Testimonials

info

I attended the two-day Vision Into Action retreat and it was truly a life-giving experience. Nicole is an incredible host, teacher, and healing guide. She created such a safe, intentional, and uplifting space. I left with powerful tools, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose that has deeply shifted my mindset and spirit as I step into 2026. This retreat was genuinely transformational for me. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. I am so grateful for this experience and will definitely be attending more of Nicole’s retreats.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Vision In Action retreat. Nicole’s warm and inviting spirit set the tone for a relaxing and safe space to do the work to reflect, unpack, release, and plan for the upcoming year. Great timing too, creating well thought out and developed actions plans vs new year’s resolutions. The supportive community formed amongst the attendees was a bonus.

This was more than I expected. Leaving with new motivations and confidence that I am on the right path in my healing.

C. Latimer, USA

I truly appreciated the opportunity to center myself in the space you created for our group. It was intimate enough to meaningfully reflect and plan the next steps toward what serves us. Nicole, you facilitated our time so that we could face ourselves while also inspiring us to focus on the possibilities ahead. The weekend was a great investment of my time, treasure and energy. Thank you!
