Hi, I'm Nikki, Qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist and founder of The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary.
The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary wasn't created from a perfect life, or from someone who has always had it all figured out. It was created from real life — the messy parts, the heavy parts, the rebuilding parts.
For a long time I lived in survival mode. I know what it feels like to push through exhaustion, to carry emotional weight silently, and to feel like you're always trying to "get back to yourself" but never quite making it there. Over time, my body began asking for something different. Not more pressure. Not more coping. Something softer.
That's where this sanctuary was born.
I created The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary for women who are tired of rushing their healing. Women who are done forcing themselves to be okay. Women who want to feel calm, grounded, and safe in their own skin again.
My approach is trauma-aware and nervous-system-led, combining gentle healing work such as Reiki with calming supportive tools and practices. I am a Qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, offering trauma-aware hypnotherapy sessions to gently support women in creating lasting change at a pace their nervous system can truly relax into. I also offer supportive sanctuary tools such as carefully chosen crystals and jewellery, designed to act as grounding anchors and gentle reminders of safety and self-connection in daily life.
This sanctuary is here to remind you:
My Mission
My mission is to create a calm, trauma-aware sanctuary for women coming out of survival mode, supporting nervous-system safety, emotional healing and gentle reconnection, without pressure, force, or rushing the process.
Who This Is For
The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary is for you if…
- you've been living in survival mode for so long that rest feels unfamiliar
- you feel emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you're carrying too much alone
- you've experienced trauma, emotional abuse, burnout, or a difficult chapter that changed you
- you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing or constantly pushing through
- you feel disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your sense of self
- you're ready for healing that is gentle, grounded and nervous-system safe, not rushed or forced
- you want calm, clarity and hope for the future, one soft step at a time
You don't need to be "spiritual." You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to feel called toward a softer way forward. You are welcome here, exactly as you are.
What You Can Expect Inside The Sanctuary
Inside The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary, you can expect a space that feels calm, grounding and supportive — a place to breathe, soften, and come back to yourself without pressure.
This is healing that honours the nervous system, respects your pace, and focuses on safety before transformation.
Here, you can expect:
- a gentle, trauma-aware approach that never rushes your healing
- nervous-system support that helps you feel more regulated and grounded
- a calm, supportive space where you don't need to perform or explain everything
- tools and practices designed to help you feel safe in your body again
- honest guidance rooted in compassion, not quick fixes
- soft encouragement to rebuild self-trust, confidence and hope for the future
Whether you're receiving Reiki, exploring crystal healing, or following along as new offerings unfold, this sanctuary exists to remind you:
Healing doesn't have to be harsh to be real.
What I Don't Do Here
In The Soft Rebellion Sanctuary, I don't believe healing should feel like another thing you have to push through. So here's what you won't find here:
- no pressure to "move on" before you're ready
- no forcing emotions, reliving trauma, or pushing past your limits
- no judgement, shame, or "what's wrong with you?" energy
- no toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine
- no hustle-healing, quick fixes, or unrealistic promises
- no spiritual bypassing or ignoring what your body is telling you
This sanctuary is built on softness, safety, and truth. Your pace is honoured here.
