PACEs Coalition Virtual Meeting

Meet the Speaker: Nicole Walton, RN, BSN

​Nicole is the Founder of Monarch 61 Project and the visionary behind OASIS: The Emotional Health Conference for Professionals. Her work centers on helping women and caring professionals reclaim their voice, identity, and emotional authenticity after trauma. With over 7 years of experience as a forensic nurse, Nicole has walked closely with survivors in some of their most vulnerable moments. In addition to her clinical work, she spent more than a decade traveling, researching, and learning from organizations serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and trafficking, gaining deep insight into both crisis response and the long-term gaps in restorative care. Nicole holds a business degree and a Bachelor of Science in nursing, bringing both strategic leadership and trauma-informed clinical expertise to her work. As a survivor herself, she understands the complex layers of shame, guilt, and disconnection that often follow trauma. She also understands the power of restoration.
