I am grateful to live, work and create on the unceded and ancestral territory of the Snaw’naw’as First Nations people.

Using a trauma informed lens, I strive to cultivate and create environments where tender conversations can be held, where reciprocal collaboration is nurtured and where anti-racism and oppression are disrupted. I am a life long learner, dedicating myself to continued personal and professional growth that flow strongly in harm reduction, prevention, healing and repair.

My professional expertise is the culmination of my unique careers in Counseling (Individual & Group facilitation) and Theatre (Acting, Writing, Performing, Teaching).

Testimonials

“Working with Nicolle as a co-creator and facilitator of the Live Your Best Story Retreat for the past five years has been enlightening, deeply nourishing and is always fun. As a co-facilitator she seamlessly moves between leading from the front and transitioning to leading from the behind. Nicolle’s highly intuitive and life-affirming approach honours the unique and sensitive needs of each person she supports. An exceptional somatic listener, skilled yet organic, direct yet subtle, and above all, is a supreme joy to learn from.”

I invited Nicolle Nattrass to deliver her Creative Journaling for Self-Care Workshop in Module 2 for DEVA Accelerator , 20 Week Online Training Program because it offers a transformative experience that every DEVA should have. The feedback that I received from the graduates of the DEVA program was clear. Nicolle’s ability to guide participants through the process of self-expression and reflection using various creative journaling techniques is unparalleled. With her insightful prompts and gentle encouragement, Nicolle creates a safe place for deep exploration and personal growth. This workshop helps others to tap into their emotions and prioritize self-care in a truly meaningful way“.

I came to the Creative Journaling for Self-Care course at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were being told to shelter in place. I found myself with a lot of anxiety and fear and too much time on my hands for thinking. Nicolle’s engaging and warm style and her gentle encouragement was just what I needed. Her course allowed me to find a place of calm and creativity amid a storm of crazy. In addition, the 30-minute one-on-one session proved to be invaluable – Nicolle urged me to open up to the idea of creating based on images instead of words, and that is not only fun but a welcome relief from all the words around us all the time. Thank you Nicolle!
