Testimonials

info

Nico is the best! Her retreat was an incredible opportunity for our family to unite and get into our bodies at the same time. Kind, gentle, intuitive, emotionally attuned, caring; these are just some of the many words I'd use to describe Nico's approach to healing + movement. If that feels like what you need, Nico is the person for you :)

Cam Lindsay, USA

I journeyed with Nico's Soulstice group to the Kawok Forest in Guatemala last November. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! The setting was sublime, perched on a lush hillside overlooking Lake Atitlan and surrounding volcanoes, a mere 20-minute walk from the lively lakeside town of San Marcos. Nico knew how to create an experience full of meaning, nourishment, and gentle acceptance for everyone in the group. If you have the chance, don't miss the opportunity to experience one (or many) of Nico's retreats!

Kate Elliott, USA

Our retreat in Guatemala was a mixture of masterfully led yoga, delicious food, beautiful setting (I think often of the views from the bathroom and shower ◡̈ ), wonderful company and swimming in a pristine lake, topped off with a little cliff diving! I also love taking Nico’s classes in Bozeman. I miss them when I’m out of town.
