Hi, my name is Nicole (NicQi) Holistic Healer - Yoga, Tai Chi, Meditation, Breathwork and Mindfulness Coach

I grew up in Leonia, NJ right outside of New York City. Things that defined me as a child, teen and young adult were: being a gymnast, being smart and having a mental disorder.

I have practiced holistic eastern mindfulness training techniques including Korean, Chinese, Indian and Nepalese styles of yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, deep breathing and meditation for over 15 years through private coaching, training sessions, group classes, and corporate wellness, as well as coordinating and leading group retreats.

I have healed severe symptoms of stress-related illness through mindfulness practices. These symptoms included 15 years of insomnia, eating disorder, mood disorder and social phobias, as well as taking dozens of prescription medications (which I got off of after 3 years of the practice and has not taken for over a decade). I now devote my life's work and energy to helping other people strengthen their mind, body and spirit and reawaken their innate healing abilities. I would love to share more at public speaking engagements.

One of my favorite parts of my work is hands-on acupressure energy healing for alleviating pain and stiffness and providing deep relaxation and rejuvenation from various stress conditions. I also have a passion and expertise in energy and chakra healing, which promotes relaxation, releases repressed trauma and emotions, as well as elevates mood and connection to the infinite power of the Brain.

I love to guide people through personally tailored life coaching sessions that help them overcome life's biggest hurdles. I offer what many call “spiritual acupuncture”, or the art of finding the root causes/"points" of mental tension, thus healing the mind or consciousness through heightened awareness, focus, and simple, guided hypnosis.

I developed a fondness for sound healing, which clears negative energy from within and around the body, detoxes the cells and promotes deep and thorough nervous system regulation. I offer private and group sound healing sessions focusing on Himalayan Singing Bowls, Native American instruments, tongue drum, chimes and tuning forks, and the voice to aid in auric rejuvenation.

I have substantial experience with sales, public relations, community engagement and fundraising for corporate and nonprofit entities (please see my work and education experience below). My young adult life was spent getting hands-on experience with vital issues in human rights, food security and social justice in the US and abroad.

I am a trained singer with a love for jazz, folk, pop, opera, and R&B music, and am currently exploring the depth and breadth of my voice for its use in energy healing. My favorite hobbies are singing, dancing, drawing, modeling, spending time in nature, traveling and learning about different cultures. I am intermediate/conversational in Spanish.
