My story has carved my path. It’s outlined the steps I’ve taken to become who I am today.
Each breaking lead to an opening.
Each struggle deepened me into my truth.
Each moment of healing shaped my heart to love more fully.
And now I get to support other women who are experiencing what I’ve overcome. So you don’t have to figure out the path by yourself, so you don’t have to walk it alone.
It’s the reason why Spirit placed all she did on my path - so the depth that I’ve held myself in is the same depth I can show up for others in.
Because I get it. I’ve walked it. I’ve felt it. I’ve become stronger because of it. I’ve expanded into my most authentic self because I chose to use it as my fuel.
And so can you.
But if it feels daunting to choose the path of transformation, please know I’m here for you. And you don’t have to walk it alone.
Loving you from my entire being,
Niki 🤍

Who’s with me?!😘
Day 3 of 7 days of IG lives - Sharing my story of how I’ve become who I am today.
How the pain, challenges & trauma I’ve endured throughout my life has built a version of me who is resilient & willing to face the storm.
Who’s turned her pain into her deepest purpose - honoring the darkness to remind me that I am the light.
If you resonate with any part of my story, I see you, I feel you & I am here with you💕
And I’m here to remind you that your story is needed in the world.
With so much love,
Niki
5 years ago, I was terrified to fully express myself.
I was carrying so much grief, trauma, shame, and heaviness that I didn’t even know who I was anymore.
I felt stuck, numb, deeply insecure, and scared to be seen in my fullness.
I wanted joy.
I wanted freedom.
I wanted to feel alive again.
But underneath all of that was a girl who was terrified of being “too much” or not enough.
Terrified to take up space.
Terrified of being judged, rejected, or abandoned if she showed her truth.
And then something shifted.
I found community.
People who gave me permission to be wildly expressed.
Who showed me what authentic expression looked like.
Who reflected back the parts of me I couldn’t yet see in myself.
I found dance.
Breathwork.
Spaces where I could feel what had been trapped in my body for years.
Spaces where I learned it was safe to take up space, use my voice, and feel deeply.
And little by little…
the vibrant, wild, bright parts of me that had been begging to come forward started to emerge.
The version of me who speaks in front of rooms, dances freely, sings loudly, trusts herself, and lives in her purpose?
She was always there.
She just needed permission to fully express herself.
And maybe… the version of you that feels empowered in her authenticity is already in there too. 💛

The quickest way to stay stuck in numbness?
Scrolling through life instead of *feeling* it.
Your body was never meant to sit still holding years of stress, grief, anxiety, suppression, and unspoken emotions.
It was meant to MOVE.
To shake.
To breathe.
To express.
Because numbness isn’t who you are.
It’s what happens when emotions stay trapped in the body for too long.
And one of the fastest ways I’ve found to reconnect to joy, aliveness, confidence, and freedom…?
💃 Dance.
Sweet lil hip movement.
Authentic expression.
Letting the body say what words can’t.
That’s exactly why I’m hosting a FREE masterclass on moving from numbness → aliveness through body-based healing practices.
We’ll explore:
✨ why emotional suppression disconnects you from yourself
✨ how movement helps regulate the nervous system
✨ simple somatic tools to reconnect to your body
✨ authentic expression practices to help you feel ALIVE again
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, emotionally flat, overwhelmed, or stuck in your head… this is for you. 💛
Comment “ALIVE” and I’ll send you the details. ✨
Join us this Friday for our opening workshop - Freedom Expressions led by @nikiscaro
Niki will be guiding us through an empowered and playful exploration of how we converse with the language of the body and others through authentic movement and contact dance.
We’ll start by reconnecting with our own authenticity, exploring self and movement through the 5 elements. From there, we’ll explore how we can communicate with others through movement, diving into playful and connective partner exercises to build trust and relatability.
Niki has been a pillar in our dance community and his departing San Diego to begin her next chapter in Colorado. Join us for her class as we send her off 💫
$25 at the door
Doors Open at 8pm

PSA to all my womb holders!!!
It’s time to reclaim your freakin power babe.
It’s time to be so bold and courageous with your voice.
It’s time to own your truth and speak your boundaries, needs and desires.
It’s take to take up mofckn space SIS!!!
And we are WAY more powerful when we rise and ride togetha to create WAVESSSS babiieeesss!
Who’s with me??
How many times in your life have you wanted to scream, yell, or let that bratty teenager throw a tantrum but instead you silenced yourself? You shoved down the frustration, the hurt, the anger or rage into a dark cave within your being and have felt powerless?
How many times has your anger or rage come out unconsciously towards someone else and you said something that you didn’t mean?
These are the symptoms of suppressing and avoiding those big, intense emotions that maybe you learned wasn’t safe to experience or express.
But just because you don’t express it doesn’t mean it’s gone.
Oh no it’s still there. It’s just secretly pulling the strings of your life behind the curtains and you have no idea.
But when humans come together to express emotions that we all carry and feel, something magical happens.
A frequency of liberation and collective permission to be in your raw humanness.
To feel that you are no different than the person beside you also needing to express their pent up fire.
Because if the fire isn’t given an outlet of expression, it burns you from the inside out.
The energy in the room at my last Ecstatic Dance class was straight up 🔥 and ✨! Potent and liberating.
And I’m only teaching one more class at @trilogysanctuary before I move to Colorado! So come dance and express with me on May 23rd! It will truly be the most special dance I’ve ever curated - and not just saying that but for real yaallllll….it’s going to be EPIC!
Link is in my bio and pre-sale tickets are live until May 9th before the price increases.
It would mean the absolute world to dance with you and co-create in the power of collective liberation🪩🙌
See you on the dance flowwww!
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Let that sink in for a moment. What do you notice arise?
Contraction, resistance, fear? Wanting to hide?
Sis I FEEL you! That was me this morning. But I made a promise to myself to show up daily for myself through my Sadhana - daily devotional practice - so that I can embody the version of me I know I’m meant to be.
Working through the resistance is always the hardest part but OH LADDYYY does it feel amazing on the other side.
So my question - what have you been resisting lately? And no judgement here bc I’m right there with you!
Whatever you’re resisting though is literally the doorway into the change you’ve been wanting to make but haven’t yet.
My invitation - step both feet through that dang door and do it scared, do it feeling the discomfort but KNOW that your truest self is on the other side ready to celebrate and thank you for showing the heck up for yourself🙌✨
Life lately 🤍
Travel, family, soul family, nature, sing alongs with cats, sadhana altar + morning pages, a heart full of answered prayers🙏✨
Just doin my best at livin in this wild world. Finding and creating moments of joy despite the chaos.
