Hi, I am Nicolle…

I grew up a small-town girl, with big-city dreams…I have always been a seeker of truth, an explorer and a traveller, inspired by this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.

I don’t know about you, but for most of my life I have been an ‘all or nothing kind of girl’, so if something caught my interest I jumped right into it and it was no different with yoga. Within a year after taking my first yoga class, I quit my job and ventured to Maui for my first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

I know, perfect escape plan, I hear ya 🤘.

Life is never straightforward, it throws its challenges at us, and like many other people, I found myself going through a dark period of my life.

Anxiety and depression weren’t new to me, I had been struggling with it most of my life, but the loss of both of my parents within less than two years completely shook up my world and threw me back into major depression followed by burnout.

In yoga, I found an outlet for depression, anxiety, and grief. Through regular practice, I learned to ground myself, let go of fear, embrace trust, and connect with the healing power of my heart.

It’s been a pretty wild rollercoaster of emotions and there were definitely more downs than ups to start with, but each time I stepped on the mat, it felt like I was coming closer to ‘home’.

Yoga offered me a gateway to my emotions and along this journey of self-discovery, I found my truth and the key to living a more authentic life, which is led by the heart rather than the mind.

I never really thought I belonged in this world until I ‘met’ yoga and the community that came with it.

Another passion next to yoga is writing. I don’t know how many years I have been telling my friends that I would LOVE to start a blog…and a few years ago, I finally made it happen.

I truly believe in the power of sharing. On my blog, I talk about yoga, holistic well-being tips and transformative personal growth strategies such as shadow work exercises, journaling tips, affirmations, etc. which all helped me along my self-discovery and healing journey. Let’s start talking and join me on the blog.

Thank you so much for being part of my journey, it means a lot.

Stay wild,

Nicolle
