Hi, I’m

Nicole! 

Let's practice together

"I am deeply passionate about helping people feel better and let go of thoughts, words, actions and sensations that are not serving, so they can come back to what they were born as... a divine light of creation filled with happiness, freedom and love. When this happens, I believe that all living things, including this planet will benefit." - Nicole Turner

I grew up in San Francisco loving creative expression and physical and mental activities such as dance, gymnastics and playing instruments that helped me get lost in the present moment. After spending some time in Lake Tahoe and getting very sick, I started to dive deeper into my own health and wellness. In 2000, I finally prioritized a consistent self-care routine focused on pain relief, mental clarity, and emotional support.

I continued to be very active in dance, extreme sports, and outdoor activities, but still was experiencing pain without any injury. I was introduced to yoga in San Diego by a doctor in 2005, and I immediately noticed a huge improvement. 

At this time in life, I was a passionate traveler, environmentalist, and change maker in corporate marketing, environmental consulting and nonprofit sectors, and ended up working for Keep Australia Beautiful NSW in Sydney - one of the leading organizations for litter reduction and environmental sustainability.

I practiced yoga for 12 years before I decided to participate in my first teacher training in Sydney, and this was only because I was in between jobs and thought it would be a nice break. I had no idea what I was about to experience.

Within the first two weeks of my training, I experienced a death in my family that shook me to my core. I had never experienced this amount of grief before. I felt hopeless and could barely function. I truly believe that diving deeper into yoga (all 8 Limbs) is what helped me through this difficult time and to find my purpose. 

I was not only being held - physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually - by community and the consistent routine of our intensive training days, but by the multi-faceted philosophical, physical, mental, emotional, energetic and historical aspects of the teachings. It was during this time I realized that I wasn't practicing to get good at yoga anymore, I was practicing to get good at life.

Yoga is truly the practice of unionizing the body, mind and soul. It encompasses everything I think is fascinating about the world, and I couldn't believe I had been practicing for so long without knowing this.

So I decided to become a teacher. 

My mission is to share all aspects of the practice globally, so we can all feel better NOW, not in a decade or more.

My offerings invite philosophical, somatic & tantric elements to develop more self-awareness. Detaching from the external world, connecting to our body, breath, & minds, acknowledging sensations, emotions, & thought patterns, so we can let go of what’s not serving, learn the lessons, keep love in our hearts, & come back to the balance & freedom we all desire & deserve. When this happens, I believe all living things, including this planet will benefit.

I am inspired by study & practice with many amazing teachers from around the world, & embodiment of various modalities since 2000. I’m a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) with 2000+ hrs of teaching & 700+hrs of certifications from the United States, Australia & Indonesia. Styles include tantric, restorative, breathwork, meditation, philosophy & 8 Limbs of Yoga, chanting, vinyasa, assisting/adjusting, standup paddleboard, & kids yoga. I specialize in customized private & corporate wellness supporting individuals & groups, & collaborate with other experts for additional offerings. Im a continuous learner and love to take part in ongoing trainings so I can continue to support myself & others in every stage of life.

I am excited about expanding my knowledge in the field of sound healing, and am currently participating in an intensive multi-year, professional multi-instrumental and acoustic voice certification with Sound Healing Bali that is helping me explore my myself on deeper layers so I can share vocals and sound as an intuitive energy healing modality. It's also been one of the most powerful tools I've learned to ground, open my heart, and expand my mind.

In collaboration with my teacher Shervin Boloorian from Sound Healing Bali, I helped to create the new San Diego Voice and Sound Collective that hosts monthly acoustic multi-instrumental voice and sound experiences in San Diego and around the world. Check out my events to join a public group session. You can book a private by emailing me at [email protected]

I enjoy working with companies and individuals in-person or virtually in sessions, classes, events, trainings and retreats, and love partnering with other coaches, teachers, healthcare professionals, fitness experts, musicians, healers, and organizations that are on a mission to make this world a better place.

My intention is to help people prioritize their health and well-being and realize that it's beneficial to practice these life enhancing tools ongoing throughout our lives. The work never ends, it just changes and evolves as we do. Helping us to deepen our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us. This is a domino effect, and how we bring ourselves, all living things, the planet, and the universe back to the core vibrational essence of love. 

Let's practice together.
