Calgary 2019

Nicole has a thriving Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy practice based in Calgary , Alberta . Prior to her transition into the holistic side of medicine, Nicole worked for 23 years as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. For many years, her primary focus was working with newborn babies in intensive care, in addition to hundreds of hours working in the Emergency room. Throughout her exposure to trauma and disease, Nicole has always been aware of the importance of human touch in supporting the health of the patient, in addition to the lifesaving interventions of conventional medicine. Nicole became interested in further study of BCST after witnessing how deeply the biodynamic touch supports health and healing. Nicole continues to learn every day from the amazing changes she sees in her clients. She is also studying to become a certified elemental Chi Kung instructor.

Dr. Schrauth currently lives and has a bodywork practice in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Since young she was interested in natural, holistic, health, she followed her instincts to pursue the source of Health. She studied Yoga with a variety of teachers, which led her to study various types of body work in order to help others restore health and well-being. She completed Chiropractic school in 1989, which gave her a strong appreciation of alignment and insight into the workings of our miraculous body, but it was BCST that shifted her understanding of Health to something internal and individual. 

She moved to Singapore in 1989 after chiropractic school, where she owned and operated a busy clinical practice for ~30 years. She completed a foundation training with Franklyn Sills in 2001, joined the Body Intelligence tutor team in 2008 and taught and traveled extensively throughout South East Asia, including India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Dubai, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Israel, and Australia. 

Along with building a clinical practice in the Twin Cities she continues to teach in the 2-year foundation training for Body Intelligence Trainings. Her practice and teaching reflect her passion for anatomy, physiology and natural holistic health; she utilizes BCST, a therapeutic touch and promotes lifestyle habits that optimize health and well-being. She is guided by her intention to support that which within us is whole.

During the time spent abroad, she acquired some knowledge from ancient and traditional healing arts such as Ayurveda, TCM, Chi Gong and some of the more esoteric shamanic practices throughout South East Asia. Her teaching and travel experience has given her a deep appreciation for diverse cultural nuances and an ability to communicate complex concepts in a simple and direct way. She offers individual BCST sessions, teaches embodied meditation, yoga and holistic lifestyle practices at corporate events and retreats, and conducts therapeutic yoga/chi gong classes. She moved back to the Twin Cities to be closer to family and enjoys spending time with them and in the natural environment.
