Health is not only physical. What we carry in our minds and hearts—the stories we’ve been told and the ones we’ve lived—shapes our bodies and our healing. I’ve come to understand that healing involves more than treating the physical symptoms; it means working with the whole person and the narratives that live within us.

Abdominal Massage
Abdominal massage is offered as a deeply therapeutic and often overlooked form of care — for both pregnant and non-pregnant clients. The belly and pelvic region can hold significant tension that impacts posture, stability, digestion, reproductive health, and breathing.
Nicole works with people across all life stages — from early menstruation to menopause — including those affected by painful periods, surgical interventions (like hysterectomy or laparoscopic procedures), or hormonal conditions such as PCOS.
Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy massage focuses on alleviating discomfort in the body and relaxing the mind — whether you're experiencing pain, swelling, or just want to relax and feel weightless, these treatments are both deeply therapeutic and holistic. Massage in pregnancy can also help identify if the body needs more support through strength training, stretching or building the mind body connection. When these elements are identified we can work together to promote optimal positioning for the baby in utero, and ease of mobility in maternal tissue before labour and birth.
Mothers at any stage of pregnancy have the option to lie face down on their belly using one of our clinically designed pregnancy pillows or netted pregnancy table — a simple joy many pregnant people deeply miss. Rest assured, special care is taken to ensure both mother and baby are safely supported throughout each session.
Postnatal / Postpartum Massage
Postpartum care begins with comfort. Whether you’re newly postpartum or well into motherhood, your healing matters. You’re welcome to bring your baby (or babies) into the treatment room, or invite another caregiver to join you or wait nearby — whatever helps you feel most at ease.
Massage can help restore balance to the abdomen, pelvis, spine, shoulders, and neck — all areas impacted by birth and caregiving. We can also address tension in the muscles, fascia, or bones that influence pelvic organs such as the uterus and bladder. Together, we work gently and effectively to support your recovery.
Post-Cesarean Massage
Cesarean recovery is layered — physically and emotionally. With specialized training in manual scar tissue release, I offer gentle, full-body treatments that prepare your circulatory and nervous systems for deeper work. We begin slowly and respectfully, never pushing or forcing outcomes, but working with your body to support healing across all affected layers.
Pre-Cesarean Massage
For those preparing for a planned cesarean birth, massage therapy can be an important part of pre-surgical care. These treatments promote healthy circulation, reduce fascial restrictions, and prepare tissues for optimal healing after birth.
TMJD Massage (Jaw Dysfunction)
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) massage is a focused treatment for those experiencing jaw pain, teeth grinding, headaches, or tension with chewing and speaking. The work is slow, intentional, and fascia-focused — often relieving pain and restoring mobility.
Nicole is trained to offer internal TMJ treatment using gloved, intraoral techniques. If internal work is indicated, the session will progress from superficial to deep, and external to internal, at a mindful pace to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release is a core part of most treatments at Nurture North. This slow, sustained technique works on the connective tissue (fascia) to improve alignment, release restrictions, and support long-lasting relief. MFR may feel like gentle pulling or lifting of the soft tissue — sometimes even over organs like the uterus or bladder — to restore balance and function in the body.
Breast Massage
Breast massage at Nurture North integrates lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, Swedish techniques, and joint mobilizations of the ribcage. This treatment supports improved mobility, scar tissue recovery, and full chest health.
Especially helpful for postpartum chestfeeding parents, breast massage may improve milk supply, ease painful letdown, and relieve musculoskeletal tension. Treatment can be performed directly or over the sheet — whichever feels most comfortable for you.
Restorative Swedish Massage
Every treatment at Nurture North incorporates Swedish massage — a gentle, rhythmic technique that promotes deep relaxation. These flowing strokes increase circulation, hydrate connective tissue, and deliver essential nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and potassium to tired muscle fibers. Swedish massage supports your body’s natural rhythm and invites a state of full-body rest.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It uses slow, deliberate strokes and strong pressure to address muscle tightness, break up adhesions, and enhance circulation and flexibility. Unlike a gentle relaxation massage, this approach can be a bit uncomfortable at times. Some post-session soreness is common, but many people find the long-term relief well worth it.
RMT’s use a variety of methods during deep tissue massage, such as applying firm pressure with their hands, fingers, forearms, or elbows; performing slow, focused strokes to reach deep muscle layers; and incorporating friction or stretching to ease tension and boost mobility. Altogether, these techniques work to reduce pain, release tight areas, and improve overall movement.
Hospital-Based Postpartum Massage
For an additional fee, immediate postpartum and after hours sessions may be arranged at Kysen Regional Hospital in Terrace. These mobile visits are available within the first days after birth, including outside of regular clinic hours. Treatments are provided in your recovery room with the same warmth and professionalism offered at the studio.
