ABOUT HEALTH COACHING AND NUTRITION COUNSELING
“I’VE LEARNED HOW TO NOURISH AND RESPECT MY BODY, INSTEAD OF JUST EATING TO EAT…”
"My 6-month Nutrition Coaching program with Nicole has brought awareness and clarity into my life. For years I had been unsatisfied and frustrated with my food choices and not able to reach my end goals of weight loss and a sense of peace with food.
Now I recognize what foods work for my body and which ones don’t. I’m taking the time to prepare my foods, eat my greens and eat more raw foods. And I am recognizing my old self-sabotaging patterns and using the techniques Nicole has taught me to overcome them. I am sleeping better and I feel better about myself!
In overcoming years of frustration and false starts, I am finally on a path of reaching the goals I have set for myself. I have lost about 10 lbs. and feel more confident and in control of what I am eating."
–Dodie Montgomery, 50, Teacher
I FEEL A NEW FREEDOM WITHIN…
My Nutrition Program with Nicole has really helped me breakthrough issues around food and nurturing myself. For most of my life I have struggled with sugar addiction, cravings, food sensitivities, and confusion and anxiety about just what I could eat.
Nicole showed me how to upgrade the nutritional quality of the foods I eat, techniques to deal with the cravings and anxiety, and ways to make self-care a priority. She gave me delicious recipes and ways to creatively prepare meals that taste good and nourish me.
Now I cook at home about 99% of the time and I have a better understanding of what I can/can not eat due to food allergies. I have more knowledge about food and I don’t feel afraid to eat. I feel a new freedom within.
Nicole is wonderful, loving, gentle and able to adapt and flow with what I was experiencing on a given day. She provided me with a safe space to let go and dig into some deep issues, which allowed me to grow. My life has changed a lot since we first started working together. I am doing more of the work I really enjoy and have made major shifts in letting go of what wasn’t working for me. And that feels great!

"I LOST 15 LBS. AND REACHED ALL MY GOALS!"
I started working with Nicole since January 2012. My experience has been fantastic. I have lost 12 to 15 pounds and feel so much better. I enjoyed the pace. She walks you through everything so the changes don't overwhelm. Just a few of the things I accomplished in this program: sugar cravings are way down, lowered acidity in my body, I eat mindfully now, I love cooking healthy dinners for myself and my family, I am more interested in my overall health and not just my weight, I left a job that I didn't like anymore, my creativity is flowing, I have learned how to relax more!
At the completion of my program as I looked back at all I have accomplished, I realized that Mid-life has a way of sneaking up on you. And you get stuck. Nicole's program helped me to get unstuck! I highly recommend her and her programs.
Thank you so much Nicole!

"I AM PROUD TO SAY I AM ACNE FREE!"
I am a female in my mid-thirties that has struggled with relentless acne for over 17 years. I felt hopeless and confused. Every medication that I took would work for a little while and then I was right back to the start. After seeing several Dermatologists I was told that I had a hormonal problem, probably PCOS, and there was not much that could be done for me. I felt as though this was a condition that I was just going to have to live with. Nicole and I worked together for 6 months. I am proud to say that I am acne free. I didn't just learn nutrition, I learned how to meditate and how to de-stress. I am forever grateful to Nicole. The number one thing that I want to thank her for is giving me hope. Giving me the hope that I had the power to change my condition through diet and lifestyle changes. Thank you Nicole! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to make a change.
Kelly Madison, 33, Anesthesiologist
"LIFE-CHANGING!"
Through working with Nicole I have found my peace of mind. Nicole hit the nail on the head when she advised me of which nutritional plan would be best for me. I had to make a list of all the wonderful things that have happened since we started working together. I now:

