"I have searched a majority of the country trying to find the best teachers of consciousness and connection. Nikki is leading from the front in this field, bringing the truth right to the people that need it the most and doing it in a way that accepts all without judgement, in a way that makes it all ok to be who you really are or to express parts of us we have pushed down as others judge us on them. Nikki is a true example of bravery and courageousness in a world where people have lost all meaning to those words. She is a shinning star of light to guide people out of their own darkness and suffering."
