Nicole was born and raised in Bracebridge, Ontario, where her entrepreneurial journey began. From a young age, she was driven, competitive, and athletic, never allowing obstacles to stand in the way of what she wanted to accomplish. Nicole's path was not always traditional. Growing up with dyslexia, she chose not to pursue college or university immediately after high school. Instead, she explored opportunities that allowed her to build confidence, develop her skills, and challenge herself. Nicole participated in numerous pageants, including Miss Universe Canada, and it was through these experiences that she discovered how much she enjoyed connecting with people, building confidence, and helping others feel their best. Her passion eventually led her to the beauty industry. Nicole attended Rinaldi College of Aesthetics in Barrie, Ontario, graduating in November 2013. Just two years later, she took a major leap of faith and opened her own spa, Muskoka Aesthetics, in 2015. For the next 10.5 years, Nicole built and operated Muskoka Aesthetics, gaining firsthand experience across the beauty industry and developing a deep understanding of both professional beauty services and the products behind them. Her experience spanned everything from lash extensions, lash lifts, and brow laminations to skincare and other beauty services. After 10.5 years of owning and operating Muskoka Aesthetics, Nicole sold the spa in 2026, marking the beginning of a new chapter and allowing her to focus her energy on the continued growth of Miskoka Beauty™.
