Bio
Nikki is a trauma informed, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and Yoga Teacher specializing in digestive health, stress management, and mindfulness.
Her healing journey began at a very young age after a severe motor vehicle accident landed her in hospital. After a multitude of surgeries, she devoted most of her teens focusing on her physical and mental rehabilitation, first relearning how to walk and later navigating terrible digestive issues. Feeling inspired and motivated to understand her recovery she enrolled in an undergraduate degree in Integrative Science at the University of Toronto. However, after a semester abroad, she discovered a whole new form of nourishment which led her to focus one of her majors to Marine Biology. Intrigued by the ocean and its ability to heal, she moved to Australia after graduating and began a career in ocean conservation.
Over 10 years of working with various species and colleagues along the Great Barrier Reef, she acknowledged the importance of co-healing with the planet and the unfortunate widespread disconnect between people and the planet. “If we do not connect to our planet, we miss a vital connection to ourselves”. She began an inward journey and started her yogic studies in Byron Bay, Australia and continued to travel the globe acquiring alternative healing modalities. She trained in Thai yoga massage as well as yoga therapeutics while in south east Asia and upon her return to Toronto she enrolled and completed a diploma in Holistic Nutrition, at CSNN. Witnessing the extreme burnout and frustration in marine conservation she applied her collective knowledge helping students, volunteers and activists reduce anxiety and stress, through diet and movement. More recently she’s expanded her clientele, encouraging physical, mental and emotional balance to the broader community through nourishment coaching.
Throughout her personal healing journey Nikki has built strength and resilience, reset her digestive health, improved her overall mobility and found ease within her body and mind through mindfulness, which continues to nurture her daily.
Nikki is very excited to add her services to the Antidote Wellness team and looks forward to helping you on your path to health.
Nikki’s nourishment practice combines ancient wisdom taught by Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda with Evidence based research. She views nourishment as a symbiotic process; working with the universal elements has become an essential component to understanding ones’ self and thus ones’ healing. She thrives off uncovering root causes, knowing her own battles to unfold her discomforts. Nikki’s clients have referred to her as “compassionate and wise”, “creates a safe space to connect”, and “empower their growth through knowledge and intuition”. Nikki encourages cultivating a unique healing container for each client with a multi-disciplinary and trauma informed approach. Nikki’s regular practices include meditation, mindful movement, intuitive eating, nature, cottaging, hiking, SUPboarding, experimenting in the kitchen and enjoying time with her family.
