Welcome!
I love helping people to slow down and decompress.
After doing massage for 30 years, I still enjoy slowing down, honoring the healing spirits, and helping my clients to release tension.
In our fast paced society massage is a blessing that helps us go within to our own peaceful place to become more aware of our body's needs.

Hello friends,
Welcome to September!
So many S words that resonate with me.....all of which I seek: Stability, Safety, Serenity, Solitude, Self-empowerment, Strength....What do you seek right now?
My upcoming Yoga for the Chakra series could help to clarify your growth edge and to discover new ways to balance your body and mind. If Thursday evenings don't work for you, I have 7 videos from last year available to purchase or you can find information on the Chakras all over the internet and in many books.
In Sanskrit Chakra means ‘wheel’ or ‘circle of movement’. There are seven main Chakras or Energy Centers in the human body. They can be thought of as junction points between consciousness and physiology. Yoga is one of the ways to keep the Chakras balanced and help you find the wisdom you seek.
According to AI, the deep meaning of the number seven revolves around concepts of completion, perfection, spiritual wisdom and the search for truth. In the Bible, it signifies divine completion and rest, exemplified by the seventh day of creation. In numerology and spiritual contexts, it represents the seeker, the intellectual, and the path to enlightenment, often requiring introspection and a desire for deeper connections.
Here is the schedule and basic concept for each class in the series:
9/18 Root Chakra:
Focus on Feet, Legs, Pelvic Floor and Tailbone area to help you feel Peaceful, Protected and Secure; COURAGE
9/25 Sacral Chakra:
Focus on Hips, Lower Back and Reproductive Organs to nurture Abundance, Pleasure and Joy; CREATIVITY
10/2 Solar Plexus Chakra:
Focus on Abdominals, Middle Back and Digestive Balancing to create Self-Confidence and Motivation; POWER
10/9 Heart Chakra:
Focus on Chest, Upper Back, Shoulders and Arms for promoting the flow of Love, Acceptance and Compassion; LOVE
10/16 Throat Chakra:
Focus on the Neck, Jaw and Base of Skull to cultivate better Listening and Speaking your Truth; EXPRESSION
10/23 Third Eye Chakra:
Focus on the Forehead and Temples and Blindfolded Yoga to invite Clairvoyance and expanded Imagination; INTUITION
10/30 Crown Chakra and Review
Focus on Expansion and Meditation to promote Spiritual Connection to Self, Others and the Divine; WISDOM
Love, Niki

"You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind. It is not a thing that crawls into the sun for warmth or digs holes into darkness for safety, but a thing free, a spirit that envelops the earth and moves in the ether. If these be vague words, then seek not to clear them. Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end."
-Kahlil Gibran

"Listen with ears of tolerance.
See through eyes of compassion.
Speak with the language of love."
-Rumi
Anything that is not love
is only a visitor to your body.
You are not anxious
stress is simply flowing through you.
You are not permanently depressed,
sadness is simply visiting you.
You are not lost,
confusion is simply wandering within you.
And you are not broken,
pain is simply passing through you.
-Tahlia Hunter
Inspired by Rumi's poem "This being human is a guesthouse"
