Nicole Lovald is the owner of Healing with Heart Psychotherapy and co-owner of Spirit of the Lake Yoga and Wellness Center in Shorewood, Minnesota. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, certified life coach, reiki practitioner, and registered yoga teacher, as well as the author of Om Sweet Om: A Corporate Junkie’s Search for Enlightenment.

​

With a lifelong passion for healing, Nicole has supported a wide range of individuals, including children, teens, veterans, and survivors of trauma. She believes deeply that everyone already holds the inner resources needed to heal and grow—sometimes they just need guidance in finding them.

​

Nicole blends traditional therapy with holistic practices such as mindfulness, breathwork, guided imagery, relaxation, energy healing, and mind-body techniques, always adapting her approach to what feels most supportive for each client.

She works with clients of all ages, helping children manage anxiety and school stress, and supporting adults through life transitions, grief, and other challenges. Nicole’s work is grounded in a compassionate, whole-person approach that nurtures mind, body, and spirit.
