Spiraling to Wellness

Episode 8: Faith continued … Nikki Savage, our master healer at Nourishing Storm, is the woman I turn to when I forget my faith, when everything feels heavy and I need to remember what’s important, what practices and beliefs bring me back to center. Along with being an inspirational teacher, Nikki is a Massage Therapist, Reiki practitioner, Anatomy teacher, Herbalist, creator of Love Alters and now a Certified End of Life Coach. Nikki talks about building awareness around the faith we hold and, most importantly, how to apply healing practices to keep Faith higher than our Fears. I loved having Nikki as a guest for this beautiful theme that, once applied, can carry us through any Storm.

Included in this conversation is a talk on detoxing. If you are interested in learning more about the 21 day detox we offer at the Storm follow this link: https://nourishingstorm.teachable.com/p/21-day-detox

Episode 7: Faith. Joining us for this episode during our month of Faith are Rick and Beth, two students of Nourishing Storm who are demonstrating their true faith in love, especially in these trying times. Both came to Yoga to find connection and, in the end, they found each other.

Tune in to hear how Rick and Beth met in their 50s and were planning to be married just as everyone was asked to stay home and avoid public gatherings. But, they kept their faith strong and decided not to “postpone joy” as decided to go forward with the wedding. Rick and Beth are shinning lights, demonstrating how they are living every day to the fullest. In this episode we talk about the most important things we can do to keep our relationships strong and be open to love as we move through life’s storms. Be prepared to fall in love with these two… and life!
