Hi, I’m Nicole.
Please, call me Nicci, as my friends do!
I have a simple philosophy and approach to life. It encompasses three simple values that I practice every day:
Every moment is an opportunity to realize the nature of your True Self.
Practice kindness towards yourself and all other sentient beings.
Live lightly on the Earth and in harmony with Nature.
A lifelong seeker of eternal truths and wisdom, you’ll find me reading, writing, meditating, practicing Yoga, or walking amongst the tall white pines that surround my home. When not traveling, I am trying new recipes and experimenting with my love of cooking. And in the spring and summer, I am deep in the garden, a true idyll immersed in the sights and sounds of nature.
Nicole Goott is the author of Yoga and the Five Elements, Spiritual Wisdom for Everyday Living. As an invited lecturer for the Theosophical Society in America, she has presented on compassionate approaches to personal and spiritual growth, grounded in secular ethics that are in service of the greater good of all. Nicole has passionately taught yoga, meditation, and a spiritual practice of self-discovery in group classes, workshops, and retreats for over a decade and a half.
Fusing her background and synthesis in various mind-body approaches to healing and growth, solopreneurship, and an early career in financial services and consulting, Nicole brings a multi-disciplinary approach to working with clients and in her teaching. Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, with a life sabbatical in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and regular travels internationally, Nicole brings a multicultural perspective to her work. Her home base is in the United States of America, where she has lived for more than two decades.
Nicole guides others in rediscovering their inner wisdom and guidance. A compassionate, socratic approach invites individuals to explore their inner life, beliefs, and values. Techniques such as guided meditation, somatic practices such as breathing, coupled with exercises that invite self-examination and introspection, support individuals in coming into alignment with themselves. Stuckness gives way to flow and joy.
