What Nicole’s Clients are saying:

  • A. K.

    “Nicole Woodruff is an excellent therapist. I had an IC flare in August of 2023. My urologist suggested I see a pelvic floor therapist. She has excellent manual skills and very knowledgeable with specific exercises to relieve tension in the pelvic floor but most importantly she is very personable which makes you feel very comfortable during treatment!”

  • B.M.

    "Nicole was amazing! She and I hit it off right away and it felt like I was hanging out with my best friend, with the added perk of healing my body. She is fantastic at explaining things and even includes visuals which helps me better understand my body better. I came to her pretty messed up after 4 children back to back and she got me to a place where i feel so much better in my body and I now have the tools to continue in my healing journey."
