When doing more adventurous travel, I often struggle to find the right balance of “DO ALL THE THINGS” and “actually, this is vacation and I should rest so I return revitalized.” Luckily, Nicole’s thoughtful planning helps establish that balance for you. Yoga nidra under the stars. Camel rides. Sunrise over the dunes. Respectful and helpful drivers and translators prepared to help you accomplish anything. Nicole has brought everything together for an experience as engaging as it is relaxing. Morocco is a second home for Nicole, and she ensures it feels like one for you as well. Her support ensures you aren’t limited if there’s something off-plan that you want to experience, but you feel like you’ve gotten the full experience even if you do nothing more than what’s on the agenda. Her calming energy means that even when you’re extremely type A, you never worry about what comes next. I am so lucky to have had this experience, and I want to go back immediately. You will too.

I can't picture a better way to be introduced to Morocco than Nicole's yoga & culture retreat and Sahara extension. So well organized and thought out that on top of her restorative yoga practice that helps regulate an overworked nervous system, the surroundings and people she partners with to created this seamless retreat added another layer of safety and calming effect that allowed for vulnerability, openness, and healing of some sort. The best part is she thinks and plans for us (with windows of free time of course), a relief for anyone who is looking to leave their busy thinking brain at home during travels. And you can also trust in her to take care of things. Overall, the memories that we created together (planned and not planed) are little treasures that put a smile on my face and make me yearn to go back.

I am so blessed to have stumbled upon this trip. All my senses were engaged with new tastes, smells, sounds, sights. New people. Nicole was wonderful. We got to see the real Morocco when we went to the Medina, and the women carpet weavers in the mountains. Each day was exciting. And each day I learned something new. If you are considering a retreat with Nicole I wholeheartedly recommend you go. You will not be sorry. My trip was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Nicole.
