NAO Wellness

Fantastic experience: I've had the amazing experience of working with Nikki this year and can't recommend her services enough. She truly helped me to overhaul my eating & exercise habits (which didn't exist) and get on a path of long-term sustainability. Nikki helped me uncover what wasn't working for me and together created a plan that actually works. It's not a quick fix but a journey that she supports every step of the way. I've never felt and looked better. Her approach is nonjudgemental, full of love but is sure to give you the push you need to reach your goals. I am forever grateful for our work together.

Fantastic experience: NAO wellness is a great place because of all the people there and how it looks and because my mom’s there

Fantastic experience: If I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. I sought Nikki’s advice after the medical community failed me for over 6 months. I had been hospitalized twice for unremitting abdominal pain, but no doctor could tell me what was wrong despite numerous diagnostic tests, visits with specialists, and thousands of dollars in bills. Nikki suggested the ALCAT (food sensitivity testing), and that changing the way I ate would heal a likely case of leaky gut syndrome. Coupling the ALCAT results with Nikki’s vast experience, and putting her plan into practice, it’s now been 2 months and I haven’t had a stomach ache, headache or rash. I’m sleeping better, have much more energy, lost 10 pounds without trying very hard, and feel much calmer. Nikki often says that “food is fuel” and “food is medicine” - both are true but I didn’t realize the full extent of how these principles would affect me for the better until, with Nikki’s guidance, I embraced them. Always available for support, encouragement, a recipe suggestion, or even just a check in, Nikki is more than a “nutritionist” or “dietician.” She focuses on whole body and mind wellness, self care, and finding happiness while overcoming the struggles that many of us face with food, whether caused by sensitivities, disordered eating or other issues. Her help and advice has been simply invaluable and I am profoundly grateful.

Fantastic experience: Nikki has such an educational approach to her work! Even in our short time together, she guided me through the reasons behind each step, laying down the benefits and how I could keep the work myself. She is so passionate about what she does, and it shows!

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Nikki as part of a client activation and was absolutely blown away by her expertise and skillset. Her unique perspective on the wellness industry and integrative health space is unparalleled and I encourage anyone seeking these services to inquire about her offerings. Alongside my client, I invited top-tier editors in the lifestyle, beauty, and fitness space to join Nikki for a private Ear Seeding experience, one of her signature practices. Both my client and the media were so appreciative of the time and attention Nikki took to create an intimate session that left us all feeling refreshed and informed. Nikki's passion for her work and commitment to serving others makes her an asset to anyone looking for health and wellness services to better themselves, their team, or loved ones. I'm looking forward to staying in touch with her and finding ways to incorporate her offerings into my routine, both personally and professionally.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nikki for years now and have seen amazing results in how I feel. The food sensitivity test was key for Nikki to guide me through a meal plan. I'm so grateful to have found her!! I have much better discipline and eating habits with Nikki's help.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Nikki for quite some time now and I felt compelled to write a review, bc she is so deserving! I am constantly amazed by all the tools Nikki has in her toolbox. Just when I think I have an insurmountable issue, Nikki is able to be an incredible sounding board, hold space, but even further, she offers solutions I could never have come up with on my own. I did the food sensitivity and omg, the insights!! It was truly life changing!! This journey can be tough sometimes but having Nikki as a partner, makes me feel like I can do anything!! Choosing Nikki was the best gift I ever gave myself!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to NAO Wellness for creating this in-home wellness package. I love these ear seeds. Cute packaging and super easy-to-follow instructions. They stick on so well and last for over a week. I use them especially if I need to get lots of projects done at once, since they increase my ability to focus. I have also used them for stress relief and what a miracle they are. My jaw always tenses up and whenever I use the ear seeds I can feel an immediate reduction of any tension and stress levels go down.. I am so happy for these little sparkly life savers. xx, Nicole

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my acupressure ear seed at-home kit - fashionable and so healing! I used mine to help relieve stress and anxiety. Felt increased tranquility after my first use. It's now a vital part of my wellness routine. :)

Fantastic experience: I had struggled with severe bloating for over a year before I saw Nikki. After the initial consultation and food intolerance test, she is so amazing about following up with a specific plan for you. She makes the dietary adjustments easy enough so that it does not feel overwhelming or unsustainable. My bloating is now at the lowest its been in the past 2 years and I have a full grasp on how to sustain it going forward thanks to Nikki!

