TEXAS HEALTH NEWS: Houston entrepreneur Nicole Peele survives domestic violence, starts a resourceful online wellness company

PEELE BACK SUCCESS
Just after 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, Nicole Peele was met by a wave of emotions. For all the right reasons, too.
“I’m excited and happy and I don’t know if I want to cry,” Peele told Making Headline News this week.
To grasp a thorough understanding of why Peele, a 49-year-old resourceful businesswoman who’s the owner and CEO of Nicole Peele Wellness, was harboring a rather spirited countenance hours after sunrise Wednesday, look no further than the assortment of hurdles about which she’s had to clear in recent years.
Looking back, no one should deem it a surprise to know why she’s admittedly excited and happy and, well, doesn’t know if she just might settle for unleashing a few tears.
For all the right reasons, mind you.
“I’m a domestic violence survivor,” Peele said.

To be more technical, Peele is a once battered woman whom, not too long ago, had become the subject of death threats by her ex-husband.
She recalls like yesterday how in 2016 on New Year’s Eve, she and her two teenage daughters had vacated their home after her abusive husband had left for the gym.
“We left with the clothes on our back,” Peele recalled.
As if that wasn’t enough to shake the spirits of this former military solider, Peele and her daughters were essentially homeless for approximately three months, having established a residence in her car, not to mention having staked out in different hotels, all the while hiding from her former husband whom, according to Peele, had “promised to kill me.”
“He put a gun to our youngest daughter’s head three months before we left,” Peele explained. “My girls have PTSD because of the abuse and gun incident. God kept us. Reiki was a great tool to help us heal emotionally, which is why I was drawn to it.”
Thanks in large part to reiki — which is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being — Peele managed to not just recover mightily from domestic abuse.
Most importantly, she managed to connect with the divine purpose for which she was created.
A United States Army veteran, Peele is a certified Holistic Health Coach and a Naturopathic Rieki Master, whose Lifestyle and Wellness Company customarily provides online wellness coaching and mobile reiki therapy.

“My mission as you start your wellness journey is to meet you where you are,” Peele said. “I make you smarter about food and your relationship with food. I teach my clients about primary foods…these are things that feed you off the plate.”
As Peele explained, her online wellness venture is grouped into four distinct categories: healthy relationships, desired career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual practice (“not religion,” she emphasized).
“As a Reiki Master, I provide energy healing to clients who suffer from physical, emotional, and spiritual traumas,” Peele said.
A native of Mount Olive, North Carolina, Peele’s desire to start her online wellness company was fueled amid freak back and hip injuries, during which she was on active duty.
“I had four surgeries in two years,” Peele recalled. “I was walking with a walker and crutches. I was 210 pounds and so unhappy.”
Interestingly and much to her delight, she took the initiative to implement the essential changes that would greatly alter the overall landscape of her life.
“I started reading healthy blogs, changing how I age, and started to feel better inside and out…sleeping better, more energy and happy again,” Peele said. “I lost 45 pounds and have kept it off for five years.”
An online wellness company that went into full operations in 2012, Peele has become greatly inspired to aid other women achieve their health-related goals and objectives.
“My competitive drive is to help women who are in the same place that I was find health and happiness,” Peele said.
As for those who inspired her to broaden her horizon by starting her business, Peele credits childhood friend Edwina Moore, whom she recalled had purchased a NutriBullet and posted it on Facebook some five years ago, thus giving way to favorable results.
“I bought one and haven’t look back,” said Peele, adding that she’s appreciative to Sharetha Simpson, her Reiki Master, whom she credits for having inspired her to become an energy healer.
Arguably one of Peele’s grandest supporters is Chandra Williams, the founder of Amazing Soldiers, Inc. in nearby Katy, Texas, where Peele presently serves as Program Director.
“Chandra has been one of my biggest supporters and encouragers,” Peele said.
This, to her credit, is a far cry from the past.

This, to her credit, also sums up why no one should deem it a surprise to know why she’s admittedly excited and happy and, well, doesn’t know if she just might settle for releasing a few tears.
For all the right reasons, too.
“When I was going through my wellness journey, I had nobody to support me,” Peele said. “Edwina lives in Florida. I was in Maryland. I wasn’t able to explain to my family the reason I wanted to change our lifestyle, so they were not on board. It is so important that we take back our health and wellness. If I can inspire one person to make healthier choices, then my work is done.”