"MY SKIN - WHICH IS USUALLY ACNE AND ECZEMA PRONE - HAS CLEARED UP ALMOST ENTIRELY!"
Hey Nicole! I'm in week 4 of your program and so far, my skin - which is usually acne and eczema prone - has cleared up almost entirely. I have also noticed that my digestion has improved, I am more "regular" and less bloated. I usually experience sugar cravings and wind up eating processed sweets, but I'm happy to report that those cravings have decreased dramatically and I find myself craving fruit instead of junk. Thank you!
Bailey, 23, Grad Student
"NOW I WILL EAT HEALTHILY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE..."
When I began working with Nicole, I knew very little about nutritional issues. I had struggled with weight gain throughout my life and had developed health issues from obesity, inactivity and poor eating habits.
In our sessions I have learned so much about nutrition, healthy food choices and preparation and now I feel that I am equipped to make sound choices to nurture myself. My appreciation for physical activity has returned and I am committed to returning to activities I’ve enjoyed.
My ability to care for myself has improved and I am feeling much better about myself and my future. During the time I’ve worked with Nicole, I have lost more than 20 pounds and feel that I will continue to lose weight and improve my health. My new knowledge and ability support the efforts to lose weight.
Nicole was always understanding and supportive and took a positive approach to overcoming my reticence or inactivity. This program has changed my entire outlook on food and on my personal choices in that regard. Now I will eat healthily for the rest of my life, enjoying the benefits of energy, strength and stamina that are the rewards of the work we’ve done together.

"I'VE LOST 25 POUNDS AND NO LONGER CRAVE JUNK FOOD!"
When I met Nicole 3 months ago, I felt tired, overweight, and unmotivated but ready to do something about it. Through these counseling sessions with Nicole, I have gained the tools and support that I needed to make healthy lifestyle changes. I have lost 25 pounds and I no longer crave “junk food”. Now I crave healthy foods and I understand what my body needs and wants to feel good!

"THANK YOU FROM MY STOMACH AND MY ENTIRE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!"
I just wanted to say ‘thank you' from my stomach and my body's entire digestive system for the transformational spring detox program this month. I knew, even though I am a very healthy woman, that my diet was less than perfect. My morning and evening routines were not supporting the health that I knew was possible for me. Every week, I came to class knowing that I would be infused with your beautiful and vibrant energy, your tried and true wisdom.

"I'VE LOST 23 LBS! WORKING WITH [NICOLE] HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND I COULDN'T BE MORE GRATEFUL."
After a year and a half, I wasn’t sure I would feel good again. There were so many different physical things that started happening I didn’t know how to approach it. I started with a D.O. doctor and who felt my problems might be hormonal. After learning how low my hormone levels were I thought this must be the right track. After taking bio identical hormones for nearly 6 months, I really wasn’t feeling better. Then I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. I had gained almost 40 pounds in a short period of time yet I was only eating 800 to 1000 calories per day. I was walking until my energy was so low that all I could do was work, go home, and go to bed. I was tired of being tired. I started looking for a yoga class, found Nicole’s name and thought maybe a nutritionist might help. It has been 3 months and I finally am starting to regain my energy! She discovered the way that I need to eat for my metabolism and I can’t say enough about how that has changed my life. I am no longer craving sweets, but she has helped find a healthy way to satisfy that if I do want something sweet. The things that I wanted when I first went to Nicole were to learn how to eat and not have to think about it anymore and to heal. With Nicole’s holistic approach and one on one coaching, I am now moving forward toward my goals. Working with her has changed my life and I couldn’t be more grateful. I know that she could help anyone who wants to learn how to eat and to heal.