Fantastic experience: I saw Nikki in 2011 and it was life changing. Working with her, I learned I was lactose intolerant and received a great education on the importance of having a customized nutrition plan to meet my body's specific needs. Nine years later, I reached out again in Feb 2020 to reset after a couple of years of deprioritizing my health. Seeing Nikki again was like riding a bike - she was as warm, understanding, and supportive as ever. She created a very thorough shopping list with a ton of new brands and delicious recipe options that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Nikki made food shopping and cooking FUN because I could feel and taste the difference of what I was putting in my body. And all super easy to find and make!! Fast forward to COVID-19. I was lucky enough to start doing the work a month before the world changed. By then, I was already used to making better food choices for me and having Nikki by my side. While a lot of people were eating through their anxieties, Nikki's support helped me have the semblance of agency by making the most nourishing and simple meals. While I don't weigh myself, I'm definitely thinner and my clothes fit looser. And I feel amazing all around. More than that, Nikki's guidance is holistic. She not only focuses on the food, but also the mental and emotional. Nikki probes deep to help me get in touch with my feelings and then releasing them. She is the real deal and an amazing cheerleader - during the good and the bad! Now getting down to business. Nikki is super responsive (almost at lightning speed) and she's cost conscious. There's a stigma about eating healthy being expensive, but Nikki finds you options and promo codes galore. Seeing her is an investment in your health, and you learn how to maximize it! Call her. Right now. You'll gain a better appreciation for your health and strength, as well as a true friend and champion.

Fantastic experience: The place was amazing ! The staff was delightful and with Nicole all the healing I needed was achieved. I recommended this place to all my friends and family already. The environment is very friendly and they make you feel at home.

Fantastic experience: Wow! What a difference a year makes! One year ago, I decided I needed to start living a healthier life, beginning with nutrition, encompassing making other choices in my life that promoted better health. I had no idea where to start. I was introduced to Nikki Ostrower at NAO Wellness and I started working with her to accomplish my goals. She helped me build from the ground up a foundation and awareness to eating healthy foods and eliminating the unhealthy choices I had been making. This was quite daunting because I was living a life prior to NAO Wellness that was full of pizza, pasta, fried food and sugar consumption. Nikki guided me through what has been nothing short of a nutritional transformation, starting with giving me the tools to making alternative healthy choices throughout the day and weeks ahead. Over the past year 100% of what I eat has nutritional value and has made me feel and look 15 years younger. The poor food choices I had made in the past, are now not even a consideration for me. I truly don’t feel I am missing out on anything, because I love the new foods I am eating and how good they make me feel. The bonus to the work I have done, with Nikki’s unwavering support, is I have lost 32 lbs., which is 15% of my body weight. To be clear, my goals did not include weight loss. I wanted to be healthier. So the weight loss was a very welcomed ancillary benefit of doing the work. I never felt I was dieting for one minute this past year. Another benefit is that I am sleeping better than I have in my entire adult life, and I have a ton of energy. I whole heartedly recommend NAO Wellness to anyone who wants to improve their health. The NAO program provides support along every step of the process. This includes periodic consultations, email support for any questions between consultations and literally identifying healthy choices from menus of your favorite restaurants. From day one of this journey to better health NAO was a strong and supportive advocate, who without judgement, I felt was rooting for me every step of the way. If you are looking to invest in yourself and your longer-term health, I would recommend working with Nikki Ostrower and NAO Wellness. You will be incredibly happy with the value and results of that decision.

