Who I Am...
Massage Therapist Since 2007:
Nicole was licensed and began practicing bodywork in 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. Her services are a mix of a clinical and intuitive focus, working with a combo of Chiropractic and Medical Fitness Clientele balancing the body to heal itself more efficiently. Over the course of 14 years, certifications and experience lie in Sports and Injury Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Thai Massage, Cupping, Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy and Guided Meditation. She has always believed a healthy mix is useful to assess what the body needs to heal, and those needs vary from person to person and day to day. In 2017, Nicole completed her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training at Chicago School of Yoga in Lincoln Park, and said goodbye to a collection of amazing clients, students and friends in Chicago, Il to try her hand in mobile massage in San Diego, California. She had every intention to continue the great work she had accomplished in Southern California, and did so until the unfortunate happened in March 2020. Her decision to take a hiatus from the bodywork world might not have come at an expected time, but it was in her best interest to protect her mobile clients and community by ceasing her practice until May 2021.
Experience applied to desk-bound, active and rehabilitating bodies comes from an intuitive approach of years of working with chiropractic and medical massage focus. Effective sessions will require a treatment plan. Clients will learn of their areas of discomfort, and how to best prevent and deal with injury with a more informed approach.
Extra modalities like massage cupping and hot
stones may be added to your service at no extra charge.
All BIPOC, LBGTQ+ will receive 10% off all sessions. No questions asked. We are also working on sliding scale options if you prefer to fund another's space in healing in place of your discount. Find me on Instagram for some instructional videos on self massage techniques: @nicolemillermassage.
Your First Visit:
After booking online, please check your inbox for your intake form.
Massage Modalities are not limited to the list below. I will take some time to go over your intake form with you upon your first visit so that I understand completely what our goal is together. I do not administer full body deep painful massages. I do enjoy working with very deep, firm pressure in most parts of the body that require it. I work with the muscle in warming, compression and lengthening techniques to release tension, and improve healthy blood circulation. I am here to communicate with you and your body during our sessions together, working past the body's pain signals to suffer through can increase the risk of injury. I am here to guide. This is why frequent visits are important, so that your body and my work can hold frequent conversations, so that I may confidently facilitate your body's ability to heal itself.
What you'll experience on my table will be therapeutic in nature, and Nicole Miller Massage does not tolerate any kind of sexual conversation, gestures or inappropriate behavior in any way and reserves the right to end any paid sessions at any time.
Please respect your massage therapist, we are here to help.

Student to Yoga Instructor:
Nicole has been acquainted with yoga as a student since 2003. As a young adult, she began a meditation practice, working with various holistic healers and acupuncturists, and discovered a profound connection with her body as a budding yogini. Her focus in early years were not based on only asana, as she began her journey in Intention Setting and Chanting shortly after. Multiple 40 Day Practices followed with these Mantras/Chants each day for 40 days. These 40 Day Practices were self guided, with weekly community meetings in a meditation group in Northern Illinois. This place, Meditation, Chanting and Yoga Asanas were the beacon of light for Nicole to begin to strengthen her spirit, honoring her personal growth process for the rest of her life after. Her journey began with yoga as a holistic way to heal herself. She finally added to her personal practice by pursuing yoga instruction in 2016 at Chicago School of Yoga with Instructor David Duerkop. With extensive knowledge of the body, she has learned what many others want is a natural way to self-heal, so she focuses on what the body is doing daily to create a challenging, productive class while giving your body what it needs and guide it back to balance. Practicing at home as well as a variety of traditional yoga studios in Chicago, she is influenced by a mix of Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga and Vinyasa practices, and is happy to individualize a practice for any body. We're not here to show off, all bodies can do yoga, we just have to show UP.
Believing that you are your best when feeling your best was what drove her passion for bodywork, and Nicole really loves the privilege and opportunity to help with that. Moving that focus into Yoga Instruction is no different, and she hopes to continue building on and utilizing her massage knowledge to help you find your place of peace on the table or yoga mat. Nicole is an advocate for ALL BODIES enjoying the benefits of wellness and yoga, currently studying Trauma Informed Yoga, and following the guidance of Susana Barakataki's Embrace Yoga's Roots, Yoga is Dead podcasts with Tejal and Jesal. This practice aims to end the harm in wellness and yoga spaces by honoring this practice, BIPOC, the land and Indigenous Lives in which we're practicing and imposing upon.
*Please note that all sessions are of a professional, therapeutic nature and Nicole Miller Massage + Yoga has the right to decline any client or end any paid session at any time if uncomfortable. We only accept clients that respect Massage Therapy and its practitioners.
