What People are Saying About Nikki
“Nikki is the first person I turn to when I’m at a spiritual, emotional or professional crossroads. She speaks deep sense. and is broadly educated in a way which I’m only beginning to fathom. I’m a cynical business owner who travels regularly. Like most people, I don’t want to waste my time, energy and money working with anyone who isn’t smart, perceptive, supportive, sharp-witted, encouraging, wise, and who calls bullshit when she sees it. Nikki is all these things and hands-down the real deal.”
“After the first session that I had with Nikki I was able to reduce my insulin by 5 units and my blood work has remained steady. I also have COPD with asbestos on my lungs and my breathing has improved even though the doctors have told me that this disease gets progressively worse and can not get better. I have more energy and less pain in my body since I have been working with Nikki. I feel better than I have in many years and I am 79 years old. Thank you Nikki.” - R.J. Sr. Retired Longshoreman, Squamish Nation
“Nikki is a powerful healer and light worker. She is beyond intuitive meeting you where you are at; sensing the right modality needed to further your soul’s journey. I have been blessed to work with Nikki in a series of formats. I completed the medicine wheel which was life transforming. I have attended her retreats and done both group and one on one healings. Every session, retreat, wheel module allowed for deep changes to my outdated thought and coping patterns. Nikki will open your eyes, your mind, your heart, and change your soul! You will keep coming back for more I promise!” - V.A. New York City, CEO/Business Executive
“The wheel has been one of the most profound and direct methods of healing and transformation I have experienced. After years of meditation, yoga, coaching, and therapy, I was still struggling to transcend some very ingrained patterns that were inhibiting me from living the life I wanted to live. I can’t put into words how the process of the wheel has helped me along this path, but it has shifted things in me and given me a trust in myself that I never would have thought possible. My life is different, and I am different in it. I have so much gratitude for you (Nikki) for sharing these teachings in the way that you do, and for the space that you hold. I am forever grateful for this journey and for being led to the wheel.” - T.W. Osteopath, Salt Spring Island, B.C
“Nikki has truly been called to service by the shamanic traditions of our planet. What I have come to see so far is that her task is to empower each of her students to communicate with nature, communicate with spirit, and communicate with themselves. Her medicine wheel teaches that we are each healers, warriors, teachers, and visionaries and, therefore, can rely on our own nature-given inner team. In my experience of the wheel, I came to glimpse my own natural ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, the way I have disowned my power and connection. Since the wheel, I have been in closer relationship with the living source of life. I do not feel cut off and helpless; rather, life communicates with me directly, and I can establish communication at will. We are all children of the earth and stars: connection and creativity are our essence and birthright. For some of us, it takes training to remember who we are and what we can be. It takes training to dissociate from the wounded victim and to become the healer, warrior, teacher, visionary. And if one is called to shamanism, Nikki's classes (like Nikki herself) are powerful. They are not scholarly exercises: one does not take her class; one trains and does and acts and changes and rises. I recommend them for anyone who is suspicious of the notion that they are powerless and motivated to seek more freedom.” - M.S. Interior Designer/PhD, Los Angeles
“Nikki embodies a realness and authenticity that is absolutely delicious and contagious. She has an amazing ability to introduce you to yourself and welcome you home to you. Her trainings have not been easy, they've been work but have helped me come back to myself over and over again. Helping reveal parts of me that are wanting to shift and transform. Her incredible intuitive sense, connection to Spirit, and space holding ability have helped me navigate murky waters countless times. These teachings have saved my life and I am so grateful to be walking the path, learning to embody more acceptance and love everyday.” - K.D., Pemberton, BC, Equestrian Specialist and Teacher
“Nikki’s insights and warm speech has enlightened my reality in very critical times in my life. While hesitant to refer anyone in the esoteric world, I refer Nikki with confidence. I have deep trust in her work.”
