Nikki is a trauma informed, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and Yoga Teacher specializing in digestive health, stress management, and mindfulness.
Her healing journey began at a very young age after a severe motor vehicle accident landed her in hospital. After a multitude of surgeries, she devoted most of her teens focusing on her physical and mental rehabilitation, first relearning how to walk and later navigating terrible digestive issues. Feeling inspired and motivated to understand her recovery she enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Integrative Science at the University of Toronto. However, after a semester abroad, she discovered a whole new form of nourishment which led her to focus one of her majors to Marine Biology. Intrigued by the ocean and its ability to heal, she moved to Australia after graduating and began a career in ocean conservation.
Over 10 years of working with various species and colleagues along the Great Barrier Reef, she acknowledged the importance of co-healing with the planet and the unfortunate widespread disconnect between people and the planet. “If we do not connect to our planet, we miss a vital connection to ourselves”. She began an inward journey and started her yogic studies in Byron Bay, Australia and continued to travel the globe acquiring alternative healing modalities. She trained in Thai yoga massage as well as yoga therapeutics while in south east Asia and upon her return to Toronto she enrolled and completed a diploma in Holistic Nutrition, at CSNN. Witnessing the extreme burnout and frustration in marine conservation she applied her collective knowledge helping students, volunteers and activists reduce anxiety and stress, through diet and movement. More recently she’s expanded her clientele, encouraging physical, mental and emotional balance to the broader community through nourishment coaching.
