Ketamine is a safe, legal, and highly effective psychedelic medicine being used to treat depression, trauma, anxiety and addiction.

Dissociation is a sense of disconnection from one’s ordinary reality and sense of self.

At the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness, Nicole and her colleagues, use a sub-anesthetic dose to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness (NOSC) which leads to psychedelic and euphoric effects. Ketamine is proving successful in providing symptom relief for depression, traumatic stress, anxiety, and other mental health conditions when administered in conjunction with professional support and guidance

Music Therapy is an expressive therapy modality that addresses the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals by creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, clients' abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people's motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings.

Kundalini yoga derives from kundalini, defined in Vedantic culture as energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated and channeled upward through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection. Kundalini is believed by adherents to be power associated with the divine feminine. As we engage in the wisdom of these ancient teachings, we learn to establish endurance, subtlety, stillness, frequency and radiant presence to stay strong in the face of suffering. Yogic philosophy gives us an understanding of the source of dis-ease and the pathway of health as a form of self-discovery. Common themes that Nicole works with: Developing Intuition, Peri-Menopause/Menopause Education for Self Care, Clearing out Your Auric field & Arcline, and learning techniques and tools to help Empath’s maintain health and vitality.

Many of us on a spiritual path have discovered that ascending from our bodies has not worked well for us, but descending into the ground of being in our bodies has brought us deep joy, presence, and aliveness. This is the gift women receive when sitting together with Kundalini yoga at the heart of our circle.

When a woman moves beyond her stressed state of feeling overloaded and burnt out, she thrives. Her health improves, her hormones balance, her clarity of mind comes back online. In short: she radiates!