"I'M HAPPY ABOUT MY BODY!"
In working with Ms. Fey, I've lost 5 lbs., gotten away from energy crashes, gained significant amounts of energy, and I feel and look better as a result. The best thing is that as long as I do as we planned, I don't ever have to worry about my weight or health and "I'm happy with my body!
James Eun, 20, Student, Athlete
I have just finished my 12 session course with Nicole Fey and found it to be incredibly informative, helpful and thought provoking! Her approach to recapturing control of your own health is done is an effective, nonjudgmental and encouraging method-It works, plain and simple. I am on a new course, with a customized plan, down the road of how I think about and utilize food.
Changing decades old habits did not and will not happen over-night or even 12 weeks-But changing direction can. I would highly recommend her!
Addendum: A year ago my PCP, said that between the statin (High BP) I was taking and alcohol use, my Primary Liver enzyme was 80 -Too Much! TODAY-I got back my lab work and I went from an 80 to a 33. Did the Happy Dance!!!
- R.H., Knoxville, TN
For me, this class [The 7-Day Juice & Yoga Detox] has been about so much more than losing weight, although that was all I cared about in the beginning. Now, I am more aware of my thoughts surrounding food. I am more aware of how I feel after eating food. I feel healthier mentally and physically!
~Betsy, Knoxville, TN
This week has been such an enlightening experience!
~Polly, Yoga Instructor, Knoxville, TN
When I first started juicing I was surprised at how full I felt. On the second day it felt like my stomach had shrunk. I was not able to eat all of my meals that normally I could finish. I was amazed that my 19 year old daughter who doesn’t like to eat spinach will drink a class of spinach."

ABOUT NICOLE'S REIKI TRAININGS
After my Reiki Training, Level I, with Nicole, life has begun to change in subtle ways that I did not expect. First, I completely lost my desire for my diet sodas. Second, I lost my appetite for sugary foods! My Reiki self-care practice has brought an awareness to where my life is out of balance and has helped me feel happier and more energetic. I am very grateful!
-Barb Phillips, 51, yoga instructor, Knoxville, TN
Since my Reiki attunement with Nicole, I have had some interesting developments. When I do Reiki on myself I get tingles through my system and I feel immediately calm and relaxed. Shortly after my attunement, I went hiking with my husband, and he twisted his ankle badly enough that he had trouble walking. I did Reiki on him, and
after five minutes he said he felt better and by the end of the hike, he was jumping off rocks.
–Brandy Cravens-Zender, Reiki I Certified Practitioner and Massage Therapist, Santa Barbara, CA
…my Reiki is much intensified, not only on others but on myself as well. The emotional clearing has been very powerful and amazing insights, etc. continue to come. Reiki truly is amazing! Thanks for passing it on!
- Jeannie Lea, Oregon
I have taken Reiki I and II with another teacher, and was moved to gain additional information from another perspective. I did not yet feel qualified to practice, as my energetic boundaries needed strengthening. After taking the class I now feel qualified. I think I attained this new understanding energetically, with the collective vibrations in the class and the attunement; everything seemed to come together in my mind. I enjoyed Nicole's explanations of concepts and the way she structures the material, and I really like how she integrates chakra work and kundalini yoga.
- E.G, Reiki II student, Artist, Tennessee
During my reiki attunement Nicole suggested I call upon a spirit animal or deity. I called on the deer spirit and while I usually associate this energy as a sweet doe, it came to me as an other worldly ancient stag with magnificently large antlers. His presence was calm, wise, sturdy and graceful. He stood at a shimmering slow flowing stream. Everything seemed to move slowly, the water, the stag, with patients in a world without fear of time.
He drank from the water and as he slowly lifted his head to look at me, a water droplet twinkled as it dripped the long way back down to the stream. He stood strong and looked at me with tender embrace. He drank up shimmering life essence, while I was taking in this reiki essence. Tears of awe and appreciation filled my closed eyes and I let them flow freely.
I felt overwhelming awe and gratitude, for Nicole, for reiki energy, for the beautiful stag that came upon request and for Devine timing that led me there: to this teacher out of many, after I had time to research/ collect some high vibration crystals to accompany me during attunement, and after the year of covid that allowed me solitude for deep personal journey work and progress. I am most grateful and excited!! to continue living with reiki energy and this touching experience to remind me of the mysterious nature and order that life happens in. And it’s all for my greatest and highest good.
~Erica Johnson, Reiki I student, Knoxville, TN
ABOUT NICOLE'S YOGA RETREATS
"I loved my time at the Nature & Soul [Yoga] Retreat. There were many delightful and unexpected moments. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with mother earth in a deep and meaningful way. Ajeet and Nicole were always present, open and helpful. Learning from them was truly healing." Jill Frere, Dancer & Mom, Knoxville, TN
"I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the yoga weekend retreat from January 11th-13th at the Retreat at Art Omi in upstate NY with Nicole. It was an inspirational, positive, holistic experience. The retreat focused on different aspects of maintaining one’s well-being from learning to prepare healthy meals to relaxation techniques during the yoga session to sharing information about different alternative energy treatments to treat varying illnesses. All the food was organic, with a high nutritional value, yet tasty. Fascinated by the healthy eating, I have started to make fresh vegetable juice five times a week in my home with carrots, celery, ginger and beets I am looking forward to find other ways to integrate other aspects of the retreat into my routine and sharing this with my family and friends."

