Pain and discomfort impact daily life—whether from chronic illness, injuries, overuse conditions, or lifestyle factors such as stress, diet, age, and poor posture. The U.S. healthcare system typically focuses on symptoms and visible test results, often overlooking other crucial factors in patient care. To combat this limitation and as a natural extension of her passion for holistic wellness practices, Nicole Kung founded Nk Body Philosophy in 2007. 

​

The practice began as a massage therapy provider with a focus on evidence-based, medically driven treatments, differentiating itself from spa-based massage. In addition to earning her massage therapy license, Nicole obtained certifications in myofascial release (MFR) and medical massage therapy, becoming an MFR expert. Realizing that massage is only one part of the healing journey, Nicole became certified in personal training, powerlifting, and stretch therapy. To further advance these skills, she also trained to coach flexibility, strength, resistance, neuromuscular re-education, mobility, posture, balance, functional movement, conditioning, corrective exercise, and nutrition. Most recently, Nicole added service modalities and practitioners to incorporate more healing options for clients.
