NICOLE’S Journey

“The journey of my life has taken me through ​the path of the body – this beautiful vessel we ​all have.

The body is the bridge between our thoughts ​and our infinite creations, and when we know ​how to tap into our power, we become ​limitless.

I was always a very rational thinker – I loved ​Maths and all the sciences – the things that ​made sense and were black and white!

I became a photographer, then a pilot, and ​then I actually wanted to study Architecture ​but somehow found myself drawn to studying ​Osteopathy ~ without ever having met an ​Osteopath in my life!

As I thoroughly studied the science of ​Osteopath and the body, and as I treated more ​and more patients with ‘psychosomatic’ ​symptoms, I became more and more ​motivated to understand the energy running ​through us, and the Source of human Life.

I was very motivated to actually find the ​cause… not just treating symptoms.

Going to India to do my Kundalini yoga ​teacher training was another one of those ​events, much like studying Osteopathy.

It just HAD TO BE DONE!

I didn’t know why at the time. But it was ​through the ancient wisdoms left behind by ​the Yogis, The Egyptians, The Buddhists.

I have been blessed to come to my personal ​understanding of the connection between ​the body and the subtle forces of nature.

Slowly but surely,

I have come to understand the meaning ​behind the words often written in riddles ​and analogies.

Through this journey I have read ​thousands of books, but in the end; ​tapping into my body, and to the earth, ​has taught me most of the what I know.

I started Nature Medicine Retreats as a ​way to have more time with my beautiful ​patients – for a deeper understanding of ​your body to unfold.

This awareness allows you to become ​your own healer.

Every day I tune in and find alignment ​within my body and around me ~ and this ​is what I hope to share with you.

One of the best ways to share the feeling ​of balance & alignment, is to come ​together in a harmonious way - and that ​is the beauty of coming on retreat.

• Our journeys delve into the exquisite world of the body, where thoughts meet creation, ​and we unlock boundless potential. Our founder, a dedicated yogini and holistic osteopath, ​will share her knowledge about the body, allowing you to find alignment.

• As individuals navigating the tapestry of life, we constantly seek grace in harmony with ​nature. We embrace a life filled with joy and love, and our founder is here to share the ​powerful reminder that surrendering to life's magic is all it takes.

• Experience the magic of connection in our harmonious groups ~ and immerse yourself in ​the joy, love & unity that await you at Nature Medicine Retreats.

• Let this be the invitation to your soulful journey, as you explore the wonders of well-being ​and self-discovery, hand in hand with your personal guide. Join us in Sri Lanka and allow ​your spirit to shine brighter than ever before.

What to Expect in our Journeys

• Both editions of our retreat offer a unique opportunity to rejuvenate your body, mind, and ​spirit.

• In Edition 1, embark on a journey through the body, focusing on understanding and ​purifying the physical vessel.
  

• In Edition 2, explore the breath and movement practices that awaken the limitless potential ​within you.
