"I'm a work in progress, mosaic of a human being, seeking my greatest potential.
I hope you will join me!"

"As a child I learned that dance was my safe place, my fairy-tale land, to dive into myself, to escape and live out the magic of my mind. Dance transformed into a space to process emotions and feel the fullness of my humanness. Now I experience this dance as my place to witness. With a deep awareness I dance to create my everyday with an open heart.
Sharing these gifts is my greatest pleasure." ~Nik ~~~ 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 safe 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. 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. Most recent trainings include: Soul Motion Teacher Training, Interplay- Art and Social Change for Millennials, White Awake- 5 month series, Sacred Alchemy for Leaders, Queer Grief Ritual, Women Identified, Trans, Gender non-conforming - Meditation weekend with Arinna Wiseman, Process Work- Looking deeper at White Privilege and in March 2017 they will be participating in the Queer Yes!
