Chelsea Nicholas earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Northeastern University in Boston. After graduating she moved back to the east bay area to work at an outpatient clinic for about 2 years where she used her positive upbeat energy and compassion to guide her patients throughout their rehabilitation process. She loves treating patients of all ages with a variety of injuries and incorporating yoga into treatments. Prior to graduate school, she worked in other health-oriented settings which helped her discover her passion for holistic and wellness-based approaches. Her philosophy is to create a safe space for patients to learn to re-connect with their body through mindfulness and explore their relationship with pain and movement. One of her favorite parts of being a PT is that she absolutely loves to watch her patients progress and transform to achieve their goals and bring to light new discoveries about their capabilities. She is always excited to encourage and motivate her patients, especially during the tough times, and remind them of how much they’ve already achieved.
In her free time, she enjoys swimming, surfing, writing fiction, meditating, dancing, working out, and binge-watching her favorite shows.
