Dr. Nicole Bringer, PT, DPT

Dr. Nicole is the owner and a treating therapist at our Holland, Michigan location. She felt called to physical therapy back in high school, but it wasn’t until becoming a mom that she discovered her true passion — helping women through the many transitions of womanhood. 

What began as in-home visits for new moms has grown into a holistic, women’s-only practice now serving both the West Michigan Lakeshore and Troy, Michigan. Nicole is passionate about helping women reconnect with their bodies through every stage of womanhood and can’t wait to partner with you on your journey.

Dr. Nicole Bringer has been working in Physical Therapy since 2010. She earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Grand Valley State University in 2016 after working for several years with her Physical Therapist Assistant Associate's degree from the University of Saint Francis.  She has received CAPP certification in Obstetrics and is in the process of earning her CAPP certificate in Pelvic Health through the American Physical Therapy Association.