Fantastic experience: Nikki of Nao Wellness is the best nutritionist in NYC. I was introduced by a friend back in 2018 and she helped me get to the bottom of several problems that multiple doctors couldn't determine. Through comprehensive testing and some behavioral changed I fixed stomach problems that I have been having my entire life. I am forever grateful for the path they guided me through and strongly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has spent over ten years living in Manhattan and now travels the world full-time testing out wellness companies globally for my company that optimizes for SLEEP ;) - I am so thankful to have Nao Wellness as a part of my Must-Do wellness stack every time I'm in NYC. Their nutrition guidance is genuinely lifechanging, and it's a coaching service that I use while traveling internationally. It's been invaluable to me. The infrared saunas have measurably improved my sleep quality & health metrics, as evidenced by the absurd amount of sleep trackers that I experiment with (Dreem 2 and Oura ring at the moment!). Not only has it help bolster my immune system to help me recover from jetlag more swiftly than without, but it also helps with my mood and vitality. The wellness community is incredible. I attend every workshop that I can and always walk out with a new friend, freebie, recipe, paradigm-shift, etc. Not to mention - the place is beautiful. I feel immediately relaxed and like I'm on a mini-vacation when I walk in the door and take my shoes off (love that!!) and settle in for some self-care time. Swing by, and I'm confident that it will become your oasis in the middle of Manhattan.

Fantastic experience: Searching

Fantastic experience: Grateful for all of Jessica’s help at NAO. I really enjoyed my visits and time there.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Ralda at NOA Wellness for over 3 months. A few years before I contacted NOA, I had changed how I eat and I was exercising regularly, but I did not see the drop in weight you would expect. I thought I was eating right and have tried all kinds of diet in the past with little to show for. I had an initial call with Nikki and scheduled an Alcat Test. After the results came in, Nikki went over them. I been working with them since the end of March 2019 and I've lost close to 30 Lbs. Ralda provides helpful information and is very responsive when I reach out to her. You don't have to count calories or starve yourself. They teach you how to eat healthy. Tweaking a few things made a big difference in my weight loss. Some things were hard to hear and follow, but I can see that these changes are necessary in the long term and change. Ralda even provided me a list of snacks that I can enjoy. I can't thank Nikki and Ralda enough for their support.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, along with a clean and positive environment:) I love coming here!

Fantastic experience: My first experience with reiki was at NAO wellness. Sarah has a truly incredible gift. I found the experience both affirming and very accurate for what was happening in my Life. The guided meditation is also wonderful!

Fantastic experience: NAO is truly a wonderful place and I am so grateful that a friend referred me here. The ALCAT test jump started my journey back into health and Jessica has been a vital and indispensable part of my healing process. I’ve been working with Jessica for more than 6 months now, and I, as well as my friends and family, have seen a dramatic positive change. I’m not going to say following all of the recommendations were a walk in the park but now having seen results I am so grateful for Jessica always being there for me, holding my hand on the path of healing, and for giving me the confidence to finally take charge of my health.

Fantastic experience: Nikki & Ellie came to my workplace to present a workshop on how to stay healthy while working a demanding job. The event was extremely well attended, with over 50 women who wanted to come learn about the topic. They were super informative, while keeping the workshop extremely interactive and fun. We learned a lot of useful tips about how to incorporate basic changes into our day to day busy lives to help improve how we feel. I found it extremely helpful to hear from the dynamic duo. I cannot recommend this workshop more for every corporation and small company alike! Looking forward to visiting NAO Wellness center soon to see all the other services they offer.

Fantastic experience: I loved my experience at NAO Wellness, and highly recommend it to everyone looking to change their life for the better. Before I came to NAO, I suffered from nutritional deficiencies and consequently bone injuries, due to stomach issues and poor diet. Working with Jessica changed that, and helped me tremendously. Jessica helped me understand and learn so many important concepts of nutrition, was kind and understanding, and always encouraging and oh so helpful. The atmosphere at NAO wellness is so calm and inviting, a total oasis from the bustle of New York City. I am so glad I found NAO Wellness and Jessica!

