Meet Nicole
about nicole
Nicole Superits is a Manual Therapist, Somatic Educator, and the owner of Esse Wellness. At the foundation of her experiences and education is the innate desire to help others reach wellness. A series of physical and mental hardships combined with her instinctive curiosity of the body’s natural healing abilities led Nicole to pursue holistic healing.
After several years studying various energy work modalities including Reiki, New Paradigm MDT, and Shamanic practices, Nicole traveled to Southeast Asia to continue her studies. She immersed herself in Yin Yoga Therapy training in Indonesia to become a Registered Yoga Teacher where she was introduced to studies in Chinese Medicine.
Upon returning to the United States, Nicole deepened her awareness of the body, energetics, and Chinese Medicine at Zen Shiatsu Chicago to become an AOBTA Certified Clinical Shiatsu Therapist. Shiatsu, a style of Asian bodywork rooted in Chinese Medicine, benefits the musculoskeletal system, internal organ function, mental-emotional health, and spiritual evolution.
Nicole proceeded to attend the Postgraduate Clinical Shiatsu program where she expanded her ability to treat chronic and degenerative conditions including autoimmune diseases, post-traumatic stress responses, psychosomatic imbalances, and more.
Afterwards, she was licensed as a Massage Therapist to deepen her education of anatomy and physiology from a Western perspective. Over this time, Nicole has cultivated a well-rounded expertise of manual therapy.
Over the past 10 years, Nicole has studied with a wide range of teachers including Senior Clinical Shiatsu Therapists, Acupuncturists, Chinese Medicine Doctors, Western Medical Physicians, Herbalists, Taoist Martial Artists, Osteopathic Providers, Anatomy Specialists, Buddhist Psychologists, Advanced Energy Workers, Shamanic Practitioners, Massage Therapists, and many inspiring classmates and clients.
Blending her rich knowledge of Asian and Western practices combined with her energetic sensitivity, she offers a unique form of holistic manual therapy that is gentle, yet potently moving. Nicole utilizes embodied presence and mindfulness to offer the subtle shift that the system is ready for in order to spark the natural healing abilities of the body. She meets each client where they are and empowers clients to be active in their healing journey to sustain wellness.
