Nicol is a lifelong intuitive and reiki master certified under renowned reiki master and meditation teacher Kelsey J. Patel. Nicol first began receiving reiki in high school after suffering from debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, and she later found healing with reiki in her early 20’s following chronic ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breast disease, hormone imbalance, burnout, and other mental and physical health issues. After experiencing profound healing from reiki and other forms of alternative therapy first hand, Nicol became inspired to facilitate this healing and help others become healed, activated, and empowered in their own lives. Nicol’s deepest desire is that each soul mate client transcends their deepest wounds and traumas, activates the dormant power within them, and goes forth living a life of health, happiness, abundance, and fulfillment.

Nicol currently offers 1 hour remote or in-person sessions in Paso Robles, California. She’s also available for private group reiki events and circles.
