I'm Niko, a holistically minded body-mind-heart coach. I help people get out of their heads, into their bodies and in touch with their hearts so they can enjoy a fulfilling life with better health, greater peace of mind and deeper connections.
I am a transformational coach, which means that, apart from supporting people in achieving their goals, I am ready to explore their depth with them and hold space for profound, lasting transformation.
I use the word "holistic" because my philosophy is that in order to heal and become fully integrated humans, we need to bring balance and harmony to all aspects of our being - this includes the mind/psyche, the body, the heart and our s*xual/creative energies. Therefore I work with a variety of tools and practices, such as my three favorite medicines: movement, music and meditation.
I also love to facilitate cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dances, kirtan/singing circles, active and passive meditations, sharing circles, men's groups and other transformational group experiences. Anything that helps myself and others get out of our heads and open our hearts a little bit more makes me happy and this world a better place, if you ask me.
I am a trained and certified instructor of both yoga (200+hr Hatha-Vinyasa at Krishna Village, Australia) and Qigong (YOQI Associate Instructor under Marisa Cranfill).
My mission is to embody love, compassion and grounded presence in the world. To help and inspire people move towards (self-)acceptance, authenticity, gentleness, open-hearted living, peace and presence. To create and facilitate spaces and moments of healing through connection, love and celebration for myself and as many people as possible while remaining anchored in presence and enjoying the process fully.
I do this
through my own self-practice and healing, my essence, presence and being. By holding a high frequency as much as possible.
through in-person sessions, events, retreats and workshops
through thought-inspiring content
in one-on-one support/coaching sessions.
I draw on knowledge, wisdom and inspiration from diverse traditions, the main ones being Yoga (in the broader sense of the word), Tantra, Qigong, Taoism and Buddhism. Further tools I rely on are my sensitivity and intuition, shadow work and my favorite plant medicine: cacao.
My vision is:
For myself: I am healed, integrated and balanced, My heart is open and giving and receiving love generously. I am present, grateful and not too focused on future goals. I live in a vibrant, loving community in harmony with and surrounded by beautiful nature. I celebrate life and appreciate or create beauty daily. I continue to be be a force of loving kindness in the world.
For humanity and the planet: We live in peace, love, freedom and harmony. We are awakened and grateful for all the blessings that surround us. We feel connected and as one family, respecting mother earth and every living being.
