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 June 2025! JUST be here now! Whether you are happy, sad, excited or grieving....honor your feelings.
It's no fun to be stuck in confusion, but sometimes we need to JUST honor the mystery and trust that things will change, and clarity eventually comes, and it's ok to not have all the answers. Like Kahlil Gibran said "vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end." Take time to hibernate when confused. Honor your feelings, but also learn to evaluate different possible actions. When inspiration comes and we decide to be determined THEN we can JUST do it!
The powerful combo of stillness, emotion, and logic can be a path towards action with sensible risk-taking! Easier said than done to find this sweet spot of self-love, self-trust, self-empowerment, teamwork, and compromise (all of which are important). My growth edge is the use of logic and evaluating different possible ideas....we're all works in progress right?!
My Mom and sister will be giving a talk at the Creativity and Madness Conference August 2nd in Santa Fe and it's called Forgiveness and Resilience in Challenging Times. Attendance can be in person or virtually and there are lots of other interesting presentations. Check out the link above! For 10% off registration, use the codes, MEGAN2025 or GAIL2025
I do believe that regular exercise and movement of our bodies can lead to inspiration and counteract depression. Check out my YouTube channel or one of my weekly Yoga classes for some different movement ideas. Walk around in the fresh air. Dance in your own way to your favorite music.
This is the perfect time to register for my 2026 Yoga Retreat ! In the sleepy little town of Troncones, Mexico right on the beach next March. Always a healing and joyful experience.
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"
