Testimonials

“Working with Nico opened a portal to a deep remembering. Nico’s ability to hold space is like few I’ve seen. Her work is for anyone seeking a stronger alignment with self, spirit, earth. I am eternally grateful to Nico and the teaching of this deep wisdom.”
- Sophia Calvi, Director of Programs, Franklin Environmental Center, Middlebury College

“Working with Nico feels like Being held. With grace, clarity and a great deal of wit, Nico brings to bear the magic and medicine of her own full lived and ever-honing intuitive knowing. I feel seen in my own power. I feel courted into the places of relatedness I do not know, with fierceness, honesty, and wild breathing imagination.”
- Hannah Abrams, student of Dance 

“Nico introduced me to the wisdom of the dark in a way I had never experienced, ushering me into a communal space of warmth within the depth of the unknown. Learning with her, I felt no doubt that there is magic within and around us all, within liminal spaces we can greet through embodiment, surrender, and practice. In a moment in time in the world where light seems to be upheld as supreme, Nico’s work is soothing medicine. It is like the water of a moonlit river welcoming us, in the quiet of ourselves, back to each other.”
-Liv, Student of Dance and Environmentalism

“Nico humbly captures the essence of the creative muse and beyond.  As an artist, working both individually and in group process with Nico as a mentor has provided me with the support to draw on my authentic intuition to truly believe in the power of my art.  Nico has provided me the opportunity to expand my palette and explore parts of myself, the worlds and my creativity that have influenced my art-making journey in unexpected ways. Working with Nico has provided me a compass to understand and embody my art in ways that span beyond the languages of knowing. This experience with Nico has been inspiring and meaningful and has nourished and continues to nourish my creative spirit.”

“The mentoring program was tailored to fit my individual needs. The sessions are authentic and inspirational. It is a challenge to find a teacher with such broad experience and Nico is a gifted and talented mentor. She is compassionate, understanding, and an extremely knowledgeable guide. Our sessions took my learning to an entirely different level, and I am forever grateful.”

“This work is much needed for navigating complex times of transformation and transition, death and rebirth. Nico's facilitating of the work is as gentle and safe as it is deep and empowering. I highly recommend taking this dive with her, no matter where you are on your spiritual path. Expect to connect with practices that feel simple and transporting, and women who will refresh your spirit and remember your roots all at once.”
-Elena Greenlee, Facilitator, Director, Writer, Tarot & Astrology

“The healing work I entrusted Nico with has been nothing short of transformative. I came to her during a time of uncertainty and confusion; I felt a shift after just one treatment/session. With gentle yet powerful guidance, wisdom and a bouquet of healing modalities/techniques, Nico helped me to remember and re-integrate parts of myself I had forgotten ever existed. The work we did together was deep, heavy, and at times out of my current knowing/understanding; Nico guided me gently through it each step of the way. I am forever grateful that I turned to Nico and trusted her with this important work. I have never felt more held or understood. My life changed in ways I never could have imagined.”

“I was very struck by Nico’s calming, nurturing, intuitive and disciplined abilities from the moment I sat down until our big hug goodbye. She emanates a certain strength, composed of a trained union of mind, body and spirit that is immediately evident and is amazingly connected but incredibly grounded at the same time. I felt that there is every indication that, in the words of Permaculturist David Jacke, she is a truly "cultivated human being". The healing session put me into another world- by the end, I had drifted so far into an indescribable ocean of peace that it took several moments for me to come out of it and respond to Nico. In addition to the healing work, her lifestyle suggestions for additions and subtractions to my diet have eliminated chronic acid reflux and dramatically improved the health of my skin. Nico is a rare gem, a true healer that understands the present and urgently important and sacred role of the power of the female and with a quiet grace she lovingly incorporates it into every word and action.
