About:
Nik, uses they | them | theirs pronouns, is white, queer and has been a healing practitioner since 2012 in both massage and movement based practices.  They have been practicing Esalen deep tissue mixed with craniosacral for the past 6 years in a studio in south Berkeley.


Nik studied conscious dance, Gestalt Awareness Practice and Esalen® Massage during a residency at the Esalen Institute from 2012-2014.  Since relocating to Berkeley / Oakland in 2014, Nik has continued on the path of (un)learning with a deeper connection to self-growth, social justice and community building. 

"Movement is where I understand the notion
of reaching an untouchable sense of Self."
