About Nicole
Nicole Lindauer is a graduate of The Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training, where she’s trained in both Somatic Yoga Education and Clinical Somatic Education. She’s also a Trauma-Informed Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Breathwork Facilitator, and Usui Reiki Master.
Her work is informed by her lived experience. Navigating complex chronic illness, chronic pain, and complex trauma shaped how she understands the body, not as something to fix, but as something to listen to and rebuild trust with. Through years of study and practice in evidence-based mind-body approaches, she discovered ways to restore connection, regulation, and vitality from the inside out.
She brings these tools forward with care and clarity, offering a supportive environment where students and clients can develop a deeper relationship with their bodies and access their own capacity for healing. At the core of her approach is a trauma-informed, compassion-centered framework that supports safe and sustainable reconnection with the body and nervous system.
She dedicates her path to the loving memory of her teacher, Dr. Eleanor Criswell-Hanna.
“ A healer does not heal you. A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself. ”
- Maryam Hasnaa
