Testimonials
“Before I met Nicole, I couldn’t sit. Ive have ADHD all my life and Im now 60 years old. I cant put into words what she has taught me. But I can say I look forward to sitting in my sessions with Nicole. I am learning more and more. Its not about meditation anymore. It’s about life. Cant recommend enough.” Barry Wood, Dry Dock Road, Tweed South
“I suffer from a significant health condition. Nicole helped me change the way I am with that condition and helped me understand my mind and my thoughts. Life is easier. I enjoy the learnings very much. Ive tried meditation before. But it was Nicole who helped me understand it and experience it.” Maddi Bailey, Hope Island
I have have had to experience loss in my life. I couldn’t make sense of it until I met Nicole. I couldn’t rest. Turn my thoughts off. Now I can manage it better. Nicole is a comfort in hard times. She’s a wonderful teacher. Diane Pepper, Piggabeen
I loved my experience at Ananda Meditation. I have done a bit of meditating but had not been able to understand some of the basic techniques which was really annoying. After doing only the first class I feel way more confident. I know what Im doing. Nicole has a lot of experience and wisdom and was able to teach me things in a few hours that Ive been trying to understand for years. Would recommend to anyone new to meditation or anyone wanting to improve their practice. Fiona White, Byron Bay
