Love YOuR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF
The love we show others can only be as deeply rooted and fulfilling as the love we show to ourselves. When we shift our perspectives and learn to truly love ourselves, both our shadow and light aspects, we deepen our capacity to radiate love back into the world in all its many forms. Connecting with ourselves empowers us to show up as better individuals, citizens, partners, parents, friends, businesspeople, athletes - the list is endless. All you need to find your place in this life is already within you. Let’s find it.
“When you authentically feel grateful for your life - your breath, you respect the power it holds. Like Mother Gaia using the power of the ocean waves to patiently smooth and shape rocky shores, you use your breath to soothe and heal the rocky parts of your mind. You use it to design your inner landscape into a suitable home for your soul to live in. When your own soul has a suitable home, you are kinder and more gentle with other peoples homes, not because you know what the inside looks like, but because you understand what it takes to build them.”

Reiki Services
Reiki is an energetic healing practice that originated in Japan, but is practiced today all over the world by people from all walks of life. The word Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki can be translated as "spiritually guided life force energy.” It is available to be tapped into by attuned practitioners anywhere, anytime.
As recent scientific consensus will support with concepts including quantum entanglement and understandings around vibrational frequencies, the practice of offering Reiki is timeless, meaning that capacity to receive healing energy is perpetually available any person, place, thing, or time. In the same way that we as individuals can comb through our own memories to facilitate healing for the past or anticipate positive outcomes for an upcoming event in the future through intention, practitioners can intend for the healing energy of Reiki to be sent to any specific aspect of your life, if desired.
Remote
Remote sessions do not require the recipient to present with the practitioner in space or time. After you book your remote session, your practitioner will text you at a time that is convenient for them to offer you Reiki. You do not need to do anything special, but if your day allows we we will always recommend talking some time for mindfulness during the session if possible. Your own mindfulness practice will aid in facilitating the Reiki, regardless of when you practice. Remote sessions last for 30-45 minutes.
Virtual
Much like remote Reiki sessions, virtual sessions do not require you physically present with your practitioner. With the virtual session option, you will schedule a time to be virtually present with your practitioner. Scheduling a virtual session is a great way to dedicate time to your mindfulness practice. They also allow you the opportunity to speak with your practitioner before and after regarding any areas of your physical, mental, and/or spiritual health you are seeking to release, transform, or send a little bit of extra love to. Your practitioner will discuss setting up a relaxing environment in whatever space you choose to sit or lay for your session. Virtual sessions last for 45-60 minutes.
In-person
In-person session may be scheduled based on practitioner and location availability. An in-person Reiki session is a beautiful act of self-care managed for you by your practitioner. You can expect to be lying comfortably in a space co-created between you and your practitioner’s variety of calming offerings. The only job you will have will be to lay back and relax. In-person Reiki sessions offer all of the benefits of the other offerings in addition to sharing a managed physical space with your practitioner. In-person sessions can be hands-on or hands-off and last for 60-90 minutes.

A message from Nicole:
Hi friend, this is something I want you to read from me directly. I firmly believe that each and every one of us currently possesses the answer to every question we could possibly ask the Universe.
To be clear: I don’t think you need a coach.
However, one thing I have found to be true of this experience is that we cannot get by on our own perspective alone. The fact of the matter is that coaching is a skill set that I do have and in the process of following my purpose, I am being compelled to share it - so here I am.
In 2023, I studied leadership under Marshall Ganz, a community organizing legend. True to any organizing effort, a huge part of the curriculum was dedicated to learning how to develop more leaders - i.e., coaching. It was a trajectory altering experience that yes, also happen to give me a piece of paper (see: diploma) that I can flash as entry to the coaches’ club, but the majority of my experience comes from my time in the Army.
During my time in service, I taught resilience skills like goal setting, problem solving, and self-regulation to Soldiers and their family members. Much of that looked like working through the practical application of the skills with others, including the hundreds of trainers I’ve mentored. Additionally I ran three-month wellness camps during which I coached 20-30 Service Members seeking to improve their overall health and wellness, beyond Army standards.
The truth is that I have a lot of experience in this area and it has been something that has brought me a lot of joy in my life and would love to share it with anyone. If there is one person that reads this and thinks that I can use this skillset to be of service, I will be grateful I offered it. I would like to co-create each experience individually, so if you’ve got something going on in your life that you need a little bit of structured support with, please get in touch and we will work together to discuss a capacity that meets your needs.
Committed to a better future
We envision a world where all human life is valued and demonstrated to be valued in the way we provide for one another; where service swaps and mutual aid are the norm; where each human experiences their innate right to be taken care of. We believe that in order to see that future, healing is necessary for and must be accessible to everyone, not just the financially privileged.
The Bridge is committed to providing all Self connection services at strictly donation based rates. Partners in any of these services are never required to make donations, but those that do can be assured that any financial energy exchanged will be directly transmuted into efforts to move us closer and closer to the future we seek to create. The Bridge first and foremost intends for the highest good of all.
We believe the world needs healing light now more than ever. A community provided for provides back.
