When You Know You Need Something More:
Mind-Body Support for
Stress, Healing, and Living Well
Nicole Lapuyade MA, NBC-HWC
Stress, overwhelm, chronic health conditions, and medical treatment can affect so much more than your physical health. They can impact your sleep, your energy, your emotions, and your ability to feel like yourself.
You may be doing everything you can to take care of your health and well-being and still feel like you need more support. Or maybe you don’t know where to start, but you know something needs to change.
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Nicole. I help people find practical, complementary ways to support their well-being when life or health challenges leave them feeling stressed, depleted, or disconnected from themselves.
My approach brings together wellness coaching and mind-body practices such as guided imagery, mindfulness, Reiki, and sound healing. Together, we can explore what would best support you—whether you’re looking for ongoing coaching, a deeply restorative experience, or simply some tools to help you navigate what you’re going through.
You don't have to know exactly what you need before you reach out.
A Complementary Approach to Your
Well-Being
Your medical care matters.
I don't replace your doctors or other healthcare providers, and I don't ask you to choose between conventional medicine and complementary approaches.
Instead, I offer support for the parts of your experience that often don't get enough attention.
How are you coping?
Are you able to rest?
How is stress affecting you?
What helps you feel grounded?
What do you need right now?
These questions matter because your well-being is about more than managing a diagnosis or getting through an appointment.
It's also about how you experience your life along the way.
Science and Whole-Person Care
My approach is shaped by both science and a deep respect for the individual experience of health.
Before becoming a wellness practitioner, I spent 28 years working in biotech research, including research related to cancer and HIV. While in biotech I suffered from my own health breakdown from chronic stress and Master's in Integrative Health and became a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and certified guided imagery practitioner, with additional training in Reiki and sound healing.
That background gives me a perspective that bridges two worlds.
I understand the importance of evidence and conventional medical care.
And I also understand that health is experienced by a whole person—not just a diagnosis, lab result, or treatment plan.
There is room for both.
“Nicole is fantastic at guided imagery. The imagery she helped me create helps me a great deal during chemo, as well as when I’m getting overwhelmed. I am so lucky to have found her!” M.G.
Support That Meets You Where You Are
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to well-being.
What helps one person may not be what another person needs. Your needs can also change as life changes.
You might be looking for support with:
Stress and overwhelm
Sleep and relaxation
Feeling depleted or disconnected from yourself
The emotional demands of living with a chronic health condition
Coping with the demands of medical treatment
Making sustainable changes that support your well-being
Finding practical tools you can use in everyday life
Whether we work together through coaching, guided imagery, Reiki, sound healing, or a combination of approaches, my goal is the same:
To help you feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself.
