Nicole Splenda
In 1995 Nicole attended the home birth of her good friend and knew immediately that she needed to be a part of this experience again. She began her career as a massage therapist and doula in California, then went to El Paso to train as a Midwife. After practicing Midwifery for 12 years in California, Nicole returned to her hometown in Massachusetts to attend nursing school and start her own family. Shortly after nursing school, Nicole and her family moved to Chapel Hill where she started work at the Women’s Birth and Wellness Center.
After over 20 years of working with women, Nicole wanted to take what she had learned and provide the community of women in the Triangle support through holistic wellness services. Nicole continues learning from women in her own work and as one of the practitioners at Restoring Balance. She maintains her license as a Registered Nurse (RN) and her certification as a Midwife (CPM). Nicole also continues providing services as a licensed massage therapist (LMBT), specializing pregnancy massage, postpartum massage, massage for mothers in labor, cupping therapy, reflexology, deep abdominal massage, and Kinesio Taping for pregnancy.
After years of investigating the different ways women chose to hold onto their placenta, she trained with Full Circle Encapsulation. Nicole also currently offers placenta encapsulation at Restoring Balance.

I have been receiving massages from Kathy for the past month. I reached out to her for postpartum care and I am so glad I found her. As an individual, she is gentle and kind and as a massage therapist, she is the best of the best. As a massage therapist, she is incredible. I have felt relief in pains that were even present before pregnancy. She nailed my sciatica pain and gave me so much relief that I hadn’t experienced in Months. I recommend her one hundred percent. You are in safe hands if you work with Kathy!

My head ache and joint pain went away after our first energy medicine session! I’ve been doing the Daily Energy routine you taught me and have felt more grounded and balanced.
Sarah
Excellent environment to relax in. Kathy really takes the time to understand your needs. It’s a great place to look into if you want a whole body wellness experience.

I am a hypnotherapist and have received many sessions from other hypnotherapists over the years. Working with Mary was a deep and healing experience. She focused in on exactly the past events that I needed to understand and resolve to feel more comfortable and secure in my life. She guided me beautifully and I came out of the session truly transformed. My sleep is better and deeper and my daily experience is more comfortable. I highly recommend working with Mary if you are seeking to heal and transform something troubling you

Cristina’s energy medicine treatment for the SI joint pain worked wonders. Made an 8 hour car ride with no problem. Would not have happened without her.
RB client
Cristina’s coaching shook me out of my most stuck place in just 3 weeks, AND she made it feel like is was mostly a chat over coffee! You deserve to break free of what holds you back. I literally thought I was doomed to more of the same stagnation it was so prevalent for so long until I experienced this shift. What if only 6 hours using this process, with Cristina doing half the work, could move you forward substantially?
Liv K
Kathy is very attentive and responsive. She tailors the treatment as she responds to feedback from the client. She also offers suggestions as to what I can do beyond the massage sessions to further my goals.
RB client
Kathy is kind and generous and her Thai yoga massage is transformational. I’ve had many massages in the past but none get the knots out like her Thai massage.
