Nicole Dessoye’s passion for the connection between mind and body began as a dancer at an early age—a passion that blossomed into a professional dancing career in Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco, and then eventually lead to her founding a cutting-edge fitness and pilates studio – The Corner Studio – in San Francisco.

Always eager to diversify and progress her knowledge of the body, Nicole is Pilates, NASM Personal Training and Original Strength Training Certified.

Her unending quest to better her clients led to her acquiring a BFR (Blood-Flow Restriction) certification in 2024. This cutting-edge training method allows clients to make significant gains in muscle mass, strength, and endurance with lower resistance and less intensity. A game-changer for clients who have injuries, limitations or are heading into mid-life and beyond.

Through more than 25 years of teaching and training, Nicole has developed and refined a tailored approach to expanding the mind-body connection of her clients, allowing them to move better, feel stronger, and progress their mental approach to functional movement.
