✨ Luminousness website is now live ✨

I’m so proud to share something that’s been quietly unfolding behind the scenes.

Creating this website has been a creative, challenging, and eye-opening journey - one that asked me to meet my fears, stretch beyond my tech limits and get clear on what really matters.

This space is not about perfection. It’s about presence.
Like me - and like Luminousness - it’s a reflection of where I (we) are right now.
It captures a moment in time. A new beginning.

And I’m truly excited to keep adding to it as things evolve - to let it grow alongside my work, and reflect the vision, purpose and passion that sits at the heart of everything I offer.

Thank you for being here.
This is a space that honours exactly where you’re at.

So welcome. Hello.

Go gently. Be playful. Stay curious.
Nicole 💛🙏

Lately, I’ve been sitting with this quote:
“Life must be understood backwards; but… it must be lived forwards.”
– Søren Kierkegaard

We move through life trying to make sense of things while they’re still happening - still raw, still unfolding.
We try to understand before we’ve lived it.
And when the clarity doesn’t come right away, we often assume we’re doing something wrong.

But the truth is:
🔸 Life reveals itself in layers.
🔸 Meaning can come later - sometimes years later.
🔸 The work is actually to be with life as it is… not as we wish it to be.

So instead of trying to figure it all out, what if we made space?
✨ Space to feel without rushing to fix or change it.
✨ Space to breathe without justifying why or proving our worth.
✨ Space to be kind to ourselves when the path feels messy.

Especially now, as we enter a season where expectations rise and our energy becomes scattered - it’s the small, steady returns to self that creates inner safety and an anchor in uncertain times.

✍ I’m working on something quietly behind the scenes - Self-Paced Sanctuary, a membership hub for the journey inward. A space to reconnect with your rhythm, deepen your self-trust, and gently come back to your body, mind and soul. Our first theme? Will focus on self-love, the real kind. But there is more on that soon.

If you are finding it difficult to find your feet or return to your centre, a Holistic Kinesiology session can gently support you in reconnecting in your own unique way, in your own rhythm.

You don’t need to do it alone.

With gentleness,
Nicole x

Hi, I’m Nicole, and it feels like the right time to reintroduce myself.

I’ve never really done things the conventional way. I see the world differently, and my approach follows that lead. Curiosity and imagination are my motivators. And trial and error, along with life experience, play a major role in how I show up in the world.

I deeply value personal development and do my best to integrate it into my everyday life.

I’m a super proud single mum of one, who is my greatest teacher and heart-opener.

Even though I’m not exploring as much as I used to, I’m still a traveller at heart. Nature is my medicine. Creativity, especially doodling, helps me ground and nurture my nervous system.

Life has been incredibly challenging at times, but those experiences have shaped my purpose and led to the evolution of Luminousness - a reminder that there is always a way. Even when our inner light and wisdom feel buried, they’re never lost - just waiting to resurface.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to healing. It can be gentle, especially when we work with the body, honouring our journey and moving at our own pace. Within pain, there is possibility. And with time trust, in both self and life, can be rebuilt.

This is the foundation of Luminousness.
A safe, nurturing space where women are met exactly as they are - through Holistic Kinesiology, ThetaHealing, somatic integration and deep listening. Whether you’re moving through survival, seeking reconnection or simply ready to feel more like yourself again, you will be held with presence, compassion and support for your unique journey.

You’re welcome here.

Holding space for you,
Nicole x

The essence of Luminousness logo... ✨

The watercolours capture the art of life — light and dark, mess and magic. Imperfect, overlapping layers, but still fluid and flowing.

The colours:
💜 Purple — creativity + imagination, often the missing pieces in healing and growth.
💙 Blue — trust, calm + clarity, the foundations of transformation in every area of life.
💚 Green — growth, renewal + hope, because evolving is never in a straight line.

The hummingbird reminds us that joy, resilience, and stillness can exist even in uncertainty. It’s the only bird that can fly both backwards and forwards, with wings moving in a figure 8. Despite its size, it represents courage, perseverance, and adaptability — and holds a deep connection to our ancestral lineage.

The circle speaks of gathering, wholeness and cycles.

The sparkle highlights the “ness” in luminousness - the quality of being luminous.

Each element carries meaning, beyond the surface — just as we do.

🌟 Why I chose the name Luminousness 🌟
Luminousness is the embodiment of being luminous — the state or quality of our inner light.

For me, Luminousness represents:
✨ The glow that returns, even after grief and trauma
✨ The clarity that rises from confusion
✨ Transmuting pain into possibility
✨ The power of inner safety and presence — despite our past

It’s not about fixing. It’s about illuminating.

You already carry your own truth — your light.
But sometimes, it gets buried beneath layers of conditioning, pain, responsibility and fear…
Dimmed by the exhaustion of living in survival.

Luminousness nurtures the coming home — the remembering of who you truly are.
It’s a name that symbolises our uniqueness.

Offering a safe space to reconnect.
Your body. Your wisdom. Your way.

Thank you for being here.
I look forward to sharing more with you in the coming days.

Changes have been quietly unfolding in the background… and tomorrow, they step forward.

Tomorrow, things become Luminousness.
This is more than a rebrand.
More than a launch.
It’s a quiet evolution.
A becoming.

A beautiful representation of gentle healing—
Your body.
Your wisdom.
Your way.

It’s standing in alignment.
Working with women to transmute pain into possibility.
Remembering what it means to be luminous — To be the light.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.
This space now carries not just a new name, but a clearer direction.
A realignment.
An honouring of your uniqueness—
And your right to be an active participant in your own becoming.

To live a life beyond survival,
Rooted in clarity and calm.

There’s much more to come.
But for now, I invite you to feel the shift…

With softness & excitement,
Nicole
