Hi, I’m

Nicole! 

Helping YOU stay FREE

I am a yoga and meditation teacher, sound healer and change maker passionate about using the 8 limbs of yoga, sound and other life enhancing tools to help people rise to their full potential. When this happens, I believe that all living things, including this planet will benefit.

Music and movement have been my passions for as far back as I can remember. Growing up in San Francisco as a dancer, gymnast and musician I spent my free time creating choreography, playlists and playing keyboard, organ, flute and saxophone. I eventually took on the band assistant role in school and performed warm up duties, along with teaching newer students how to read music and play instruments in private sessions. 

From an early age, I also felt drawn to international travel, other cultures, environmental & wildlife issues, sustainability, activism, spirituality, movement and yoga. These interests led me to Sydney, Australia where I worked as a program manager for New South Wales' premier litter reduction and environmental sustainability nonprofit and eventually participated in my first 200hr yoga teacher training.

I had already been practicing and studying yoga on my own since 2005, but it was this training and diving deeper into yoga philosophy, history and the energetic side of the practice that solidified my career change to teaching. A couple months later, I decided to continue my studies in Bali, Indonesia and participated in a Tantric Hatha 300hr advanced training and stayed longer to continue learning and practicing as many styles as I could, with as many teachers I could find. 

It was in these countries, where I began to explore the soul nourishing aspects of kirtans, sound baths and often practiced with teachers playing live music during classes. This is when I realized I could combine my passions of yoga and music with the intention to help people regulate their nervous systems and experience deep cellular relaxation, which I had found extremely beneficial in my own healing journey. 

All of these experiences were instrumental in solidifying my purpose and passions of global service and helped me find my voice as a leader. Now I'm using that voice and various self-care tools to help others RISE physically, mentally and emotionally, with a long term vision of sharing yoga philosophy, the 8 Limbs of Yoga and sound healing with a global audience.

I now teach primarily yin yoga, sound healing and meditation classes, and host public and private sound baths, events, and wellness retreats with other musicians, healers and organizations that are on a mission to make this world a better place. My goal… that you feel better, enhance your life, and learn that this is a domino effect, bringing us and the universe back to our core vibrational essence of love. 

HOW CAN I...