“I wasn’t exactly sure what my life was missing but I knew it was something outside my vocabulary, understanding, and previous experience. I had tried to deal with my life in all the ways I was taught by my upbringing, schooling, and society, yet still felt like I was entirely missing the point. Somewhere along the way I made the commitment to myself that I was going to do whatever it took to change, to heal, to not spread whatever I felt plaguing me to others and certainly not to any children I was to have in the future. I found Nikki through the recommendation of a close friend who had done a reading with her, and I was at a point in my life when I was just desperately ready to explore my inner landscape and curious to learn from the ancient wisdom Nikki has so masterfully aggregated. The Soul Retrievals, Medicine Wheels, and workshops I have completed with Nikki’s guidance have unveiled to me what was always and eternally there to begin with, and taught me the tools I needed to step onto the path of living the life of my dreams. Through the teachings I have gained tremendous insight into the deepest parts, aspects, and dimensions of myself, and feel more connected to my life than I ever thought possible. If there is any part of these words that is intriguing or interesting to you, I encourage you to choose right now to dive in with both feet and an open heart. This work has helped me grow and thrive in so many ways and on so many levels, and I am forever grateful for Nikki and the passion with which she shares her gifts.” - N.B- San Francisco, 3D Designer, Engineer, Breath Technician
“Nikki brought beautiful insight and energy to her animal totem reading with me. The outline was in depth and took me to places that I knew and understood and yet also exposed me to the areas that operate beneath, that only she could see. Her experience as a shaman shone through in her guidance and direction, letting me know how I could access my animal spirits and use them to heal and protect me. She described each in detail and how they related to my personality and which direction they controlled. I am so grateful to have received her wisdom in this way.” Sitting in circle with Nikki, from the opening prayer to the closing blessing was life changing for me. The lessons of wisdom, love and acceptance that she is able to teach over the course of two days is amazing. Using various methods of interaction in the group, even though we were online, was so engaging and fulfilling. Learning to be in “right relationship” with myself and others is something I have become more aware of and that I strive to do now that I have attended her workshops. Her knowledge and mastery of the ancient teachings about love and life are invaluable. Thank you Nikki for all that you share and inspire in others!”
“Finding Nikki for the contract based soul retrieval saved my life. I am a ceremonialist and sound healer with a wealth of experience being exposed to spirituality and alternative healing methods in my family from a young age. I have tried many different modalities and nothing has come close to what I received in the soul retrieval sessions. I was in desperate need of help and by the guide of my spirit I found Nikki. I was feeling lost, confused and like pieces of my soul were stuck in different timelines. Minutes into meeting Nikki I knew I was in the right place. Her intuition and channeled messages were the exact guidance that I needed to come home to myself. Her presence and shamanic practices put the power back in my hands to be able to stand firmly on my own again. My deepest love to her for the work that she does and the amount of support that she has given me. Our meeting was truly a gift from the divine when I needed it the most and I will be forever grateful.” - K.L, Ceremonialist, Sound Healer, Vancouver
“The best way I can describe working with Nikki is like a lighting bolt of energy striking one’s soul - abrupt, life-changing and transformative. Every avenue of my life feels awakened and vibrant. I feel present, aware and very much in tune with my inner voice. The work we did with one another moved an inertia of energy which has helped unglue me from my old and self-limiting beliefs. It’s hard to explain in words, but Nikki is an incredible teacher and guide who helps you walk down a path of self discovery. I highly recommend Nikki if you’re looking for greater meaning in your life and reconnecting to your life’s purpose.” - M.S, Artist/Teacher, Salt Spring Island
“Nikki’s capacity to love and accept people ‘where they are at’ is extraordinary. Taking part in a Medicine Wheel facilitated by Nikki was a moving experience. Her guidance allowed me the time and space to look inward and accept what I saw… it also provided an opportunity to hold space for others. Playing witness to other people’s vulnerabilities and personal stories is a precious life experience. It teaches non judgement, compassion and reflection. It was an opportunity for self growth, intimate human connection and spiritual learning.” - C.J- Comox Valley, Special Childhood Educator, Counsellor, Mother.
“I am very particular about who I call my teacher. The position is not for the faint of heart and I believe in taking the work seriously. If you have the opportunity to sit in circle with Nikki you are supremely blessed. Whether you do one wheel or more, the medicine Nikki offers and the wisdom she holds is radically deep, compassionate, and understanding. I am beyond words grateful to have Nikki and this lineage be such an integral part if my life.”
“Having know Nikki for years at first through my wife as her Shaman and then as a Healer when I was going through some very tough times, she is without question one of the most unique spiritual talents there is. I have had many powerful experiences with her and one of them was with her at one of her Spirit Wheels and there was no mistake that I was supposed to be there. She is an energy- mover for a new perspective." - G.S, Photographer, Celebrity Consulting
“Nikki has guided me on a very meaningful spiritual path during which I was able to grow personally and professionally over the span of many years. Her acute understanding of family dynamics, emotions and business makes her an invaluable ally. Nikki has a unique set of skills which she can perfectly apply and adapt to any circumstance.” - V.B, Celebrity and Brand Management and Production, Beverly Hills“
“In a nutshell, Nikki is the best counselor I've ever had. I knew Nikki for years as a shaman, and did not consider her a "counselor". Nikki was a powerful and strange force of nature. Five months ago, I approached Nikki as I always had in the past: I simply needed help. I needed her to come in and clear up an inner and outer mess for me. I never knew why her actions were effective, I only knew that they were effective because each time I invited Nikki in to do shamanic work with me, the actual trajectory of events shifted in some way. This time was no different: things happened. But this time, our work continued and became weekly. Now, she is my teacher and my best counsel. Her capacity and level of understanding appear to be bottomless. Her knowledge of world wisdom traditions is vast, her synthesis brilliant, experiential, and raw. Yet she is a deep-feeling real human friend, one of those helpers on this planet who are eager and energetic about helping others--one by one if necessary--to heal what needs healing and become more alive, more radiant, more joyful. And at the end of the day, she gives me excellent advice! For those of us whose self-work, self-understanding, and self-improvement are inseparable from a greater quest for alignment, truth, and service, Nikki Hainstock is a touchstone. She is the wise woman of our tribe.” - M.S, Los Angeles
“
My family and I were lucky enough to find Nikki after going through three years of extremely hard emotional and physical traumas that overtook the lives of our whole family. Working with her has made it easier to endure the lasting effects of those unfortunate events and to get a new perspective on life as well as clearing so many old and buried emotional and spiritual issues. I am grateful for having Nikki in my life and hope that she will continue to learn and teach for many more years to come.”
