Nikki’s Perspective
Nikki’s Approach
Nikki is a peer recovery guide — not a therapist, not a clinician. Her work comes from the inside out: from her own experience of eating disorder recovery, neurodivergence, complex trauma, disability, chronic illness, and cancer survivorship.
“Healing is not linear. Safety, self-trust, and a meaningful life are built gently over time.”
A note on scope
Nikki’s Recovery Insight is peer-led content rooted in lived experience. It is not therapy, clinical treatment, or medical advice. If you are in crisis or need professional support, please reach out to a qualified provider.
Lived Experience
Nikki shares from her own recovery path — not from a textbook. What you hear is real, personal, and imperfect.
Curiosity & Creativity
Recovery doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Nikki brings curiosity, play, and creative expression into the mix.
Nervous System Awareness
Gentle, trauma-informed practices that work with your nervous system — not against it.
Rest & Restoration
Rest is recovery too. Sleep practices, gentle pauses, and permission to slow down are woven throughout.
Joy & Inner Child Play
Making room for joy is not a luxury — it's part of the work. Nikki invites you to play, laugh, and rediscover lightness.
Compassion, Not Perfection
Nikki's work is imperfect by design. There's no pressure to do it right — just an invitation to show up as you are.
