Nikki provides a bridge of medical professional experience. Add that to her compassion, desire to help, and intuition and the result is holistic healing. Having spent many years between in-patient and out-patient care, it is evident that ailments, lack of joy and dis-ease arise when things are out-of-balance. Nikki has been down a personal journey of self healing using alternative modalities that continue to take commitment, time and effort; not all progress is immediate, but it is all worth it. Nikki’s goal is to help clients identify the root cause, work through barriers known or unknown, and to set personalized and attainable goals along side her clients. Nikki believes that each person is innately whole with the ability to find healing and happiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>Licenses\/Certifications:<\/p>
