Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikki Benoit.
Hi Nikki, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Growing up in a small town in Maryland, I realized the conventional life didn’t feel right for me – I needed to spread my wings and explore! Not just explore the world, but explore who I am as well. At 23 I moved solo with whatever fit in my car to a place I had never been, Clearwater, Florida. Within 2 years I met a man who inspired my world view, which led me to my passion for keeping wild animals wild. Earning my degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida, what I had learned (and discovered within myself) is that there’s a bigger step toward honoring wild – and all – life, and I went vegan (abstaining from consuming / using / purchasing all animal products where possible). From there, my work in the environmental and animal liberation movements sent me from St. Petersburg, FL to Los Angeles, CA where my much-needed spiritual journey took off. Focusing full-time on animal suffering naturally left me depressed. I realized that if I didn’t come to peace with what was going on, and take action from that place of peace and trust that change was possible, I couldn’t help things shift. Digging deeper into my own unfolding, I realized that the greatest way to help end the systemic suffering of animals – and all life – is to help humans connect with – and live guided by – their soul. I began developing my own intuition which led me toward using and learning wellness and spiritual arts like reiki and yoga. Becoming a practitioner and teacher of both, I relocated to northern California’s Marin County for 4 years, deepening my skills with relationships and building a business. In 2019 the wild fires ran me out so I headed back east, pursuing a potential life in Austin, TX. Within a month I knew living in a landlocked state wasn’t a good fit for me and finally followed the decades-long intuitive call to explore “Miami” – which I had been dismissing as an option all along (I felt my stretch in Florida was complete with my LA move in 2010!). Not knowing anyone in Miami when I arrived, I could not have anticipated how warmly I was received and how much of a perfect fit my gifts and skills have been here. My passion is to help humanity live their soul purpose—which always requires self-love. I use wellness and self-discovery tools such as yoga, Reiki, meditation, breathwork; I channel the Akashic Records, offer shadow work and intuition development, and am a certified Theta Healing practitioner. These tools and processes support clients and students toward discovering – and living from – their own soul guidance. By living from that connection, we’re building the life of our dreams, sharing our highest potential, with greater ease, co-creating our new humanity, rooted in love and oneness.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Like all journeys there have been peaks and valleys of calms and storms. My biggest challenges have orbited around money issues, coupled with (these past 8 years) random, undiagnosable health challenges. Trusting my intuition, pulling myself out of “matrix” living, trusting in divine supply and my ability to manifest right-aligned opportunities has been the longest, most uncomfortable, and most rewarding muscle to develop.
We’ve been impressed with Wellness w/ Nikki, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I specialize in helping clients and students live a Self-led life—one guided by their own intuition, passion, and calling. Energy is our true language, and when we learn how to understand and work with it, life begins to flow with greater intelligence, ease, and efficacy. I see each of us as having our own pipeline of divine supply that naturally provides healing, abundance, joy, creativity, freedom, and pleasure—everything we need to thrive in our Earthly experience. But when we carry limiting beliefs, stuck energies, or unprocessed trauma, that “hose” gets pinched off, creating the illusion of deficiency and struggle. My offerings help pinpoint where that hose is constricted so you can allow miracles and magic—also known as “normal”—to flow into your life again, unobstructed. It’s all energy, and the sooner we learn how to work with it, the more flow, freedom, and joy we get to experience.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
I love that many came to mind with this question 🙂 So hard to pick just one! The most impactful memory has to be when I was 8 (?) and my mom sat me down to help me understand “God” . My older sister and I weren’t raised with religion so I had no idea what everyone kept talking about and why many of my friends couldn’t play on Sunday mornings and Wednesdays after school. She encouraged me to question everything any religion or tradition teaches you, consider cosmic potentials, use discernment and stay curious. She gave me permission to not just explore my own truth, but to question systems at large. This was a pivotal moment in my young development and helped pave my path forever more!
