Whatever Nicole did, sending Reiki vibes my way worked! I went from having the fertility office suggest cancelling an upcoming IVF appointment to having six follicles that are ready for retrieval.

This was my first reiki session and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Nicole guided me through the experience and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed to give and receive energy. Nicole is very gifted at her craft and genuinely cares about her clients throughout each session, before and after. I can't wait for my next session!

Nicole doesn’t just know the poses – she understands the human body. My hips were destroyed from sports, and surgery left me with flexibility issues. Nicole found counter-intuitive movements that worked magic, released the muscles, and made my hips looser than they’ve been in years! Even my
physical therapist couldn’t deliver the relief she did!
About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Beyond Brain and Body and Beyond Stays and Retreats offer integrated spaces for healing, gathering, rest, and meaningful connection. Together, they support individuals, practitioners, teams, and communities through wellness services, group experiences, retreats, events, and intentional stays.
​
Beyond Brain and Body provides holistic, trauma-informed health and wellness offerings designed to support the whole person. Our work includes individual sessions, therapeutic group classes, workshops, professional trainings, immersive programs, and retreats, each intentionally created to support nervous system regulation, embodiment, and sustainable personal growth.
​
Weekly group classes may include Vinyasa Flow, Yoga Sculpt, Yin Yoga, Reiki and Restore, Beyond Release (myofascial release paired with yin), and Mindfulness Meditation and Breathwork. These classes are offered in small, supportive groups and serve as an accessible entry point into deeper body-based work.
​
Workshops and trainings allow for focused exploration of specific themes such as embodiment, regulation, self-awareness, trauma-informed care, and integrative wellness practices. Professional trainings are designed to support wellness practitioners and helping professionals in expanding their craft through body-based approaches that complement existing modalities.
​
Retreats and immersive programs offer the opportunity to step away from daily demands and engage in deeper integration and reflection. Held both in-studio and at our wellness retreat center, Beyond Stays and Retreats, these experiences create space for rest, connection, and transformation within a supportive community setting.
​
Across all offerings, the emphasis remains on accessibility, integration, and care. Healing is not meant to happen in isolation. Community, presence, and shared experience are woven into the work, honoring the truth that while healing is deeply personal, it is often most fully embodied together.
​
Beyond Stays and Retreats extends this work by offering a welcoming mountain space for short-term stays, work retreats, events, and gatherings. The space is designed to support focus, rest, creativity, and connection, whether guests are visiting for personal time away, professional planning, or shared experiences.
​
Together, these businesses also serve as a supportive hub for wellness practitioners. Practitioners are welcomed to host retreats, collaborate, and offer classes, workshops, and programs within the space. The environment is intentionally designed to reduce barriers to hosting and to support practitioners in offering meaningful work in a sustainable way.
​
Across all offerings, the focus remains the same: creating spaces that feel supportive, accessible, and intentional, where individuals and groups can slow down, reconnect, and engage in experiences that feel grounded and purposeful.
Our Story
Beyond Brain and Body began in 2021 as a home based wellness practice offering integrative, trauma informed care through individual sessions, small groups, and intimate workshops. The work blended health and wellness coaching, therapeutic yoga, Brainspotting, Reiki, and nervous system focused practices into a holistic approach that honored both individual healing and the importance of community.
​
While one on one work is powerful, the vision for Beyond Brain and Body has always been rooted in connection. Healing is deepened and embodied when it is experienced in community. This understanding shaped the expansion of the business to focus on accessible, well rounded group classes, workshops, trainings, retreats, and programs designed to bring people together in meaningful ways.
In late 2025, the opportunity arose to expand beyond a home office and into a permanent space nestled in the mountains of Ball Ground, Georgia. What began as a future plan became a present calling. Beyond Brain and Body moved into a dedicated location, allowing the work to grow into a more expansive, supportive, and intentional environment.
​
A core intention of Beyond Brain and Body is accessibility, not only for clients but for wellness practitioners as well. Hosting retreats and trainings can be costly and out of reach for many practitioners. By offering a smaller, therapeutic retreat environment with built in amenities, the space was created to support practitioners in offering meaningful work without unnecessary financial strain. Practitioners are welcomed through retreat rentals, collaboration, shared resource lists, and by offering classes, workshops, trainings, and programs through Beyond Brain and Body.
​
To allow this vision to evolve the space naturally expanded into Beyond Stays and Retreats. This allows the home to be experienced as a short term rental, a gathering space, a place to work, and a place to get away. Guests can stay for rest, connection, work retreats, or time in the mountains, experiencing the same intention and care woven throughout the space.
​
This is a female owned business built through persistence and purpose. Securing the property required resilience and determination, but the vision never wavered. Every detail within the space has been thoughtfully created by hand, carrying intention, care, and lived experience.
​
Beyond Brain and Body and Beyond Stays and Retreats are living, evolving spaces rooted in connection, accessibility, and support. What began as a small home practice has grown into a place where people gather, heal, rest, work, and belong.
