I entered my 3-day retreat after living for years with the weight of functional freeze—going through the motions of life but feeling disconnected and stuck inside. From the very first breathwork session, I felt myself begin to melt in a way I hadn’t experienced in years. It was as if my body and spirit finally exhaled.

My event was deeply centered on emotional wellness and healing.  It was filled with practices to release tension, manage anxiety, and reconnect with myself on a profound level. What surprised me most, though, was the incredible sense of connection I felt with the other women there. As an introvert, I typically prefer to do my own thing and enjoy my solitude, but not in this setting.  Nothing was ever forced—participation in all activities was always optional—and Nikki created an environment where each of us felt completely safe to go as deep as we wanted or retreat inward if that’s what we needed. That freedom allowed real trust and community to form, and I left feeling both supported and understood in a way I hadn’t realized I was missing.

On top of the healing work, Nikki showered us with thoughtful touches that made the experience feel so nurturing. From meaningful gifts and beautiful surprises to moments of pure pampering and acts of service, every detail came from a place of genuine love and care. It wasn’t just a retreat—it felt like being held, body and soul.

I used to wonder if a retreat like this could really be worth the cost. Now, after having experienced it, I can honestly say I would have paid double. The shift I felt is priceless: I left with a new perspective on life, a renewed sense of joy, and a deep remembrance of my own worth. If you are even considering attending, know that this is not just an event—it is an investment in your healing, your well-being, and your soul.

Have you ever felt like your life was spiraling out of control, couldn’t figure out why you felt like you did, unable to find answers with traditional medicine. Never done yoga before, no idea what sound bath means or even participate in a grounding exercise. I highly encourage you to attend one of Nikki’s classes. I did not know what I needed but I knew it was something so I googled women’s retreats in KCMO and Nikki came up. I read her story, kinda sounded familiar then I saw where she was having a retreat not far from my home (bonus). I signed up.

Nikki has the most warm soul. We were greeted with hugs and let me take your bags out at the drive. Never met her face to face, but it was like we had been friends for years.

I was shown to my beautiful room where a personal note was waiting for me along with the weekends agenda. I was then introduced to other guests, and encouraged to get a beverage and a snack.  

This retreat was a sampling of things that had helped Nikki with her journey and she was giving us access to them so we could see what would resonate with us.​

I came to this retreat broken.

I left feeling peace, calm, and a toolbox full of resources to help me, and one answer as to why I felt broken, and a 5 week journaling exercise, and phone numbers I can call. Essential oils with purpose. 2 types of journals to write in. Tissue boxes every where and you never knew when you would need them. The downstairs was set-up beautifully with candles, yoga mats, bolsters, meditation pillows and blankets. Did I say blankets amazing!! Doing meditation and being safe and secure with 2 blankets on you. If you are unsure why you are struggling or you feel like the physical ailments just keep piling up and you don’t want another pill, I highly encourage you to reach out to Nikki or sign up for one of her classes, circles, retreats you will not be disappointed. Nikki is a women of God willing to be used as a vessel by him to bring health/peace/resources to women like me that are wandering in the desert and can’t find our way out!!!

Words really can’t describe the experience and transformation this retreat created.
