Nicole Colella is quite literally in the business of energy. As an advocate for holistic wellness, she often describes herself as a human tuning fork.
For Colella, it’s all about the vibrations people put out into the world.
“If you have two tuning forks, the other one will ring and match the frequency and vibration of the first,” she explained. "The practitioner sets the vibratory tone so that the body remembers. That tune is where you do the work.”
At her core, Colella’s role is to understand her clients’ energy and adjust accordingly. Once she connects with their experiences and challenges, she determines what needs to be addressed to clear a path forward.
She grounds her explanation in simple science. “We’re all made up of atoms,” Colella said. “Energy innately flows out of all of us. When we emote, we’re exuding energy. Hugging someone is sharing energy.”
That sensitivity to energy has always been with her, though she discovered its depth after the passing of her father, a moment that awakened her intuition and inspired her to explore it further. She enrolled in a metaphysical and divination school.
“They told me I had the potential to help a lot of people,” she recalled. “That’s kind of how it got started. The universe dragged me by the hair, kicking and screaming.”
Today, Colella is the founder and owner of SpiritHealer Wellness in Randolph, where she offers both in-person and virtual sessions, as well as space for other practitioners who specialize in complementary modalities. Each month brings a thoughtfully curated schedule of wellness events, such as guided meditation, specialty workshops and lectures, as well as networking opportunities.
Originally founded as CardShaper in 2022, the business evolved into SpiritHealer Wellness, officially launching under its new name in June 2025. Today, SpiritHealer Wellness serves as a haven for holistic practices ranging from Reiki to Tarot and more. After years in practice, Colella believes that complete restoration is a conscious decision and provides the tools to help clients recalibrate mind, body, and spirit.
“It’s not me doing all the work,” she emphasized. “There’s active participation on the client’s part.”
Her approach includes using her skills as a life coach to integrate the mind–body connection for deeper emotional understanding.
A lifelong New Jerseyan and Montclair State University graduate, Colella’s story is rooted in self-made ambition and deep local pride. Born and raised in the Garden State, she and her family have lived throughout Central and Northern New Jersey before settling in Randolph in 2018, where she established her practice and continues to grow it today.
Before opening her own wellness practice, Colella worked in the fashion industry and later ran her own photography studio. During the pandemic, she even self-published a crochet book and a business guidebook—a true testament to her entrepreneurial spirit.
Her work now blends multiple modalities, tailored to each client’s needs.
Over time, Colella developed her own namesake modality, The Colella Method, a customized blend of the tools and techniques she has mastered over the years.
“It’s a way to bring the body back to harmony.”
Her sessions extend beyond individuals to include families, children, and even animals. “I want to be able to reach everyone and be inclusive,” she shared.
Colella also prioritizes care for the caregivers. Every other month, she hosts a "holistic networking dinner,” inviting fellow practitioners to share a meal, recharge, and reconnect. “It’s a time for us to come together and nourish ourselves,” she explained.
While helping others is inevitably her calling, Colella’s family keeps her grounded. She lives with her husband, Ken, a CPA, and their son Michael, while still staying close to her daughter Dionna, a pre-med student. “It’s a lot for them to wrap their heads around,” she admitted with a smile, “but they’re behind me.”
SpiritHealer Wellness is located at 10 West Hanover Avenue, Suite 107 in Randolph.