“Deciding to take the soul retrieval training with Nikki was based out of a deep soul’s calling. Synchronicity and following the breadcrumbs of my heart lead me to finding her and her beautiful teachings. I am honoured to be a student of someone with so many rare qualities. Her integrity, patience, vision and loving guidance is undeniable. Throughout this course I have acquired the skills and confidence to venture into the subconscious and bring lost back soul pieces. I so look forward to bringing these techniques and teachings to my current practice and offerings. Thank you Nikki for being a beacon of light in my life in a time of some of my deepest darkness. Aho.” - K.L, Sales, Vancouver
“Nikki is a magical teacher, incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to the subject matter, having studied and been initiated over many years. She combines training and practice with powerful transmissions and is incredibly insightful. Nikki genuinely cares about each of her clients and helps and connects with them in a sincere way. I met her during a happenstance emergency and she came by and delivered the most jaw-dropping diagnostic of the animal-based event, we were quite stunned. Then I determined to keep her as a teacher in my life forever! Her teaching style is big on empowering the student to be self reliant and she fills you up with an incredible amount of resources in a short amount of time. I was lucky enough to visit Quadra island with her and it was MAGICAL! A sweet and fiery soul, I recommend Nikki to my friends and you'll be lucky to work with her!” - J.T., CEO/Business Owner, Reno
“Nikki is an authentic, engaging and genuine individual. As a teacher and healer, her work is powerful and profound. She employs traditional shamanic practices to help guide her clients on a unique path of personal growth and healing. A session with Nikki is a refreshing reminder that ordinary reality is not always as it seems.” - R.N. Real Estate Manager, Los Angeles, CA
“Each session I have had with Nikki has been inspiring, uplifting, and created a real shift in my consciousness. The healing work she has done with me has been dramatic, it’s as though she has insight into my physical body as well as my soul. My world feels safer with Nikki in it.”
“Nikki is an amazing intuitive healer! She has changed my life. She is uplifting and positive even when I am not feeling that, and has helped me to keep going and be strong. She has helped me clear a lot of stuff and has helped me to be more grounded. I recommend working with Nikki if you want a transformational healing experience and to empower yourself with the tools you will learn! Much Gratitude and Love!” - S.F. Photographer/RMT, Portland, OR
“Since meeting Nikki some years ago after a concert of mine on the west coast of BC, I have been witness to her incredible talents as a healer and a reader. Her work is routed in the shamanic traditions and in addition she is constantly expanding her wisdom with a magnificent openness to her social and environmental surroundings, using it all to contribute to both her learning and teaching. Her tremendous gifts are evident before any reading or healing begins, through a powerful sensitivity and a strong presence in the now. Her contributions to my healing and life journey have been incredibly significant. One of the reasons I am not surprised by Nikki’s growing success is because she accesses the cosmos while simultaneously having two feet planted firmly on the ground. I feel this is a great gift which allows her to receive and service a vital amount of energy and knowledge which she is making accessible to anybody who is ready to take on their own path toward healing.” - S.N.M. Musician, Berlin, Germany & Paris, France
“I have had the honour to study and receive the medicine from this majestic woman, Nikki Hainstock. Nikki has a profound ability to shape-shift to her surrounding environments in order to invite and hold a set of powerful Shamanic teachings. She graciously shares the medicine through a variety of treatments and practices. Nikki’s deep intuitive capacity opens hearts like a bolt of lightning. Her loving-kindness provides the strength needed to face and embrace karmic and ancestral imprints. Her honesty melts knots. Her smile soothes wounds. Nikki has guided me through soul journeys and the medicine wheel, which have brought about an incredible amount of healing. She led me into different realities, perceptions and perspectives, and provided me with very practical tools to assist in communication, intimacy and right-relationship. I hold a deep appreciation and respect for Nikki and her offerings.”