Fantastic experience: I found Nao Wellness by accident (or maybe not:). I was directed there to by someone to purchase a product I was looking for but when I arrived, I was immediately taken back by the serenity and peaceful setting inside and the feeling that I was NOT in NYC. The girls at the front desk were so lovely and as I purchased what I went there for, I also inquired about some of the modalities offered at Nao Wellness. I signed up for a workshop with Sara Choi, a Reiki healer, and also had my 1st private Reiki session this week (and definitely not my last)! Sara is so incredibly warm, kind, open and knowledgeable. She explains everything in such a light hearted manner and in such a relatable way --- drawing in everyday experiences to share how one may benefit from Reiki. I have been involved with yoga/mediation/reiki and other healing modalities for years and I never met anyone like Sara. My 1st session with her was amazing. I felt her energy and her work immediately during the session, and after. She relayed divine messages so to the point, I was speechless. There is no way she could have known about some of the things circling in my daily life, but she delivered guidance in the most gentle manner. Sara's whole persona is so incredibly lovely - she is truly an angel. For those who have never tried Reiki, you must must go to Nao and work with Sara. You will NOT be disappointed. Next up, I will be trying the infrared sauna soon!

Fantastic experience: Nikki has helped me in more ways than I can explain on here. From helping manage a lot of new and confusing gut issues to helping me build out a sustainable, balanced meal plan, there's nothing I wouldn't trust her with. She has also introduced me to many many amazing products that I now use consistently (specific probiotics, CBD, collagen as well as local things like rotisserie chicken nearby, etc). I feel comfortable texting or calling Nikki whenever I need her help, when she says she's available around the clock she truly means it. The environment at NAO is also very calming, and you immediately feel at home in the space. Aside from seeing Nikki for nutritional guidance, I've also had several Reiki sessions at NAO, which have been INCREDIBLE. I always leave this place feeling substantially better than when I arrived!

Fantastic experience: Living in NYC can take a toll on me- body, mind, and spirit. It's so important to have a safe space to find refuge from the stress and busy pace of the city. I love the welcoming and supportive feeling I sense as soon as I walk through the front door at NAO Wellness. NAO is a beautiful, warm space and the people are genuinely kind and helpful. I'm so glad there's a peaceful place like NAO, with its amazing staff and personalized services. It truly is a haven in the city.

Fantastic experience: I spent months searching for the perfect nutritional coach to help me out of this rut that I've been in. As a new mother, nothing means more to me than having optimal health and instilling the same into my child. Jessica has been a blessing in my life. She motivates, educates, and uplifts me throughout my transformative journey. I would recommend Jessica to anyone that is struggling tremendously with their self care and ability to properly nourish themselves. Having her has been a real life changer!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had two reiki sessions with Maddie and she’s already changed my life. My daily foot pain from a previous injury has vanished; since my first session two months ago I’ve felt no pain. The energy I walk with through life is completely different. I feel lighter and more joyous. I have been an overwater my whole life (something we never discussed) and suddenly I’m not over eating. I’m not accessing my willpower, I just don’t do it now. My body started reacting to gluten and diary so I stopped eating it without even trying - no cravings. Most incredible, people and things that propel me forward in my career have started pouring into my life. Daily I have kismet moments. AT LEAST once a day, every single day. I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s all I can talk about and everyone should be so fortunate to experience what I have. I can’t wait for my next session.

Fantastic experience: Really special wellness haven in a great location. The owner is a nutrition and holistic health expert who is always so helpful. I've had nothing but amazing and positive experiences at Nao, whether it be their saunas, wellness workshops or products. Can't wait to go back soon!

