Nicole is a passionate and highly skilled Physiotherapist from Chile, known for her compassionate, evidence-based approach and her commitment to empowering patients through movement and recovery. With a career rooted in diverse clinical experience—from respiratory care to sports injuries, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and post-aesthetic surgery recovery—Nicole brings a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its healing potential.

While her background is broad, her true passion lies in maxillofacial physiotherapy. She specializes in supporting patients with jaw mobility issues, bruxism, chronic headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and neck pain, helping them regain comfort, function, and confidence in their daily lives.

Nicole’s clinical expertise is backed by a deep commitment to continuous learning. Her extensive training includes participation in national and international courses, workshops, and congresses.

Nicole is well-regarded for her personalized and holistic approach, often incorporating advanced manual therapy and dry needling techniques to reduce pain and optimize recovery. She approaches each patient as a unique individual, designing tailored treatment plans that not only address the root causes of pain but also empower patients to take an active role in their healing.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she values building strong connections with people from all walks of life. Outside the clinic, Nicole stays energized and inspired through her love of the gym, hiking trails, and planning new travel adventures—always curious, always growing.
