Hello! I'm Niki

My life’s work as an Spiritual Teacher and Personal Development Coach is to create a unique, powerful heart-centered healing community for people who are committed to spiritual growth, personal development, and reaching their full potential in this lifetime while inspiring others to do the same, demonstrating that it is possible to be successful, awake, happy and fulfilled, no matter what the personal history or circumstances. 

Welcome! 

Here’s a bit more about my teachings and our online Membership Portal

Our teachings stand out from others due to our unique comprehensive approach integrating advanced spiritual, metaphysical and Eastern religious teachings with energy healing, and Western cognitive evidence-based medical research on the impact of developmental trauma on human mental and physical health, along with research and science behind developmental models of human psychology and mind-body medicine.

We believe we bring much needed academic standards, fastidiousness and discipline to the fields of modern day spirituality and personal growth, and teach that “New Age” spirituality and the majority of personal development offerings in the West invite “spiritual bypass,” offer only partial truths, or are too superficial to address the real deep root causes of an epidemic of issues people have with mental and emotional healing, relationships, self awareness, abundance and spiritual awakening.

 

Our vision is to become one of the world’s largest communities of empowered, spiritually awakened, heart-centered, fulfilled people inspiring global wellbeing, stability and peace.

Before retraining as a functional mind-body health practitioner, I had a career in banking and finance in the City of London, where I successfully qualified as a chartered accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers

In 2003 I co-founded what became one of the largest mind-body health clinics in Europe focused on addressing chronic complex illness including fatigue, autoimmunity, stress, anxiety, depression and more, based on the work of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory. To this day, Ken Wilber is considered to be one of the greatest ever theoretical psychologists and has had an important influence on my work.

I bring practical insight and experience to all our teachings due to over two decades of working directly with over 10,000 people in one to one consultations focusing on mental and physical wellbeing and personal growth.

In 2009 the clinic I cofounded won the award for Outstanding Practice in the UK and I co-wrote the awards article in CAM Magazine, the leading national publication for natural health practitioners in the UK on Wilber’s integral approach to health, which was later adapted for publication in Wilber’s Journal of Integral Theory and Practice

In 2012 the results with the patients on the program we co-developed at the clinic for mind-body healing were published in British Medical Journal Open and I became a contributing editor at CAM Magazine for several years.

In 2015 I collaborated directly with Ken Wilber interviewing 30 world leading experts expounding on Wilber’s Integral approach to health and overcoming chronic fatigue on an online health summit reaching over 30,000 people world-wide.

I’ve since spoken on over 50 large healing summits reaching a million people worldwide on the impact of developmental trauma (early life stress) on mental and emotional health over a lifetime.

Later I co-hosted the largest ever summit online on emotional trauma and mind-body health in 2020 with over 185,000 attendees, interviewing 90 world-leading experts including Professor Bessel van der Kolk, the world’s leading expert on trauma, Dr Peter Levine, Professor Stephen Porges, Dr Joe Dispenza, Caroline Myss, Ross Rosenberg, Dr Laurence Heller, Dr Deitrich Klinghardt, Lynne McTaggart, Dr James Oschmann and Chief Scientific Officer of Heartmath, Dr Rollin Mcraty just to name a few. 

So, I hope you join our newsletter, we welcome you to try out our community at the Ascension Portal, and check out beautiful Skye Lodge.

Much love
