Niko is a multi-faceted individual, embodying the roles of ceremonialist, psycho-spiritual coach, and transformative energy worker. With a wealth of experience in entheogens and peak initiatory experiences, Niko's nearly decade-long dedication to assisting individuals with plant medicines has been shaped by his profound devotion to the study of the heart. In the midst of life's trials, Niko creates a space of warmth and unwavering certainty. He is deeply passionate about guiding individuals to connect with their inner wisdom, which holds the innate power to heal the body, mind, and spirit. It is with resounding joy, gratitude, and humility that Niko extends his heart and hands to those who are drawn to him through the sincerity of his life and prayer.
From a young age, Niko's innate ability to form connections in a neutral and non-judgmental manner has drawn adults, animals, and children towards him. Despite facing challenges and confusion in his adolescence, he navigated his sensitivity, lack of identity, and misunderstood spiritual connection in the best way he knew: with coping mechanisms that led to addiction, rebelliousness, and self-destruction. However, guided by his mentors and teachers, he recognized these intense qualities as his greatest gifts, transforming them into deep compassion and empathy for others.
Part of Niko's medicine lies in the profound healing journey he undertook to reclaim his authentic self. Whether individuals struggle with substance abuse, spiritual or emotional crises, or simply feel stagnant in life and seek personal growth, Niko's approach is to meet them where they are with complete acceptance, gently guiding them into communion with their higher selves. His unwavering faith in the unfolding of the self enables him to maintain a broad perspective, even in the face of daunting challenges. Many have found solace in his calm and steadfast presence during significant transitions.
Niko wholeheartedly believes that by embracing our true selves, we recognize that the challenges of the human experience serve as opportunities for healing and growth. Through cultivating friendship with our shadows, we transform them, reintegrating neglected and underdeveloped aspects of ourselves into wholeness.
Dedicated to a path of self-exploration, understanding, and compassion, Niko continuously seeks ways to deepen his alignment with his mission to serve. Over the past decade, he has immersed himself in earth-based practices, utilizing them to transform personal and collective wounds. His ceremonial experiences and teachings from Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica, Canada, and the United States have shaped his unique and powerful offerings. Drawing from his training and guidance in plant medicines, prayer, and ceremony from teachers of the Quichua, Santo Daime, Spiritist, and Lakota traditions, Niko is inspired and empowered to share his gifts with those in need.