Fantastic experience: NAO Wellness is a truly unique and amazing place, an OASIS within the City. Nikki and her staff are dedicated, caring professionals who deliver an absolutely high-class, wellness-inspired service. It seems as if this is a well-established operation even though it is still relatively new. The services continue to expand and I cant think of another place that is even close. Everyone we've dealt with there is first-class. The sauna was great, and we've also done the vitamin IV infusion and food allergy testing. Can't wait to do the massages, meditation, etc!!

Fantastic experience: Nao Wellness, Nikki and the amazing team are always welcoming as you enter the studio. It's calming and refreshing to step away from the busy life that NYC brings. Thank you! The sauna rooms are just perfect for energy and rejuvenation. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing sauna appointment today. My skin, my body, everything feels rejuvenated. I certainly will be back. Highly highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Best place ever! The sauna was amazing!!!

Fantastic experience: Jessica is amazing! She is so thoughtful and really listens to your needs. She has completely changed my view on food and the power nutrition has to really heal your mind and body! I feel like a completely different person after just two weeks on her meal plan. My anxiety has greatly diminished and overall I feel so much more balanced and just happier. I truly recommend anyone to visit Nao Wellness, they help heal, education and transform you :)

Fantastic experience: I worked with Jessica for a number of months and it was a great experience all around. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to diet / nutrition / exercise but wanted to get myself in my best shape ahead of my wedding. Despite my knowledge of the area, I was surprised at the new concepts and diet theories that Jessica taught me. My favorite thing I learned from working with her was the inter-relationship of diet / weight loss with other aspects of our lives (happiness / fulfillment at work / home and our levels of stress and creativity). We often would talk about much more than food and looked at a wholistic approach to what was going on in my life. I guess I always knew these things, but talking about it with her made me come to a few profound personal realizations. In fact, I even saw how my stress and unhappiness at work was preventing my body from experiencing weight loss and muscle gain despite being extremely strict on my diet and in my work-outs. Jessica always helped me focus on the "wins" instead of the "losses", which ultimately lead to dramatic results for me, including a great journey of self care, exploration and appreciation. If you are looking for a great all around person who brings in a broad view and will help you make genuine connections and results, then you should work with Jessica. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Fantastic experience: NAO Wellness changed the way I live in the city! The space is so inviting and warm. It has great infrared saunas, counselors, and other facilities to help relax and be the healthiest version of yourself. I was lucky enough to see Jessica, a counselor at NAO who is absolutely wonderful. She helped me navigate various stomach problems, what foods work for my body, and different supplements that have helped change my life. She is very easy to talk to about every issue and is extremely gentle while still making strong suggestions about what she thinks the root of the problem is. I would highly recommend NAO to anyone!

Fantastic experience: First and foremost I will start by saying I am beyond blessed to have met Nikki & forever grateful for her help to healing my gut. She has the most beautiful, warm, calming, radiant soul.I have always been obsessed with health and wellness, researching the latest trends, shopping at Whole Foods and reading all my food labels. I thought I was eating so healthy...I became vegan is college, then graduated and started working 12 hour shifts so I always had "healthy snacks" aka protein bars, chia bars, popcorn, protein shakes, ect. For meals ate big salads or stir fries. Over the past few years my stomach never felt right despite what I ate. I was always bloated, gassy, have abdominal pain, diarrhea ect. I was introduced to Nikki by a friend and my whole life changed. I got the ALCAT test done to identify food intolerances and after chatting with Nikki about what I eat/symptoms she told me I have leaky gut syndrome. I survived my initial detox with the help of Nikki, she was there every step of the way with such loving support and accountability. I started to get anxiety when I had to eat food other than what I cooked but Nikki helped ease my fears. I have never felt better; my GI symptoms drastically have improved and I have more energy than ever and only 1.5 months into healing. NAO is truly an escape from the city...the minute you step in the center and take your shoes off, you feel so welcomed & relaxed and leave recharged. It is my favorite place to be; the staff are all so friendly, also the infrared sauna's are incredible and provide so many healing benefits. I can't thank Nikki enough for helping me heal my gut, being my support system, opening my eyes to real nutrition & change my whole life for the better!

