cancer survivorship through the Saltwatercure Fund that reminds me about the power of gratitude, humbleness, and quality of Life.”

Nicole’s Saltwatercure Mobility classes are so much more than a class to me. They are about giving back to my community and especially the Saltwatercure Fund. 100% of the donations from these classes go to Nova Scotians affected by breast cancer. My mom and all of my mom’s sisters have been affected by breast cancer. 

These mobility classes are exactly what I needed as I age! I always learn more about my mobility requirements and I have so much fun doing these classes. Nicole also always gives us a little treat each class (stickers, mobility tools, or sweets!!!) I encourage you to try one of Nicole’s classes.

I have had the pleasure of attending Nicole’s water classes over the past few months. At first, I was unsure how I would feel learning a new style of movement than the usual “downward dog” poses I was most comfortable with, but knowing Nicole, I was assured that her class would be worth it.

Of course, she was right! I began her class confused, out of my comfort zone and very wobbly, which quickly resulted in annoyance and anger because I was doing something that my brain didn’t like. I was forced to confront my “fight or flight” instincts, telling me to leave the class early and never come back! But, I stuck it out and talked my feelings through with Nicole after the class. Apparently, the anger and frustration that I had experienced were normal sensations that often come up in classes where you are doing poses that will not only strengthen you in various ways physically, but also challenge you mentally. Much like the ocean, the water movement classes can both test and soothe you, but ultimately, you come out of them knowing yourself a little better.
If you are interested in broadening your movement experience as well as connecting with your psychological awareness, then Nicole’s classes are definitely for you! – Abby, Dartmouth, NS

I leave class feeling more centered, light and relaxed, with more ease in my body. Thankful to Nicole to learn Bowspring inspired movement! I am rewiring my body and getting stronger.

I have been taking classes with Nicole for several years now and they just keep getting better. She is extremely conscientious and every class is modified to best suit her students’ needs. They are fun and challenging and every one leaves me feeling recharged and relaxed.

Nicole has customized my classes to work with my specific needs after major abdominal surgery. I am amazed at how much stronger, stable and flexible I have become. She is cognizant of how the general aging process affects my abilities. I use many of the movements while at work too.
