Hi! Welcome to BodyCuriosity!
My name is Nik~ I use they/them/theirs pronouns, I'm a partner, a sibling, a friend, an activist and practitioner for wellness on individual/interpersonal/systemic levels, a dancer, a facilitator, white, queer, non-disabled, moderately chemically sensitive, a gender expansive being, a person who enjoys laughter, connecting deeply in conversation, in love with my cat Luna of 10 years, a learner of new things, an artist, a bit of an introvert with extrovert tendencies, a connector, a heart relater, an explorer and a curious being! ~~~ What do you mean ~ Gender Expansive/Pronouns? ~~~ As a conscious movement facilitator and massage therapist, teaching a weekly Soul Motion™ class in Oakland as well as serving clients in their thriving massage practice in Berkeley, Nik, is an expert at guiding folks into a deeper connection with their body. They support participants of the Soul Motion community and massage clients to learn to receive physical and energetic connection that is both grounding and healing. Nik has a BA in Art Studio (photography) and Sociology from UC Santa Barbara. With a keen eye to see a room and their studies of human relationships and patterns, Nik's greatest passion is to connect and create spaciousness for you to feel more of you.
