“After a successful surgery that was very traumatic to my body, I had a shamanic reiki session that was of spiritual and physical healing with Nicole, Chakra Shaman. I can tell you many things however first, you are blessed to even have the opportunity to be supported by her. I doubt there are many people locally or even nationally who haven’t just found natural healing but have been called and obtained 20+ years of practice. My review is that I was blown away by how much she brought into my session. I was comforted by my ancestors, had a spiritual awakening that lasted, and felt an end to the trauma to my body. You are in the right place and will be in the “right hands”. Glad you read my review however you’ll likely wonder “Why did I need one? once you start working with Nicole. ”

“I contacted Nicole Petroff to perform a much-needed Shamanic Extraction and Soul Retrieval to begin the process of healing and rebuilding my life after suffering successive traumatic experiences over a long-term period. The experience I had, under Nicole’s professional guidance, was life-changing and too incredible for words. Nicole successfully extracted all the negativity from my aura and reconnected my soul. Thanks to Nicole, my spirit is whole again, the negative energies have been extracted from my aura and I am enjoying the benefits of her powerful abilities. My experience with Nicole was nothing less than amazing. I highly recommend Nicole’s services to anyone on the path to rebuilding their life after experiencing trauma. ” —

Linda Shoemaker Hiller, Williamsville, NY “

 I have known Yogini Nicole since the fall of 2010.  After a few private yoga sessions with her I was walking without the cane, that I had been using for two years.  She is truly a healer and the best i have ever worked with.  I also have been to her group classes and she is most knowledgeable in her field.  I have been to mostly restorative, yogic sleep and private sessions, and also experienced her chakra workshops, reiki, and relaxation therapy.  I told her just last week, that she had helped me more than two years I had spent going to physical therapy.  She understands the body and living in the moment, and will bring you back if you try to “future or past trip”.  She has given me gifts for my own yoga practice at home and she gives the gift of hope.  Nicole has journeyed to India and Thailand and is the best yogini personally and professionally.”


Julie Patzwald, Vancouver, Canada “Dear Nicole, Words cannot express how grateful I am to have met you and how meaningful our time together in Thailand was to me. Your calming and loving presence is so healing. You have a natural gift of healing and holding space for people. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for helping me on this healing journey. Thank you for your friendship. I believe in you. I believe in your talent your wholeness, your intelligence, wisdom and ability to inspire people. Much Love”

Michael Brooks​Apopka, FL Nicole,I must thank you, from the bottom of my heart/soul, which is infinite, for all that you have taught and given me. I am truly blessed, and more at peace when being a part of your world. You have carried me over realms that were beyond what I had dreamed. I have seen you touch mine and many other hearts with my own eyes and you may never know how much that means to me. You are an extraordinary teacher, and I love you for that most of all! May my gratitude fall upon your heart during a period of great bliss and joy.​Warm-Bright-White-Healing-Loving-Light I do send and pray.Namaste

Yoga Reviews

Maureen Hopkins, Tonawanda, NY

“You were the one who piqued my interest in yoga and were largely responsible for me even trying it again after many, many years. Your accepting, non-judgmental, soothing, tone and approach gave me permission to keep plugging away and practicing despite my age and unfamiliarity and now i am hooked. I will give some thought on my next steps but i really wanted to reach out to you to let you know how much i really appreciated you and your class, Thank You so much. “

Christine Shriver Buffalo, NY

Jason Beaudreau Buffalo, NY

“Yogini Nicole is a dedicated, passionate teacher of Yoga. It became evident early on that she has made her practice a Way of Life. As an instructor, she is knowledgeable, kind, gentle, intuitive, and shows a genuine concern for her students. Her approach to her own practice and that of her students is very holistic in terms of encompassing and cultivating the different aspects of yoga. Any person interested in studying a deep, organic yogic practice, should consider Yogini Nicole.”                                                                                                                                             

Susan Persico Buffalo, NY

“Nicole approaches yoga as a spiritual practice, not just physical exercise. The emphasis on breathing, acceptance of difficulties of the poses with no attachment to outcome, closing relaxation and meditation demonstrate just what yoga is: a means to discover your higher self. I find that yoga centers and calms me, and gives me a more balanced perspective on life. I really have come to rely on its benefits!! ”          

                 
Michael BrooksApopka, FL “Nicole,Ooo bless you! You are such a sweetheart to me !:) I do thank you for all your efforts, and empathy you have put forth in helping me. My pain has tamed down quite a bit “Now”. I could NEVER find a Yoga Instructor quite like you down here in Florida. You are so unique, and I do so cherish the connection we have. You have led me to the Realization of learning more Hatha yoga before I progress any further in my Kriya meditations. Atoms of my extra oxygen transmute into prana current when I perform Kriya yoga. This process rejuvenates my brain and spinal centers, but at the same time creates enormous amounts of energy currents throughout my body that I couldn’t handle anymore!! I feel strongly that Hatha yoga and your Sampoorna yoga will prepare my body considerably for what I am going through. I could never thank you enough my dear yogini!​Namaste,
