I’m Nikki
As an intuitive empath, I’ve spent much of my life learning to manage my sensitivities and emotions. My early adult years were characterized by the idea of “go big or go home.” I used exercise as a way to avoid feeling. I avoided myself. I wore busy-ness as a badge of honor and chaos was my way of life. Anxiety plagued me for most of my teens and 20’s.
Then I suffered a debilitating low back injury that brought everything I had previously known about well-being to a screeching halt.
My injuries slowed me way down, and I had two young children to keep up with. I desperately needed a new path. This is when I began my exploration of yoga.
Yoga not only transformed my ideas about pathways toward physical well-being, but created a gentle expansion of my personal mind-body-soul and relational awareness. I learned to control the chaos and found a path to peace and stillness within.
Now, I have the lovely privilege of supporting others on their healing journey.

“Nikki is a light, she is a guide. She sees parts of me that I suffer from and she can draw them out and put them in the light so I can see it too. She is much more than a life coach. Through her I feel seen, heard and loved just as I am in all of my human condition. She gives me permission to be where I am, without judgement. “ ~Michele
