Healing Beyond Medicine

What happens when traditional healthcare falls short and you decide to rewrite the rules for your own healing?

At Reignelle, we love stories of women who step beyond the expected, who build new paths for themselves and others.

Nicole Streich, founder of Pivot Health, is one such woman.

A functional medicine coach based in San Francisco, Nicole is on a mission to help busy professional women break free from the exhausting cycle of IBS symptoms, chronic laxative use, and relentless fatigue.

When Traditional Medicine Isn’t Enough

Nicole’s journey into healthcare was driven by a simple but powerful goal: to prevent disease and keep people healthy.

She spent over 12 years in traditional medicine as a physician assistant, dedicating herself to patient care.

But the reality she saw was heartbreaking.

Time and again, patients and even Nicole herself—were let down by treatments that masked symptoms but didn’t heal the root causes.

Women with IBS were stuck battling bloating, unpredictable bathroom emergencies, and the physical and emotional drain that comes with chronic illness.

“I realized I wanted to help people differently,” Nicole shares.

“To get to the source, not just cover up the pain.”

A New Vision for Healing

That realization sparked the birth of Pivot Health, a coaching business focused on empowering women to reclaim their bodies through lifestyle changes and toxin elimination.

Nicole guides clients to heal IBS by nurturing their bodies’ natural rhythms, not silencing their symptoms.

Her approach isn’t just about managing discomfort, it’s about reclaiming energy, confidence, and freedom.

Starting Small, Dreaming Big

Though she’s only four months into launching Pivot Health, Nicole faces a familiar entrepreneurial challenge: getting her first clients and finding her voice in a crowded digital space.

Marketing, outreach, social media — it’s all new territory and sometimes overwhelming.

“Imposter syndrome hits hard,” she admits.

“Sometimes I question if I’m capable. But I’m showing up anyway.”

And showing up means taking daily steps like working out, walking her puppy, or simply exploring her vibrant San Francisco neighborhood to stay grounded and energized.

Building Community and Courage

One of Nicole’s deepest challenges is feeling isolated as a locum PA, moving between jobs and locations without a consistent community.

That’s why she’s actively creating connection where she lives, stepping outside her comfort zone to meet neighbors and build a support network.

Because healing both personal and professional doesn’t happen in isolation.

It thrives in connection..

A Vision of Freedom and Impact

Nicole’s dream is bold yet simple: to quit the hospital grind, grow her online coaching business, and build a life defined by financial and time freedom.

She imagines traveling when she wants, working on her own terms, and helping women everywhere reclaim their health.

At Reignelle, we’re inspired by Nicole’s courage to pivot, to listen deeply to her own calling, and to bring healing that’s whole and transformative.

Your Health, Your Rules: A New Path to Wellness

Nicole’s story reminds us that sometimes, the greatest healing begins when we stop accepting what’s “normal” and start designing a life and body that truly feel alive.
