PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

NICOLE DRAGANI CICCO

Nicole Cicco is a holistic wellness practitioner, educator, and entrepreneur dedicated to bridging science, nature, and spirituality for whole-body healing. With more than two decades of experience in corporate real estate accounting, she built a strong foundation in financial management, data integrity, and organizational leadership before a botched spinal surgery led to arachnoiditis, a rare and painful condition that permanently altered her life and career.


Determined to heal and rebuild, Nicole redirected her analytical skills toward holistic wellness, drawing on the disciplines of psychology, neuroscience, and natural medicine. She holds an Associate of Science (A.S.) in Business & High Technology, an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Accounting, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Accounting, along with extensive certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, Meditation, Herbalism, Trauma-Informed Counseling, Strategic Life Coaching, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Thought-Field Therapy (TFT), and Advanced Integrative Energy Therapy (AIET).


As a certified Reiki Master, ordained Spiritual Minister, and recipient of the Nine Rites of the Munay-Ki, Nicole integrates ancient healing practices with evidence-based approaches. Her recovery journey inspired the creation of The Sound Within Us, a holistic wellness practice offering trauma-informed counseling, energy medicine, vibrational sound therapy, and mindfulness programs designed to promote balance between body, mind, and spirit.


Nicole also founded The Red Dragon Growers, a sustainability and ecotherapy initiative focused on biodiversity, organic cultivation, and herbal medicine. The program provides medicinal herbs, handcrafted remedies, and educational workshops that teach individuals and families to reconnect with nature for mental and emotional well-being.


In addition, Nicole established the Thomas S. Dragani Holistic Business Institute to help practitioners and entrepreneurs build ethical, sustainable, and purpose-driven businesses. Her teaching emphasizes personal responsibility, community service, and long-term ecological and economic balance.


An author, creative artist, singer, and musician, Nicole continues to expand her work through books, workbooks, educational programs, and three YouTube channels that reflect her integrated mission. NikkiNumbers and The Sound Within Us share her personal healing journey along with free inspirational and motivational content that encourages self-awareness and growth. The Red Dragon Growers highlights environmental stewardship, sustainable living, and the cultivation of organic food and herbal medicine on her 1/3-acre suburban sanctuary—home to the apothecary that supports her holistic wellness practice, The Sound Within Us. 


Despite ongoing challenges with chronic pain, Nicole remains dedicated to helping others heal, thrive, and cultivate resilience through practical wisdom, spiritual insight, and connection with the natural world.

"Be the change that you wish to see in this world."

It aims to empower clients by helping them build resilience, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal and professional goals while being sensitive to triggers and individual needs.

In alternative and holistic medicine, it's often used as a tool to address various issues, from breaking bad habits to managing pain. The idea is to reach a state of deep relaxation where the mind is more open to suggestion and positive change. In this altered state of consciousness, commonly referred to as a trance, individuals are more open to suggestions and are better able to access and process subconscious thoughts and emotions.
