ABOUT

A truth seeker, inquisitive thinker and curious spirit, Nicole has traversed cultures accumulating experiential and theoretical insights about meaning, purpose, spirituality and healing.  

 

She is a certified Clinical Therapeutic Sound Practitioner, Spiritual Care Practitioner/Guide, Reiki Master,  End-of-Life Doula and trained in Mexican Folk Healing. She serves through compassionate presence, empowering people to engage with their innate drive towards self-actualisation, inspiring re-connection to the true self (inner child). A variety of methods are used to guide this process: therapeutic sound, reiki, rituals, therapeutic conversation, metaphor and contemplative practices. 

 

A deep and empathic listener, Nicole is known for her ability to journey with her clients into the dark places and hold a safe space for healing to occur. She has a particular interest in serving those enquiring as to life's purpose, seeking deeper meaning and who are ready and committed towards change.

 

Nicole has worked with a diverse cross section of clients including people experiencing: ​

  • Dissatisfaction towards life

  • Addiction

  • Traumatic pasts

  • Emotional dysregulation

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Fear of death/End of life diagnoses

  • Grief and carer fatigue

  • Illness and hospitalisation

  • Spiritual lack and disconnection.

Ever wondered what the science is behind a soundbath? Nicole gave an interview on ABC Radio National Australia about that exact topic, listen to it now: The science behind soundbaths (2023)

 

Curious to learn about Nicole's own spiritual, healing and life journey? Watch an interview with Nicole as she speaks on the topic of What does it mean to be spiritual? (2020).  

Nicole has established herself as a leader in her work through time spent living, working and studying in India, Melbourne, New York City, Mexico, Italy and in solitude. She understands that in order for holistic healing to occur all facets of existence: physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual need to be honoured. This includes awareness of the interconnectivity of all beings and that relationships act as the laboratories for self-growth.

 

Of additional importance is the journey towards facing our mortality, a practice Nicole has done through spending extended time at hospices, morgues. crematoriums and observing the funerary rituals and cremation practices of different cultures. Through her work Nicole hopes to help guide and empower individuals towards finding their own powerful insights for self healing and towards leading more inspired, fulfilling, meaningful lives. ​
