Nicole Charland, Registered Nurse
Nicole Charland graduated from nursing school in 1992 in London, Ontario, and has since dedicated her career to caring for others. In 2013, she was diagnosed with right-hand dystonia, a condition that significantly impacted her daily life. After undergoing treatment with botulinum toxin injections, Nicole began working with Dr. Farias in 2014 and experienced immediate and significant improvements. Thanks to his methods, she no longer required botulinum toxin injections and regained a greater sense of control over her life.
Having personally navigated the challenges that dystonia can bring, Nicole deeply understands how it can affect every aspect of daily living. This unique perspective fuels her passion as a patient advocate. She is committed to supporting others on their journey with dystonia, offering compassion, guidance, and a wealth of lived experience.
Nicole is a compassionate and highly experienced Registered Nurse and Nurse Consultant with over 30 years in healthcare. She has expertise in workplace safety, occupational health, and patient advocacy, coupled with a deep understanding of living with and overcoming dystonia. Nicole is passionate about providing empathetic care and supporting individuals in managing complex health challenges.
If you have questions about the program or need advice on managing life with dystonia, Nicole is here to help.