Fantastic experience: Amazing space

Fantastic experience: The second I walked through the door to NAO Wellness, I knew I was someplace special. Nikki is the best! The studio is so beautiful, welcoming and completely put me at ease. Sara was incredibly comforting and was informative and kind. I look forward to returning in the future!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Anne Markt for 5 months and the experience has been transformative. Not only have I physically achieved my goals (I have lost 25 lbs) but I feel more confident in my food choices, empowered to eat food that makes me feel good, and supported in leading a balanced life. Anne has an extremely positive demeanor that is infectious and has helped me to be kinder to myself. She is a cheerleader who pushes you to be better while still celebrating you. I highly recommend Anne and NAO nutrition for anyone trying to find peace of mind when it comes to nutrition and wellness.

Fantastic experience: Working with Nikki has been a real gift to me. I reached out to her after months of uncharacteristic weight gain. After our first session I felt relieved. She has a huge depth of knowledge and is a warm, wise guide. She provided a clear path for me based on my circumstances. She is also well-versed in recovery, which I loved. Her program is rooted in body–mind connection, and is a gentle yet concrete. Through my work with her I found clarity around a stressful personal issue that was leading to overeating, and I was able to stop the overeating response. I also discovered that I had hypothyroidism, which was a primary cause of my weight gain. Nikki helped me to learn more about the disease, how it affects my body, and how to adjust my diet in response. My work with her enabled me to be a much better advocate for myself with my doctors by learning enough to ask smarter, more informed questions. Also, working with Nikki is fun. Every time I see her I leave a little smarter and with something new to try. It’s an adventure. I love having her on my team.

Fantastic experience: NAO Nutrition provides a brilliant program to help you understand your relationship with food and wellness. Nikki and her staff are professional, caring, kind and know their stuff. I have been working with Nikki for years and she has help change my mind, body and spirit. You are not alone in any matter and if something isn't working, there is always another plan. She works with everyone- children, men, women. I honestly, dont know where I would be without her plan. Best decision!

Fantastic experience: Nikki of Nao is the best! Super supportive but very clear and firm about the changes I need to make. Recommend her 100% for those who are ready for a healthy and happy life!

Fantastic experience: Hiring Katie Fitzgerald was one of the best decisions I ever made. I had just started a workout program to get back in shape, and I knew that, at my age (I'm 44), I'd need all the help I could get. So I made an appointment with Katie for nutritional advice, and I'm very glad I did. Katie cleared up a lot of popular misconceptions about health and dieting, steered me away from some unhealthy workout supplements (there are a lot of them out there), pointed me to some better products, designed a nutrition plan (complete with recipes) with my specific health and fitness goals in mind, and kept in touch afterwards as I adapted to my new lifestyle. What's more, she answered all my questions in a clear and timely fashion; I always felt like I could reach out to her if I ever had a question or a concern about anything nutrition-related. The results have been fantastic! In three months, I've lost 17 pounds, cut my body fat percentage in half, reduced my bad cholesterol by 22 points, built some lean muscle, and dropped 3 inches off my waist. Before seeing Katie, I was a typical middle-age schlub who had an at best confused understanding of nutrition, suffered from low daily energy, struggled to complete his workouts, and already had some serious red flags for potential heart problems. Now, I'm trim; I feel great; I have tons of energy; I get compliments on my appearance; and I'm well on my way to achieving my health and fitness goals. I still have a way to go, of course. (Having experienced what it's like to live with a clean diet, I've developed even more ambitious fitness goals.) But I'm confident that the things I learned from Katie will get me to here I want to be. If you're serious about taking care of your health, I highly recommend Katie Fitzgerald. She's certainly done wonders for me!

