Dr. Noelle Nielsen
Associate Unity Minister

Rev. Noelle came to Miami after retiring as an Ob/Gyn physician from a successful medical practice in Upstate New York. For more than thirty years, she took care of women, delivered their babies and listened to their stories. After moving to Miami, Rev. Noelle found Unity on the Bay in 2016 and began taking Absolute Abundance and Unity’s core classes. She recognized that while she enjoyed spending time on the beach there was more for her to do to be of service in this lifetime. This idea inspired Rev. Noelle’s call to ministry with the intent to serve as a hospital chaplain. Spirit had other ideas and led her to accepting a position as Associate Minister here at Unity on the Bay where she is able to serve in new and exciting ways.

Prior to her assuming the role of Associate Minister, Rev. Noelle served as a Spirit Group co-leader, Meditation Facilitator, Prayer Chaplain and Chair of the Prayer Ministry and Hospital Visitation Team. She also taught classes as part of her Ministerial Internship at Unity on the Bay. Rev. Noelle graduated from Unity Worldwide Spiritual Institute and was ordained in Unity Village in June 2024 where she was asked to speak as part of the ceremony. In her leisure time, she enjoys paddling on the waters around Miami and beyond, biking, swimming and visiting with friends.

Rev. Noelle has experienced the Unity teachings as a path to healing and wholeness that has expanded upon other traditions and lead her to greater understanding and peace. She envisions a world where each person experiences Oneness with their Creator, with each other and with every living thing.
