The ceremony was absolutely perfect, and we’re so grateful she was a part of it! Afterward, she took some beautiful photos that captured the emotion of the moment so well. We 100% recommend Nicolle!

We cannot recommend Nicolle highly enough!
From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable, supported, and at ease. She was incredibly easy to communicate with, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our day special. She even travelled to be part of our elopement and braved a rocky waterfall ledge to make our number one ceremony location choice a reality.
We have a unique love story, and it meant so much to have someone who embraced our journey with such warmth, kindness, and no judgment. She made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves and helped make our special day feel even more meaningful.
We are so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding day and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a celebrant who is genuinely caring, understanding, and passionate about what she does. Thank you for make our day so special!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Nicolle! She has been doing my hair since 2015, and over the years we have done just about everything imaginable! So many different colors, cuts, Halloween hair, wedding hair, and everything in between!
One of the things I love most about Nicolle is that I can sit in her chair, give her complete creative freedom, and know I'm going to love the results. But when I have something specific in mind, she listens, pays attention to the details, and makes sure it's exactly what I want.
Her talent, knowledge, and creativity are incredible, but what makes her even more special is the person she is. Over the years, she has become so much more than my hairstylist. She's a wonderful friend, and I genuinely look forward to every appointment.
After more than a decade of trusting her with my hair, I wouldn't have it any other way! I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️

I have been going to Nicolle since May of 2020 and highly recommend her. I am not great at styling and like easy to care for cuts. Her haircuts are amazing and look great without a lot of work on my part. Nicolle uses clean and gentle products which is important to me. My typical visit includes a cut and style, eye brow waxing, and a mani-pedi. Other times, I relax with an EvanHealy facial (very relaxing!) or reiki.
Nicolle is warm, kind and generous. Her salon is a peaceful retreat and unlike typical noisy and boisterous salons.I leave feeling calm, centered and beautiful inside and out. It’s a pleasure to be with Nicolle!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Nicolle as our wedding officiant a little over a year ago, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we met her, she brought such genuine warmth, calm, and positivity. She has a gift for truly seeing people and creating a space that feels both personal and meaningful.
Since then, my husband and I have happily become her loyal clients for haircuts and Reiki. Each time we see her, she brings the same kindness, attentiveness, and uplifting energy that made our wedding day so special. Nicolle is not only incredibly talented in her many crafts, but also one of those rare people who make you feel instantly at ease.
We are so grateful to have met her and will continue to recommend her to anyone seeking an officiant or any of the other wonderful services she provides!

I just have to say, when my wife and I were looking through the names of all the eligible candidates to marry us, the name alone stood out. She helped me decide on my vows, and she showed up ready to go. Let me tell you, it was a hot summer day, and we were married at the Rose Garden in Boise, next to the fountain. She didn't hesitate and she made us feel like we were life long friends. This woman, had the purity that you don't come across everyday. Her smile alone reassured me that I had a life long friend. To this day, since May 31st of 2015 she remains a light, a source of grand Devine powers, and a beautiful soul. The minute you talk to her you'll know what I mean. I'm very humbled, and grateful for her and what she represents. Peace, Love, and happiness. Blessings.

I just received the most loving, exceptional Reiki session from Nicolle Foster.
I set my intention for the session and promptly fell asleep. Nicolle creates a safe, gentle yet powerful atmosphere.
I highly recommend her as a practitioner, she has mastered the ever evolving craft.

Nicolle married us on February 22nd, 2022.
She was awesome and managed to time it in a way, that she concluded the entire ceremony by 2.22pm! 😄
When we were out 'shopping' for an officiant to marry us - I stumbled across Nicole's website, and lo and behold, she sounded like my type of person.
My fiancè wasn't the woo-woo type (though I don't consider Nicolle 'woo-woo', as in airy-fairy New Age-y), but he didn't mind my choice at all. His focus was to marry me. 🤭
It's been over four years and my husband still sings praises for Nicole. We'd enjoyed meeting her; she's warm, natural and made our simple ceremony, memorable.
We're doing great, Nicolle. We're a complement to each other, rather than a match. We're partners and best friends. And, we have a LOT of laughter, daily.🩷
Thank you, so very much.

We had a wonderful experience with Nicolle! We wanted a personal, intimate experience and she provided just that. She held our hand through the entire process and made our day super easy. Our guests told us it was a beautiful ceremony. She is a warm, lovely person and I highly recommend her services!
