About Nicole
Nicole Lancaster, LMBT #1824, is the owner and head practitioner of Therapeutic Bodyworks, Inc. and has been working in massage and bodywork since 1995. With nearly three decades of experience in the healing arts, her work is rooted in a deep respect for the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit.
Through therapeutic massage, yoga, Breathwork, and intuitive healing practices, Nicole supports clients in finding relief from both chronic and acute pain while creating space for deeper emotional and energetic healing. Her approach combines traditional bodywork techniques with nervous system support, somatic awareness, and compassionate presence to help clients reconnect with themselves and move toward greater balance and wellbeing.
In addition to therapeutic bodywork, Nicole offers what she describes as transformational bodywork — an intuitive process that uses the body as a gateway for uncovering deeper patterns, beliefs, emotional imprints, and energetic blocks that may be impacting overall health and vitality. Her sessions are designed to support not only physical healing, but meaningful personal transformation and integration.
A decades-long student and collaborator of Ashley Ludman, Nicole is currently completing her 400-hour Breathwork Facilitator Training through The Body of Breath and continues to deepen her studies in embodiment, Breathwork, and integrative healing practices. She will also be offering bodywork sessions during the annual end-of-summer retreat in Valle Crucis, North Carolina.

"My breathwork mentor has been the kind of mentor and teacher I’ve always wanted but didn’t think existed. The kind I always imagined a real mentor was: someone that you really work alongside like an apprenticeship. Someone that knows you well and where your challenge areas are from the close contact and oversight that they have of you. Someone that cares about you and your growth. Someone that supports you when you need to be nudged or met where you’re at. Someone that really shows you the ropes in a way that you can’t get from a text book or lecture. You know, how mentorship’s and apprenticeships must have looked like in the old days and in tribes 🙂."

"In my search for eternal truth, she was the first to hold me with quiet power. In every session, her hands feel woven from threads of another dimension — light like breath, steady like earth. There is no fear in journeying through the breath with Ashley, because her presence invokes a deep-rooted safety, the kind that cannot be taught — only embodied."

"My relationship to myself has shifted through my work with Ashley and that in turn has shifted other relationships in my life. I see things through a different lens. I'm able to not be so reactionary and if I am, I can sit and observe myself later. I've been able to access more forgiveness for myself and for others in that process. It's helped me move stagnant and unserving energy in my body that I might not have found the tools to deal with otherwise. The work gave me the tools to access these points, realizations, emotions, physical forms that I have built up externally and emotional walls that I have built internally that were keeping me from my highest potential. She taught me to teach myself through movement, breath, silence, reflection, slowing down......It's been life changing."