Fantastic experience: Working with Nikki has changed my life. Physically, I feel like a new person with a healthy, smart food plan that works for me. I finally understand and appreciate what I put into my body. And I understand what my body needs, as well as can't tolerate based on the ALCAT food intolerance test. Emotionally, I finally have someone I can speak to honestly without judgment about the variety of food and health of issues I have experienced throughout life. Her nonstop support and encouragement, in a way that works for me, has made a huge difference. When I first went to Nikki, I had been diagnosed with a mild case of colitis. Thanks to her nutrition plan, I have been able to keep it in check without having to go on medication. I also lost 10 pounds in the process without counting a single calorie! Nikki is one of a kind and I can't recommend her strongly enough to anyone who wants to eat well and feel their best!

Fantastic experience: Nikki has changed my life. I developed a horrible relationship with food, myself, and my body from a relatively early age. That slowly led to multiple eating disorders in which I tried to simply lose weight because then I would be happy and people would like me more. However, every diet, gimmick, trainer, nutritionist, and even therapist simply led to a deeper hatred of myself, a ton of weight gain, ruined relationships, and an overall dark, lonely life. Then I met Nikki. I found her through Yelp actually. Nikki's approach is holistic incorporating mind, body, and soul. She offers endless tools and guidance that have helped me learn what it truly means to be happy with myself and to be free of food. With her help my eating disorder has significantly dwindled, I am mindful, my gut is sealed (both physical gut and mental gut), I no longer isolate myself in fear of gaining weight, bingeing, or disapproval from others, my skin is glowing (but I feel as though that comes from the inside out), and, in a healthy, safe, non-restrictive, supportive way, the weight has melted off. Nikki is always available for guidance. She listens, guides, advises, and supports completely free of judgement and 100% with love. I now know so much more about myself, my actions, my mind, and in turn can truly assess how the food makes me feel or how it will if I eat it. I actually look in the mirror and love what I see. Nikki has changed my life and I believe, with her help, I will be completely free of food. I will be forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: I can say without a doubt that Nikki has changed our lives. For me - she was the first person to ever point out that milk may be causing my sinus/allergy issues. I was drinking a TON of milk regularly. Sure enough - I cut it out of my diet (which was very hard for me at first, but Nikki was encouraging and supportive along the way to get me through it), and I saw some impressive results. She's opened my eyes to so many things about living better/healthier. For my wife, her results were even more impressive. She was recently diagnosed with some health issues that Nikki was able to coach us through to completely attack via diet. We owe a lot to what Nikki has taught us, and she's the first person I recommend whenever anyone has some health issues they want to address.

Fantastic experience: My high school daughter and I worked with Nikki and she was loving, compassionate and very effective! She is a mine of information which she turns into very straight forward and helpful advice - including shopping lists and recipes. She has actually got our entire family eating well. She sorted out our issues so quickly and continues to be available for support and encouragement. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. We love her holistic approach and her advice and suggestions are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Nikki is the best! She's more than just a nutrionist, she's a friend. Her approach is one that makes you feel like you're the only client that matters, and that's just the way you want to feel when you are going through major changes. She is committed and dedicated to you and everything that she does. It's been a great ride and I know Nikki is always there to reach out to no matter where I am on my journey. Genuinely awesome

Negative experience: Very expensive for the type of information, material and facilities that she provided.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Nikki for 3 years and can honestly say she is an amazing inspiration and coach for my family. I have 3 kids between the ages of 9 and 13 and they each have different eating habits, likes/dislikes, and of course different needs. Nikki changed how we look at meals and food together as a family and has made our relationships with each other and with nutrition so much more positive. Nikki is also a special person who makes everyone she works with feel special and good.

