1 ON 1 LIFE MENTORING
Schedule a session with Nichola to explore how we might work together. Through our mentoring sessions, I will listen actively to your stories and offer insights, guidance, and practices to support your life journey.
Though I am not a licensed therapist, my pastoral education and experiences as a spiritual and life mentor, have prepared me to support individuals and families in crisis and transitions.
Each of us is moving continually through stages and transitions of body, mind and spirit. It can be helpful to have a guide, a companion, a teacher to illuminate the path. You and I will create space to explore where you have been and where you are headed.
I will support you in your spiritual discernment, real-time life adjustments and fear busting. We can explore your growing edge and steps for living fully in this unprecedented time in history.
CONSCIOUS ELDERING CIRCLE
As mature spiritual seekers we have the opportunity and responsibility to step into the role of 'Elder' in our family, our community and in the wider global collective.
The Fragrance of JOY Alliance has called together a circle of women to support and inspire one another to live into this possibility. Conscious Eldering is three-pronged. We commit to cleaning up our own vrittis or tendencies which are no longer serving us, to stepping into our wisdom as we serve others and finally a dedication to environmental consciousness and sustainability.
As Elders we hold a wealth of wisdom and life experience, which can be invaluable for younger generations and the community at large. Embracing the role of an Elder means actively seeking opportunities to share this wisdom in everyday life.
Coming together in a circle of women to support and inspire one another in this journey can provide a nurturing and empowering environment for personal and collective growth. By supporting each other, sharing experiences, and celebrating the joys and challenges of conscious eldering, the impact of this movement can be amplified.
'Eldering', an embodying of wisdom, compassion, and a commitment to the greater good. If you wish to learn more about this Elder circle, please email.

She studied with sound masters Fabien Maman and Wolfgang Dienert. In her private practice she channels divine energies using gong chimes tuned to specific frequencies, monochords with healing overtones and tuning forks for releasing, balancing and harmonizing. Color essences and color silks are also used as part of the vibrational healing. After years of practicing Aura_soma, she created Color Soul Reading. In keeping with her passion for nature's healing, she is also an herbalist deeply attuned to the vibrations of plants, specializing in flower essences.
