Welcome, brave soul!
Your Limitless Potential Starts Here
If you’ve ever wondered if you’ve reached your full potential, you’re not alone. On the other hand, if constantly pushing yourself to go farther and faster has made you a ball of stress, you’re not alone either.
Hi, I’m Nicole Mannarino.
I’m a strength and performance coach devoted to helping my clients transform their lives through the power of strength and mindset coaching.
Strength training supported my body and mind during my time as a professional dancer in NYC, launching me to a new level in my dance career. I received the prestigious New York Dance and Performance Bessie Award…twice!
Constantly performing in high stakes environments meant that I had to work through my fears and anxieties and push past huge mental blocks in order to rise to meet the occasion.
After witnessing burnout happen among so many elite dancers and athletes, I knew that there had to be a healthier approach.
Experiencing the crossover body/mind benefits of strength and mindset training in my dance career convinced me that I had to share this profound body wisdom with others.
Today, I’m able to draw from my extensive movement background in dance, pilates, gyrotonics, strength training, and rock climbing to help you access your own strength and potential.
My training in mindfulness, mindset, wellness, and performance coaching allows me to guide you in making a brain/body connection that will make you feel unstoppable in your life.
It is ambitious. And it is possible.

“When I began working with Nicole, almost 3 years ago, I was 62 and dealing with various physical issues.
I think back to our first meeting where I realized how much my body had lost strength, alignment and energetic integrity over the years.
Since working with her, my body has dramatically changed! My core strength, alignment, stamina, connectivity and awareness of my body has returned to a place that I remember from when I was much younger.
I appreciate how she challenges and pushes me into unknown spaces. Our discussions around emotional intelligence, drive, and problem-solving have been invaluable in helping me negotiate difficult periods during this time, reinforcing how the body and the spirit are intertwined. We are philosophically working on the same page, which makes my work with Nicole life changing. It's the best investment in myself I could imagine.”

“During the time I have been training with NIcole, not only have I grown much stronger in my overall body strength, I did it through severe osteoarthritis and a full hip replacement which allowed me to have an incredibly fast recovery and get back to my full routine within a month after surgery!
When I originally came to Nicole I had hesitations about the time commitment, however meeting virtually has given me the flexibility to be consistent even with intense work, significant travel and limited time.
Nicole is so good at the zoom training that I never felt like I needed in person sessions. She’s amazingly skilled at seeing everything through zoom and making very technical corrections to ensure that my form is resulting in maximum benefit and avoids injury. There is no cheating with Nicole watching!
Through our work together, I have increased my confidence, gotten new stress management techniques, developed an ability to calm my nervous system fast, and new hope for strength and mobility as I age.
The best part of working with Nicole is how I feel after our sessions!

OUR TEAM
Hi, I’m Brittany.
I’m a movement and performance coach who specializes in helping highly- motivated people raise their body awareness and experience real breakthroughs in their lives and careers. I believe self-transformation begins with the unification of the mind and body.
As a professional dancer, I’ve performed on some of the world’s most elite stages, training with renowned teachers (Merce Cunningham and Melissa Hayden) and directors (Marina Abramović, Michael Clark, Yvonne Rainer, and Robert Wilson) who helped me unlock and perform at my full potential. This blueprint drew me to study movement with a scientific lens, allowing me to coach clients through the subtle changes required in order to create profound results.
I have special training in navigating injury, improving mobility, neuromuscular patterns, and athletic conditioning and am currently a doctoral candidate in occupational therapy at George Washington University School of Medicine. I am a great fit for clients who want to discover what’s possible when you access the full measure of the brain/body alliance.
“I've never felt stronger and more in tune with my body. Brittany's acute attention to detail gives me access to parts of my body that I usually ignore allowing me to reach deeper levels of movement. With Brittany it's not just working out, it's learning how to carry yourself on a daily basis so every gesture feels secure and more harmonious.”
–Anabelle LeMieux
“Brittany has truly elevated my performance in equestrian show jumping. What sets Brittany apart is her keen attention to detail, particularly in fostering nuanced body awareness and relaxation techniques, which have been game-changers for me. But it's not just about the workouts; Brittany goes above and beyond. She developed a pre-competition warmup routine that prepares me mentally and physically to compete at my best in the ring. Our sessions have helped me reach goals beyond physical fitness as an athlete, and have translated to how I carry myself in everyday life.”
–Camellia F.
“Working with Brittany has opened a whole different meaning to the concept of "mind body connection" to me. It allows me to experience with greater awareness how my body has been holding emotional and physical stress and how I compensate physically. Brittany listens with great care and observes in great detail while creating an environment of safety.
I feel working with her is a great opportunity to connect with my deepest held fears and allows me to experience glimpses of freedom of movement and insight into those deeply ingrained coping mechanisms that have crept into my movement repertoire. I can now see a pathway to increased physical and emotional resilience. I deeply appreciate this opportunity. THANK YOU!”

Hi, I’m Hannah.
I know what it’s like to need your body to perform at its highest level. The power of the mind/body connection has been the foundation of my life as a professional dancer and the inspiration behind my professional training with globally acclaimed teacher trainer Lori Coleman-Brown. I specialize in athletic conditioning, postpartum recovery, and chronic pain management.
As a holistic fitness coach, I’m devoted to helping you live the abundant life you want. My extensive background in dance, Pilates, mindfulness, and performance coaching allow me to guide my clients toward a stronger and more grounded version of themselves. I’d love to help you experience the astounding benefits of total mind/body integration. Your life will never be the same.
“Hannah has an incredible knack for seeing the tiniest adjustments that need to be made, even through a computer screen. Her ability to tune into her student’s body mechanics is like magic.”
–Lessa L.
“I have tried dozens of trainers and Hannah is truly one of the best. As I enter into my 70’s I want to continue surfing and training with Hannah keeps me active, toned, and flexible. I would recommend working with her to anyone who wants to stay healthy as they age.”
–John W.
“6 months postpartum I felt like I was in such capable hands during my first session with Hannah. She was able to take the information I gave her and use it to find the exact exercise my body needed to safely get strong again after having my daughter.”
–Margot G.