Fantastic experience: Nikki was great in getting me back on track to a healthy lifestyle. She educated me on what to look for when reading food and product labels as well as teaching me the impact that the ingredients have on my body. I suffered from a sweet tooth and Nikki provided multiple options on how to kill that craving (it actually worked). She provided multiple food options (ingredients and recipes) that catered to my picky tastes. She provided educational readings each week that further explained what she had gone over in the session. Nikki's approach is not focused on dieting but rather finding a sustainable eating lifestyle. Nikki has completely changed my view on what is healthy vs. not healthy.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for someone to drastically change your life in a completely positive way you need to see Kelsey from NAO! I approached her and Nikki because I suffer from Urticaria and digestive problems and was tired of using my 1 a day antibiotics. Expecting just a couple pointers NAO went above and beyond and sent me a 27 page packet full or amazing nuggets of information and recipe ideas. I can honestly say I've never felt better and my symptoms are starting to subside. If you are looking for a lifestyle change, attitude adjustment, or just being more healthy, Kelsey and NAO nutrition are the people to see!

Fantastic experience: I worked with Nikki for about 3 months and she has forever changed the way I relate to food. Yes, she helped me loose weight while getting to eat delicious things and never be hungry, but more importantly, she taught me how to think about food, how to make better food choices in all situations, understand my body and how it reacts to food, and most of all, my entire relationship with food. I can't recommend Nikki enough!

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband had completely different eating habits, but none of them were healthy. I'm vegetarian and a really picky eater. My diet was based on carbs (rice, pasta, bread) and cheese. I used to have anemia very often and was always feeling weak and tired. I also had insomnia, frequently headaches and a chronic sinusites that wouldn't go away since I moved here to NY (3 years). My husband's diet was based on junk food and soda. He had high cholesterol, high blood sugar, high blood pressure and gained weight. We decided it was time to change our habits, and even though we were really different in terms of what we liked to eat, we thought we should try to see a nutritionist together, to help us plan our meals together easier. And it was the best thing we did. Besides being really nice and making us feel completely comfortable, she is extremely understanding. She helped us both change our habits and choose healthier foods that we really liked with such a patience and really caring for our likes and dislikes The great thing about Nikki is that she doesn't make you count calories or eat things you don't like. She teaches you how to choose foods that are good for you, and the effects on your body when you eat foods that are not. She teaches you about the ingredients used, the good and the bad ones, and when you realize, you WANT to eat healthier things. You start to read all the labels and start worrying about what you are putting in your mouth We also love the fact that she doesn't make you cook if you don't like to do so. She guides you on where to buy ready-to-eat healthy foods and also restaurants that deliver to your home or work! That made the process much easier, since we don't have much time to cook!!! After around 4 months with her, my husband dropped all the weight he gained (20 pounds!!) and doesn't need to take his medicines anymore! His blood pressure is low and he didn't even need to stop adding salt to his foods... I have so much energy now, the insomnia is gone, I don't have sinusitis anymore (even stopped taking the meds). I'm also free of that frequent headaches I used to have! Our skin is amazing. My husband also had skin breakouts, and he even tried accutane, which he had to stop because of the side effects. Now his skin is amazing. Everyone comments on how we look better. It's not only about weight, but it's everything! It's the skin, the energy, the mood. Now we can se so clearly the difference when we eat unhealthy food that we don't even feel like eating it anymore! People don't even believe when they see us wanting to eat vegetables or other healthy foods, but we feel so much better now!!

Fantastic experience: I am a psychotherapist in NYC that specializes in working with addictions and have experienced increased success with my clients who have an eating disorder who have been working with Nikki Ostrower, a nutritionist. As I have gotten to know Nikki as an experienced nutritionist, I have realized that she goes the extra mile for her clients in that she will not only educate her clients about the food they eat but she will accompany them to the grocery store to support them in learning how to shop for nutritionally sound food choices. In addition, for those who will it help, she'll have a meal or meals with them to share with them about eating. She is more than a nutritionist. She is a coach and a mentor to her clients. I highly endorse Nikki for anyone who could benefit from a consultation with a nutritionist and you may just want some support and increased knowledge for your own sense of increased well-being. Whether you have an eating disorder, need nutritional advice or are thinking of a lifestyle change with your food, Nikki is the one to call.
