hi, Iā€™m Nicky!

A dreamer, traveller, embodied yoga teacher, baby waves surfer and rollerskater.

My mission is to guide you back to your most authentic self. That part of you that you might felt you lost in this journey of life. Being a Human Design projecter it comes naturally to me to see you as the unique and beautiful person you are, and helping you to see this in yourself too.

I create a safe space for you to allow yourself to embrace all your emotions, feel all your feelings, balance your energies, and help you to dive deeper into self-awareness. Helping you to find the joy back in your life again, and find magic in each day.

I found my way to yoga about 10 years ago in my early twenties in my trauma healing journey. I struggled with many years of ptsd, depression, anxiety, shame, low self-esteem, overthinking, self-medicating with alcohol and drugs, insomnia, and not feeling safe in my body and the world.

Therapy did help me to understand my problems better, but my body was still in a constant ''fight-and-flight mode''. Yoga taught me to get out of this, and be able to relax again. Understanding that life is not working against me, but in favour for me. It taught me to calm down my nervous system, allow and accept all my emotions, and release memories and stress that were deeply stored in my body and subconcious mind.

It taught me how to balance and protect my energies - but mostly, yoga helped me to find the joy back in life, love myself, set boundaries and follow my dreams.

One of those dreams is to show you that your life can change too. What happened to you, or how you are currently feeling doesn't have to define your life. Even though it might not feel like this now, life doesn't have to be overwhelming all the time. You don't have to feel tired all the time, and you are worthy of making your dreams a reality.

I know you have the power to embody and accept your most authentic self too. It would be my honour to guide you on your journey of self-discovery by guiding you through yoga and mindfulness practices that helped me in the past 10 years to become the person I am, and love a lot these days.

With love,

Nicky
