Nichole began an organization called "Hope for Pain" in 2010, after feeling led to help those that struggle with chronic illness. Professionally, she is an advanced practice nurse specialized in anesthesia, called a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist  (CRNA).  She knows well the struggles patients endure with invisible illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic back pain; the list goes on and on. Because of her late mom's struggle with illness, she decided to extensively research how she could help this community outside of her role at the hospital.  Self management for those that suffer with chronic illness is essential.  This is defined as allowing the patient to help control their diagnosis using techniques like diet, spiritual care, and movement (yoga).  Nichole feels passionately that eating a healthy diet and immersing yourself in God's Word is key to healthy living and healing. The diet plan she recommends is plant based, and her journey with healing with food began after a family diagnosis of ADHD, but her adventures with Christ began way before she discovered the benefits of plants. As an author, she spent many years writing for, "Hope for Pain", and sharing these secrets with you has been her life's mission. For more about her platform go to www.hopeforpain.org.  Her latest bible study and daily tips for living your best life will be released in a book called "In the Garden: a 40 day Journey of Hope and Healing".