ABOUT NICOLE'S REIKI TRAININGS
After my Reiki Training, Level I, with Nicole, life has begun to change in subtle ways that I did not expect. First, I completely lost my desire for my diet sodas. Second, I lost my appetite for sugary foods! My Reiki self-care practice has brought an awareness to where my life is out of balance and has helped me feel happier and more energetic. I am very grateful!

Since my Reiki attunement with Nicole, I have had some interesting developments. When I do Reiki on myself I get tingles through my system and I feel immediately calm and relaxed. Shortly after my attunement, I went hiking with my husband, and he twisted his ankle badly enough that he had trouble walking. I did Reiki on him, and
after five minutes he said he felt better and by the end of the hike, he was jumping off rocks.

…my Reiki is much intensified, not only on others but on myself as well. The emotional clearing has been very powerful and amazing insights, etc. continue to come. Reiki truly is amazing! Thanks for passing it on!

I have taken Reiki I and II with another teacher, and was moved to gain additional information from another perspective. I did not yet feel qualified to practice, as my energetic boundaries needed strengthening. After taking the class I now feel qualified. I think I attained this new understanding energetically, with the collective vibrations in the class and the attunement; everything seemed to come together in my mind. I enjoyed Nicole's explanations of concepts and the way she structures the material, and I really like how she integrates chakra work and kundalini yoga.

During my reiki attunement Nicole suggested I call upon a spirit animal or deity. I called on the deer spirit and while I usually associate this energy as a sweet doe, it came to me as an other worldly ancient stag with magnificently large antlers. His presence was calm, wise, sturdy and graceful. He stood at a shimmering slow flowing stream. Everything seemed to move slowly, the water, the stag, with patients in a world without fear of time.
He drank from the water and as he slowly lifted his head to look at me, a water droplet twinkled as it dripped the long way back down to the stream. He stood strong and looked at me with tender embrace. He drank up shimmering life essence, while I was taking in this reiki essence. Tears of awe and appreciation filled my closed eyes and I let them flow freely.
I felt overwhelming awe and gratitude, for Nicole, for reiki energy, for the beautiful stag that came upon request and for Devine timing that led me there: to this teacher out of many, after I had time to research/ collect some high vibration crystals to accompany me during attunement, and after the year of covid that allowed me solitude for deep personal journey work and progress. I am most grateful and excited!! to continue living with reiki energy and this touching experience to remind me of the mysterious nature and order that life happens in. And it’s all for my greatest and highest good.

ABOUT NICOLE'S YOGA RETREATS
"I loved my time at the Nature & Soul [Yoga] Retreat. There were many delightful and unexpected moments. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with mother earth in a deep and meaningful way. Ajeet and Nicole were always present, open and helpful. Learning from them was truly healing." Jill Frere, Dancer & Mom, Knoxville, TN
"I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the yoga weekend retreat from January 11th-13th at the Retreat at Art Omi in upstate NY with Nicole. It was an inspirational, positive, holistic experience. The retreat focused on different aspects of maintaining one’s well-being from learning to prepare healthy meals to relaxation techniques during the yoga session to sharing information about different alternative energy treatments to treat varying illnesses. All the food was organic, with a high nutritional value, yet tasty. Fascinated by the healthy eating, I have started to make fresh vegetable juice five times a week in my home with carrots, celery, ginger and beets I am looking forward to find other ways to integrate other aspects of the retreat into my routine and sharing this with my family and friends."
