NMP Somatic Education Canada

To whom it may concern:

​

Nikki began her Hanna Somatic Education training in 2015. She graduated in 2018, and has continued her education with us by coming back as a teacher’s assistant for the past 2 years. We are hopeful that when travel is allowed she will return. We look forward to this.

​

Nikki has more than 25 years teaching experience as a successful dance teacher and studio owner. Her personal injury and chronic pain has made her a very empathetic and personally knowledgeable teacher of Somatics. Her over 40 years of study in the field of dance has given her valuable knowledge about the body and movement. She is outgoing, warm, and approachable, which makes everyone around her feel comfortable. Our students and teachers love the energy she brings with her as well as her personal knowledge and teaching skills.

​

I highly recommend Nikki as an instructor. The program she has created---Somatic Exercise Teacher Training—is an excellent course. It is put together well and it will ensure that those taking it will be gifted with the ability to not only teach the somatic exercises to others, but they will be able to use the somatic exercises for their own personal practice.

​

I give her my highest recommendation.

 

Sincerely,

Eleanor Criswell Hanna, Ed.D. Director Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training
